On this day, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported on three notable events across different years. In 1865, the reorganization of the 14th regiment was announced, with new uniforms ordered and a petition for arms presented. The 1906 report detailed a meeting with the Interstate Baseball Association regarding Sunday baseball games and police involvement. Finally, in 1912, the article mentioned the promotion day in public schools, emphasizing the effort to encourage students to meet standards for advancement in their studies due to overcrowded conditions in schools.
"The remaining members of the gallant 14th regiment of this city, being now at home, the regiment is being reorganized. New uniforms of the color and stripe worn by the regiment have been ordered, and last evening Alderman Newman presented a petition asking the city to become security for 600 stand of arms which they are to receive from the State."
"The Sunday baseball question cropped up again at local police headquarters today when a committee of the Interstate Baseball Association wanted to know if they held games tomorrow, whether there would be any interference on the part of the police. Mr. O'Keeffe said: 'It's your move on this checker board.'"
"Owing to the crowded condition of the schools, all students are given every possible encouragement to reach the standard required for promotion, so that they may be well enough equipped to continue higher studies in the future."
