ADELE POOL DIX Please send us your address. We have a letter for you. 6th Warder Has Floor Editor Old Timers: To Old 6th Warder: I remember Mrs. Manning's grocery on ricks and Pacific Sts. She had a daughter, Mamie, and two sons, Hughie and Charlie.

But did you know Mrs. Hickey who kept a little store on Pacific St. between Hicks and Em-mett How many old 6th Warders recall Buchanan and Lyall's tobacco factory on Carroll St. near Bond Ever work there? I remember Mr. Bergen, the truant officer.

He was the father of J. D. H. Bergen, the real estate man. Mr.

Bergen was a very nice old gentleman and a good friend to boys playing hookey. OLD 6TH WARDER, Kingston Ball Club Editor Old Timers: What old timer remembers the Kingston Baseball Club? They trained Bob Fitssimmons at Bergen Beach for his fight with Jim Cor-bett. Louie Keogler was a popular bandmaster and Dick Valentine a cornet player. Remember the Volunteer Rangers marching up Grand St. on Thanksgiving Day with Jim Crawford (now a Senator) mounted on a white horse leading them Those, my fnends, were the happy days.

Where, oh where, are the pals of those days and the lovely gals I danced with at Knickerbocker Hall, the Masonic Temple and Palace Hall? JACK LECKIE. Brooklyn in '68 Editor Old Timers: I moved from New York to Brooklyn in 1868. My father had a grocery store on the corner of Hicks St. and Hamilton Ave. On the other corner there was an empty lot running from Hicks St.

to Columbia St. where people lived in huts and owned pigs and goats. On the other corner was Moran's stoneyard and next to that was Temperance Hall, where the old-fashioned balls and parties were held. On Henry St. and Rapelyea St.

was a large frame house where Mrs. Luquer lived and on 4th Place there was a florist named Kasold. On the corner of Clinton and Luquer Sts. was the Church of Our Saviour and on 4th Place and Clinton St. there was a pump.

People c3me from far and near every night to get a pail of pump water, which was very cool to drink. The Kellogg family lived near 4th Place and there was a grocery store on the corner of 4th Place and Clinton St. I also remember the Parkinson family, Dr. Welty and the McGahie family. I would like to know if there is any one who remembers Schumacher's candy store, Atkins' shoe store, Peter Duff's furniture store and Meyer's dry goods store on Columbia St.

What a ball club. ANOTHER 8TH WARDER. Brooklyn Was Beautiful Editor Old Timers: Old Brooklyn Knight wanted to know if any one remembered the coal yard at Nostrand and De Kalb Aves.

I say the firm was Bucken-berger, although I may not have spelled the name correctly. Attended 35 School but do not recall Miss Hanable. When I went there we had Miss Riker for principal and Miss Henderson. Who remembers the clicking of the paper mill and the goats the folks had on Walworth I recall the pump at Marcy and Lafayette Aves. What delicious cold water could be obtained from it.

Brooklyn was a lovely tree-shaded city in those days and one could extol its beauty forever. OLD EAGLE READER. Kids in Cay '90s Editor Old Timers: To Albert B. Freystadt: I was more than glad to hear from an old timer of Public School 19. Remember these three principals: Miss Cunningham, Mrs.

Gunnison and I think all In the school knew him. I recall the places you mention, also Kenney's bakery. My father knew Mr. Kenney very well. My mother knew Cutters', the dry goods dealers.

Do you recall the first train tht ran over the Broadway struc ture? I believe it was with that same train that a man was killed at Hooper St. and Broadway on a Sun' day morning. I used to attend the Transfigura tion Church, of which Father Kiely was pastor. Gardener's laundry was on Broadway, ever patronize it?

Peck Peekskill Is also derived from the same name. One of ihe family, leaving New Amsterdam, rent up the Hudson and settled beside a little creek which became known as Pieck's aXUL later shortened to Peekskill. My grandmother Peck's grand father was John Burt, one of the prison ship Jersey victims, and his bones repose under the Martyr's Monument in Fort Greene Park. Mrs. J.

E. T. mentions the open cars which used to run on 3d Ave years ago. I remember them as going to Coney Island from 65th St and 3d Ave. They had two wooden steps at the side, running the full length of the car, which you mounted like stairs and, when you were safely aboard, the cenductor fastened the chain.

