City Intelligence.
Brooklyn Young Men-Athletic exercises.-In our sun down perambulations, of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing "base," a certain game of ball. We wish such sights were more common among us. In the practice of athletic and manly sports, the young men of nearly all our American cities are very deficiant-perhaps more so than those of any other country that could be mentioned. Let us enjoy life a little.
We would that all the young fellows about Brooklyn were daily in the habit of spending and hour or two in some out-door game or recreation. The body and mind would both be benefitted by it. The game of ball is glorious.
