Though usually a very busy day with metropolitan cricketers, Labor Day this year did not witness as many matches as heretofore... the militia would require the sole use of the grounds for a grand parade.
A nine-foot shark, said to be the biggest ever kept alive in captivity, is now in the Aquarium at the Battery, Manhattan. He was captured off Rockaway Beach...
The shark had almost exhausted himself by his efforts to break through the strong seine, and Brown and some comrades easily held him.
The authorities put the big fellow in the shark tank with some smaller brethren of the finny tribe and a huge turtle weighing 500 pounds.