When I was in Utah in 1915, I rode in one of those very cars which Salt Lake City had bought from the Brooklyn and Sea Beach Railroad to use for carrying people out to 'the Great Salt Lake resort beach. It was a very great surprise to see the ca there, and be told they had been purchased in Brooklyn. MAE BELLE PECK. those days and paid only $12 a month rent for a whole house on Manhattan Ave. and Devoe St.

Those days will always live in my memory and so I say let's hear from you boys and girls. JOHN J. TAGGART. Brooklyn Belle Editor Old Timers: In regard to Fred Hayward's letter I believe the Mrs. Cohen he men' tions as one of Brooklyn's old belles was a saleslady in one of the Fulton St.

department stores. The one I have in mind was a beautiful worn' an and probably the best dressed woman in Brooklyn. She was a Gentile, born In Ireland and married a man by the name of Jake Conn (not Cohen), who had a clothing store on Myrtle Ave. near Adams St. about the year 1873.

He called his store "The Poor Man's Friend," end later he opened a saloon on Fulton St. opposite Bor ough Hall about where Bickford's Restaurant is now located. His saloon was called the Unique. Mrs. Conn had two sons, who both died in their twenties.

Jake died about 1882. A short time afterward his widow married a man named Phillips. I hope this answers Mr. Hayward's inquiry and if he can tell us anything more about poor Mary Cohn (for that was her name) I would be more than happy. I might mention, by the way, that Mary died about 1920, penniless, an inmate of the Little Sisters of the Poor on 8th Ave.

and 16th Sfc T. C. At P. S. 14 Editor Old Timers: I well remember P.

S. 14, Miss Devlin, the principal, and all the teachers In the school. I met Miss Doherty not so long ago on a De Kalb Ave. car going to a show. We had a long talk and she gave me her address but I lost it.

I recall when the teachers were transferred to Ryerson St. school No. 4, too. W. J.

M. To Other Oldtimers Editor Old Timers: To Harrv F. Fair: I forenr. Sr. Martin's was I'manuel.

Dr. Wal bridge was a fine old gentleman. Colonel Beadle of the ISt.h Bpet- iment was my father. Our family lived at 320 Union St. for 57 years.

Old Williamsburg Editor Old Timers: Williamsburg nearly 50 years ago who remembers: Eddie Manly's place where Eddie Slmms played the piano in company with Dan Carroll and Bob Dixon.

I saw Slmms fight Eugene Garcia of South Brooklyn and what a fight. Wowiel How about the Metropolitan Hotel at the foot of Grand St. Who can recall Jule Taft's poolroom over his saloon at Grand St. and Berry I remember when Loantaka over 40 years ago won the Brooklyn Handicap at the juicy odds of 40 to 1. (Did you have it?) Who remembers the great 25-round bout between Joe Cain of the Brooklyn Athletic Club and Marty McCue of New York at the old Halsey St, car barns and the eight-round fight between Jack Skelly of Williamsburg and Mike Leonard of South Brooklyn at the Clermont Rink? Boy what fisticuff ery! Skelly won his fight.

I attended the public school on S. 4th St. near 3d St. (now Berry St.) over 50 years ago. My family attended the Ross St.

Church, where Col. Andrew D. Balrd, a former Mayor of Brooklyn, was a member, as was John S. McKeon and the Mollenhauers. Blanche Walsh, the Actress I knew Blanche Walsh, daughter of Fatty Walsh, the Tombs' Warden, very well.

She later became a great actress. Does any one remember John Dougherty of the North Side who wrote "There Goes McManus" and Jack Spain, the miracle man? I recall. George (Shoulders) Maloney, the special cop, who Editor Old Timers: To H. H. I went to 15 School on State St.

and 3d Ave. I tried to find out when 3d Ave. was called Powers St. and traced it back to 1845. at that time it was still known as 3d Ave.

I also attended branch cf 15 School on Atlantic Ave. between 3d and 4th where the Salvation Army is now located. My hirband attended 15 School, too. A few teachers I recall: The Misses Campbell, GrifTen, Blake and Green. Principals: Miss Edgtngton and Miss Payne.

Morton's Scotch bakery was on the corner of Elm Place and Fulton St. On the corner of Gold and Pulton was the store of Schwartz, the blind trunk maker. He had two black Australian talking cats. This was 50 years ao. Mrs.

