Admiral Farragut in Brooklyn

--He Plays the "Grab" Game at a Fair. --Admiral Farragut, last evening, with some friends, visited the fair which is being held in the chapel of the Church of the Messiah, and spent about an hour inspecting the many curious and beautiful articles exposed for sale. A young Miss approached him with the "grab" bag, and importuned him to try his luck, which he did, and became the possessor of a pen-wiper, for which he gave the enterprising young lady a twenty dollar bill. "--New York Post.
