ABOUT BROOKLYN PEOPLE AND THINGS.
Philo-Celts — The Third Annual afternoon and
evening Picnic of the Philo Celtic Society comes
off at Sheutzen Park, Third Ave. and Fiftieth St.
on Thursday Sept. 14. admission 25 cents, proceeds
to promote the movement for the Preservation of
the Irish Language. The celebrated Irish Piper
Professor Egan has been specially engaged for
the occasion. The Irish Language only as far as
practible, will be used by members. It is hoped
that all the Gaelic speaking people of Brooklyn,
and also, all who desire to promote Celtic Senti-
ment, will be present, and help to make the Philo
Celtic, the Picnic of the season,
Gilgannon — President Gilgannon of the Philo
Celtic Society, with his family, is summering at
Rockaway.
Shanahan — Mr. James M. Shanahan has declin-
ed a reappointment to the Board of Education
this is to be regretted, as there is no public board
in the city that requires the services of upright
and cultivated gentlemen more than the Board of
Education.
MacGuire — Counsellor John C. Mac Guire is
booked for the Democratic nomination for Surro¬
gate of Kings County, so the rumor goes.
Cassin — Mr. Thomas Cassin's name is being
mentioned in connection with the Democratic
nomination for County Clerk.
Walsh — It is said that Judge Walsh is talked
of in connection with the the nomination for Reg-
ister ; Col. Carroll having given dissatisfaction
in his appointments, Rumor says that he will
not get a renomination, besides, people say that
one term in so lucrative an office is as much
as could be expected.
Kinsella — The Hon. Thomas Kinsella is happy
since he succeeded in reorganizing the King's
County Democracy.
McLean — Mr. Andrew Maclean of the Eagle is
engaged in tracing the Arauian Migration;
Griffin — Dr. Griffin of the Board of Education
is a fluent Gaelic speaker.
Shroeder — It is said that exmayor Shroeder will
get the Republican nomination for Congressman
at large or that of Governor, and that such a com-
pliment is due to his great influence and fidelity
to party. Mr. Shroeder is very popular among
the Irish and German element.
Low — It is of significant notoriety that Mayor
Low has snubbed the Irish-Americen element,
notwithstanding that he owes his election to
that element in a large degree ; he has not
appointed one of them to the Park Commiss-
ion, and has sensibly kept them out of other
commissions. Serve them right.
Casey — Mr. Wm. Sarsfield Casey is an enthu-
siastic Philo-Celt.
Kyne — We are glad to hear that Mr. John Kyne
of the P. C. S. has completely recovered from
his recent indisposition.

genuine Philo Celt. has a beautiful Irish Jaunt-
ing Car in which he airs his family to Coney