J. P. MILLER. How About a Reunion? Editor Old Timers: To N. A.

Read your inquiry in the old timers' column last week regarding Dr. Cruickshank, principal of Public School 12, and teachers of the same school and will say that I sure do remember them. I have often wondered where a lot cf the former pupils of Old 12 have gone to. Wouldn't it be fun if in some way a reunion of the pupils and teachers could be arranged?

WHN Will Osborn Orchestra. Editor Old Timers: Since I am a native Brooklynite (as was my mother also), I always read with keen Interest the old timers' letters. In last Sunday's edition Miss (or mts.) Edna Hazen states she is the great granddaughter of Andrew Walker Peck. Well so am I guess this makes us some sort of "forty-leventh" cousins, as my father would say. After his death, I found in an old wallet a time-yellowed newspaper clipping the obituary notice of Andrew Walker Peck, born Sept.

2, 1790, in Shawun-gunk (now Wallldll, N. who died at the age of 94. leaving three children, 22 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. John Davidson Peck, his only son, and my grandfather, was. when I knew him, a "saint on earth" if ever there was such a thing.

In his boyhood, however, he was known as "Andrew Peck's devil." Delivering Wedding Cake One story they tell about him is this: On the day his oldest sister (he had five) fas being married, he went fishing in the Harlem River. Smith St. was formerly called the Emanuel p. E. Church.

When a lit tle girl I attended the Sunday scnooi. I recall the roof was painted sky blue, and there were gold stars all over the ceiling. I thought it was beautiful and always felt that I was looking right up to heaven. The rector at that time was old Dr. Greenleaf.

He was succeeded by Dr. Walbridge and he, in turn, was re placed by Father Riddell, whose rectorship was of short duration, Then followed the Rev. Frederick William Davis, who led his flock of faithful followers lor 20 or 30 years up until the time of his death. He was loved by all. Balanced Budget Father Davis never ran his church into debt.

He felt that the money must always be in the treasury be fore the work was done; if the roof leaked it continued to leak until the money was worked for and HOW they did work! After his death the assistant of St. Ann's P. E. Church on Clinton St. was called and then his death followed, ending the career of little Emanuel Church.

All the beautiful memorials, including the Stations of the Cross, were moved to St. James P. E. Church, St. James Place and Lafayette Ave.

It strikes a note of sadness in the hearts of those who loved the little church to have such a death caused by the clty'j seizing consecrated property. OLD BROOKLYNITE. Ball Fan Writes Editor Old Timers: To John J. O'Connell: I concede your correction of the Big Four in baseball many years ago, Brouth- ers, lb; Richardson, 2b; Rowe, ss, and White, 3b; but I did not mention Hanlon Brothers. I mentioned Ned Hanlon, who played with the Big Four and I thought he was one of them.

Ned Hanlon, you will recall, man aged the old Baltimore team from 1895 to 1898 when they had such players as Billy Keeler, Joe Kelly, Hughie Jennings, John McGraw, Wilbert Robinson, Joe McGinity (the Iron man who could go in the box, pitch a double-header and win both games), Joe Corbet, Sadie Mc-Mahon, Charles Esper and many others whose names I do not recall at the moment. In 1899 the whole Baltimore team with the exception of Robbie and John McGraw was tranf erred to Brooklyn with Ned Hanlon as their manager. Robbie and McGraw remained in Baltimore at the time because of business interests. This old Baltimore team was on a par with the present-day Yankees under Joe McCarthy nothing could stop them. When Baltimore came to Brooklyn they played in the old field at 3d St.

and 4th Ave. Remember Roaring Bill Kennedy, who looked like Dazzy Vance in the box? There was no World Series then, the playoff games were for the Temple Cup. Am I right, John? N. S. POPPERT.

Principal Wed Teacher Editor Old Timers: Does anybody remember Frank Henderson, the undertaker, at 62 Myrtle corner of Jay Kemble, the dentist, was located at 64 Myrtle Ave. Dr. E. E. Goddard and Scolley Stoveman were at 74 Myrtle Ave.

I was a pupil of Public School 1 when the principal, Mr. Abbott, married Miss Day, one of the teach ers, and we were all Invited to the wedding. My mother, Sarah Kemble, worked as a saleslady in the Loeser store when It was first opened. Remember Mr. Meade's shoe store on Myrtle Ave.

near Duffield We never would buy shoes anywhere else. Dr. McDonald's drug More on Myrtle Ave. was later run by Dr. Williams.

