The Brooklyn Daily Eagle's historical reports from 1875 to 1897 cover various notable events, including Mexico's funding for the U.S. Centennial, dramatic volcanic activity at Mount Etna, the inaugural golf tournament at Dyker Meadow Golf Club, and the discovery of the cornerstone of a demolished church in Fort Hamilton. Each report reflects not only the political and cultural interests of the time but also the importance of community events and natural occurrences that shaped public engagement in Brooklyn and beyond.
The Mexican Congress has appropriated $30,000 for expenses at the U.S. Centennial.
Mount Etna is in a state of eruption, and the outbreak is sufficiently serious to be included among the historical eruptions.
The opening day of the Dyker Meadow Golf club of Brooklyn will occur tomorrow at the club house.
The old corner stone was snugly laid away in the rear foundation wall, three feet below the ground level.
