QUIZ NEW posTprAsrER,

MIR. Benjamin N. English APpoint-
ed-Chat About the New Incum-
bent.
As will be seen in our telegraphic columns,
Mr.. Benjamin R. English has been appointed
postmaster of New Haven. Mr.. English is a
well known gentleman about forty years Of
age. He was for years in the lumber bust
ness on Water street, firm of Tuttle & En-
glish. His partner was Mr.. Tuttle, now
treasurer of the New Haven Savings bank.
Mr. English has served the city as a member
of the Board of Fire Commissioners and has
served the town as member of the Board of
Selectmen. He has been for years secretary
of the Evergreen Cemetery association. He
was for number of years a member of the
New Haven Grays and was for some time
orderly sergeant of the command
and one of the most popular
men that have held the position. He
is also one Of the leading veteran Grays and
has held various Offices in that organization.
For several years past he has been in the SER
vice of his uncle, Ex-Governor English, hav-
ing his Office over the First National bank in
connection with Ex-Governor English's pri-
vate Office. He is another of the long list of
New Haven boys who were pupils of the old
Lancasterian school under John E. Lowell
who have attained prominent positions
among their townsmen elsewhere. He is
personally man of fine appearance. In
height he is as tall as the postmaster whom
he succeeds, though he is of somewhat
slighter build. Concerning the present in
cumbents of minor positions in the post
Office, gentleman well acquainted
with Mr.. English said it would
no doubt be his plan to re-
tain as many of them as would be neces-
sary to keep the Office running in good
shape, even if it should be necessary to re-
tain for while some coming under the head
of Offensive partisana" Concerning his
qualifications for the position different gen
tlemen remarked yesterday that he was a
successful business man and would no doubt
most acceptably fill the place, AS to OBJ
tanning the bonds (s175,00 required the
new appointee will not have to stand long in
doubt. Mr.. English had no knowledge of
his appointment until informed of it by re-
porters of the daily press late last night

The meeting of the polo league, which was
to be held at Meriden yesterday afternoon
was postponed, as only two representatives

very exciting game of polo was played
last night at the Lincoln rink between the
Springfelds and the Lincolns. The Spring
fields were victorious, defeating the home
team by score of to 0.
The game was played under protest from
Manager Lincoln, who objected to the Spring
fields playing professional (named Seeley)
last night. Manager Lincoln has notified the
Springfelds that unless they play their regu-
lar team tonight, Withdrawing the profess
sional player, he will not take the Lincolns
to Springfield to night. The introducing of
professionals is severely objected to by rink
managers generally as degenerating polo
playing by introducing the sporting element
into what should be amateur performances.

Editor Troup Appointed Intern al
Revenue CollectOr-RumOrsa and Ru-

Yesterday there were lots of rumors in
town as to the postmastership, collectorship
and the internal revenue col1ectorship In
the morning the rumor was prevalent in the
city that Judge Samuel Bronson, formerly
law partner of State Attorney Doolittle, had
been appointed postmaster of New Haven.
This rumor went about town flying and was
credited by many of our prominent citizens

head and was to the effect that Mr..
Benjamin R. English had received the
postmastership, Mr.. John G. Byxbee of Mer-
iden the collectorship of the port, and Editor
Alexander Troup of the Union the collector
ship of internal revenue. 1t was known that
that powerful factor in Connecticuts Demo
cratic politics, Hon William H. Barnum,
passed through here yesterday morning and
went to Hartford and that certain New
Haven gentleman rode in the seat with him
to Hartford. Nothing definite has, however,
cropped out regarding the relationship of
this port, but it is fact that Benjamin R.
English has been appointed post
master of New Haven and Editor
Troup has been appointed collector OF
internal revenue for the district of Connecti-
cut. President Cleveland having appointed
those gentlemen to the Offices named yester-
day. Mr.. Troup succeeds Hon. Joseph Selden,