Ever patronize it? My mother attended the Catholic school which was located on Johnson and Pearl 57 years ago. On Adams St. near Myrtle Ave. was a hay and feed store owned by Klpp and nearby was Frank Pouch, the undertaker. His nephew is car rying on the business now.

Blackford's awning store was at 70 Myrtle Ave. My brother was an errand boy there; he also worked for John Palmer, the printer, until NOTE THE NEW TIME LOUIS SHERMAN whmjaa CONDUCTOR VTf tVI A TONIGHT Tain DM AND EVERY SUNDAY Ov r.PlJ I. HOKE ACM SONS, INC. BROOKIYN.N.Y. Insure At the time they lived In Harlem.

When he brought back a string of small fish his mother (this very same great grandmother of whom Miss Hazen writes) was so angry at him for getting all dirtied and "smellied" up that she threw the string of fish out of the back door. In retaliation, when he was sent out with a basket of wedding cakes, to deliver the slices at the homes of the guests, as was the custom, he stood at "The Corners" of the crossroads and handed out a package to every passerby. Some neighbor saw what he was doing and reported it to his father who went after the young man (of about 7 years) and marched him home to retribution. Grandfather used to say that he "got a licking every and if by mistake a day was skipped he got two the next day to make up for It. Peck Slip Peck Slip, also mentioned by Edna Hazen, is the site of the original royal grant from the King of Holland to the first Van Pieck who came over here to New Amsterdam about 1616.

They dropped the Van and shortened the Pieck to Peck. Mr. Palmer passed away. I used to go skating with Julius uoiaschmidt, son of J. Goldschmidt the hatter.

We were chased many times by Mr. Mullins for making too mucn noise in front of his furniture store at Lawrence St. and Myrtle Avenue. Wooden-Wheel Skates They were the happy days when wooden-wheel skates could be bought for 49 cents a pair. Dr.

Bogaris, the dentist, was lo cated on Fulton St. near Pierrepont sc. My lather worked for him for 25 years. All a dentist could get for pulling teeth in those days was 25 cents and they were glad to get it! Rltzheimer had a saloon on Myrtle Ave. near Lawrence St.

Did you ever fill up there? I well remember the horse cars on Myrtle as I had many a ride on the back of them when a child. Who remembers the Baptist Temple Church when it caught fire and the beautiful Rose Window was broken from the fire's heat? That is all for now. Mrs. M. M.

Memory Test Editor Old Timers: On 5th Ave. and 9th St. was a stable called Dowd's and on the opposite corner was McCormick's dry goods store. Recall either place? VERY OLD TIMER, Good Old Days Editor Old Timers: How many old timers remember; When Capt. Martin Short of the N.

1st St. station house made a raid on the Unique (Old Bum) Theater and arrested the girl in blue of burlesque fame, throwing his coat around her, for exposing too much of her anatomy? You old timers should remember her name. Recall John J. Riley, superintendent of the Crosstown BRT barn at Clay St. and Manhattan Greenpoint? At one of the BRT strikes the men displayed placards and banners which read, "We are out on strike but J.

J. Riley IS STILL OUR BOSS He was that well loved and respected by all with whom he had dealings. His body now rests in Buffalo, N. Y. Dr.

Figuera's Charity The old timers must not forget the friendship and charity of the late Dr. Flguera of Stuyvesant Ave. and Willoughby Ave. Where are all the good teachers of years ago? Let's hear from you; contribute a few lines to the old timers' page! You pedagogues are always in our memories. Who remembers Dr.

Crawford, one of the first female doctors to ride the ambulance in the Eastern District from the hospital of the same name? Dr. Crawford was a prominent figure in the "Burg." Garcia's cigar store at Broadway and Bedford Ave. was a leading cigar store. Many an ambitious boy picked up Cuban and Spanish lan guages there. My father could speak it fluently and learned it from them.

Girls played with dolls in those days and there were no Jitterbugs! Names Conjure Memories? -In the vicinity of the 13th A.D. in the Eastern District how many remember John F. Hausel and Fred Eden, both first-class grocers on Leonard Do these names conjure mem ories: Sullivan, the Irish shoemaker: Smith's gambling house. Sweiger. the phonograpn man; Naeber, the stove man; Nugent, the saloon man; Fink, the druggist; Thielman, the baker; Weill, the haberdasher; Hartley, the fish man; 6chlssel's bakery, White, the tinsmith: Johnny Ennis' Democratic Club, Gabriel, the narciware man; Montgomery candy store, Powers and Lorimer All of the above were leaders their lines and most of them have passed on.

They were familiar figures in the 13th A.D. Other old time contributors have spoken of the fine belles in their respective districts, but where are the old time girls and boys gone that I speak of, namely, Catherine and Annie Brentans, Irene Dickenson, Marlon Cochrane, Loretta Schweifull, Marcella Murphy, Helen Slnnott, Mllly Weiseckel and Ann Drewer? Every one could pass in a Ziegfeld show for looks and shapes (and I knew them all a long time ago). Here are the boys: Edwin Lockwood, Charlie and Willie Habe- kost, Georgie Schmaling, Lew Pres ton, Johnny and Robbie Smith and their sisters Ida, Emma and Clara. Beautiful Girls Ray Clark and his sisters Lillian and Jessie. Those were the boys and beautiful girls worthy of note in this district.

Aunty Slnnott ran parties that lasted two days and two nights in Atlantic Editor, Old Timers: I remember Patrick Wynn, Janitor of Public School he was a fine man. I also recall Jim Godfrey's bakery on Warren near Bond St. When you bought 5 cents worth of buns at Godfrey's you got eight delicious buns, four thrown in for good measure. Jim was known for his generosity. Who recalls his 12 pretty daugh ters? Mamie was known as the prettiest girl in the 10th Ward.

I wonder If Jim is still around? HENSEN. 12th Police Precinct Editor, Old Timers: Answering T. H. F. whn wartfe in know who remembers the old 12th Precinct Dolice station on Fulton near Schenectady If memory serves me right, Captain Foulk was the commander, and a Mr.

Sheridan, sergeant. Then there was Eddie Gaus, a policeman by the name of Daly (we called him Pop Daly); Mr. Morrell, Tom Tracy, a Mr. Dingle, who often chased the boys congregated on the corners; a doorman. Chris Gibbons and a Mr.

Foley, also a doorman. Many times I carried messages from some of the people who were locked up over night and unable to get out oeiore morning, when they were taken to court. In the neighborhood of the station house was Scholty's tea store; Whitehead's store, where a parrot in a cage outside the store door hart a good view of the street from his high position. When the parrot saw a COP With a Derson in tow he would scream out "Something Up," and everyDoay on tne street would know inai an arrest was being made. Then there was Nnnnnn' hno store, Stem's gents furnishings, where you would buy paper collars and shirt fronts called Bosch's grocery, corner Stuyvesant Ave.

ana Fulton McCormick's, Louis Wlschusen's erocerv. Rnellpr the baker, where we bought Wash ington pie in large pieces for a penny; Zlegenbein's harness store, the cigar and stationery store opposite the 12th Precinct; Eddie Robinson's barber shop, with Eddie playing the banio when nn rnslnmari were there; Farnsworth's paint pnop, oeorge Hall, the butcher; Schilling's dear store. Rnm T.mi'c hat store, Bennett, the plumber, all on ruiton not far from the 12th Precinct. Also Gunnx' lnf mlwn baseball. The old "Corker" sand lot oaseoau clue, with Marty Wise and Buck Cunnineham a wi.

Theodore Robinson, my brother Wilbur and myself and others that composed the team, mhnm wn j. uu UUH now recollect. We played every oummer aiternoon in the horse lots at Albany Ave. and Fulton St. Barnum's Circus llKiYi th oca fat a In the early Spring for a week.

noo nui was alderman of the old 25th Ward and Ernsr. Natv, tv, Republican boss. He had a tobacco Biore on Fulton near Albany Ave. On Election nights a roaring big fire was made out of old boxes and barrels. The fire was started nnivif ir- rison's market, at th Fulton and Marion Sts.

Many places I have mentioned have been torn down, and the entire block has been made into a park named Stuyvesant Park. Many other places in the neighborhood I recollect such as the Easton and Prosser mansions, located on Stuyvesant between Chauncey and Bainbridge Sts. They have been torn down and other buildings occupy the sites. In conclusion The Brooklyn Eagle has has a part in our family I believe ever since It has been publishedto my knowledge it was read by my grandfather's family my mother and father and I have read it as long as I can remember. These are a few of the places that I know, Mr.

T. H. and hope that you recollect some of them for old times sake, HARRY GOTHARD. WNYC, 810K.J WQXR, 1550K.J WHN, 1300K. 515 WABC Buddy Clark entertains.
