UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS.

Reports From Several Connectica,
Ranks-Owners Wanted For Nearly
| 100000.
The State comptroller has received from
! seven savings banks returns of the names
| and amounts due those of their depositors
whose deposits have not been added to nor
drawn upon for twenty years, and who are
not known to be living. The law of 1878 re-
| quiring such returns from banks also re-
| xuires that the returns received shall be de-
| livered by the comptroller to the General
Assembly con or before the third day there
Of" Obviously the intent of the latter pro-
vision was that the returns might be re-
ferred to the committee on banks for such
action as might be deemed advisable.
The comptroller has not submitted the
returns to the General Assembly, although
that body is now in the fourth week of its
session. Furthermore, the returns received
are of such a character that but little infer-
nation can be cleaned from them.
Several banks have very properly observed
the spirit of the law, and shown a DISPOSE
ton to rid their vaults of these unclaimed
deposits to the benefit of those persons, heirs
or otherwise, to whom they should go. The
New Haven Savings bank and the Farming
ton savings bank have adopted this plan in
making their returns. The others give no
information other than such as they were
compelled to give, and one bank officer is
reported as saying to an official of the comp
troIlers Office that he made his return
'tmerely to be accommodating. He did not
admit that he YVES compelled to, as the law
imposed no penalty for neglect.
The New Haven Savings bank reports the |
residence of each deposition, in addition to |
name and amount There are 81 unclaimed |
deposits, and the total is $9,891. OF against |
So, 996. 81 in 1888 The largest amount is to
the credit of Jane E. Kimberly, New Haven,
S927.87.

Lively Game of Polo.

An exciting game of polo was played at the
Lincoln rink last evening between the two
league teams, Hartford and New Haven.
The New Haven team astonished its oppo-
nents, who are at the head of the league, by
winning two goals in quite rapid succession.
Bert Marsh was the individual who won
them. Then the Hartfords braced up and
won two goals. Afterward they forced the
fighting and long contest ensued. The ball
was kept in the neighberhood of New Ravens
goal and the two goal tenders, Fred Perkins
and Theodore Fl. Mcdonald, had very lively
work in warding off the ball. But Captain
Redfeld of the Hartfords finally won the
desired goal. The time of the game was
thirty minutes. It was very lively and
the large audience was greatly interested.
The players were: Hartford, Redfeld,
Kimberly, johnson, Parker, Allen, Pratt;
New Haven, Willis, Perkins, Marsh, Nc
Donald Sperry, De Busy.

"A LIVELY DISCUSSION.
Fighting Over The State Fair

The proposed location of the State fair at
Charter Oak Park, Hartford, has caused live
ly opposition from the Meriden people. They
have appeared before the State Agricultural
society by delegates to urge its retention at
Meriden. They claim that the fair never
prospered at Hartford, but at Meriden has
done we'll. The amount of 81 600 has been
saved and is now on hand.
A motion was made to locate the fair at
Meriden for term of ten years and that the
society expend 81. 900 now on hand for per-
manent buildings The motion was quite
forcibly contested, and the whole matter of
permanent location for the fair was referred
to the executive committee after long de-
bate on allowing horse trots and the like.
The drift of sentiment appeared to be in ia
vor of the Meriden project.
Yesterday afternoon the present officers of
the Connecticut Agricultural association were

Harry Rowe Shelley Receives HOnors
From The Chicago Apollo Club.
Many of our readers will be pleased to
learn the latest success of Harry Rowe Shell
ley, the organist, formerly of this city. We
reprint the following from the BROOKLYN
Eagle:
On September 1, 1884, the Apollo Musical
club of Chicago issued letter to all Amer
lean composers inviting them to compete
for two prizes. The conditions were that the
accepted songs would become the property
of the club, and would be sung at
the second subscription concert of
the present season, February %, 1885
It was further required that the
songs were to occupy more than eight min
utes in performance, and that all MSS, ac-
companied by sealed letter, should be sent
to the chairman of the committee of award
on before January 1, 1885. The MSS.
were not to contain the name of the author
but to hear fictitious name, the accom-
panying sealed letter bearing the same ficti-
tious name on the outside and containing
within the name of the author. No letters
would be opened until decision had been
reached awarding the prizes, and then only
the letters of the successful competitors,
the other compositions and letters to be re-
turned to the address indicated on the out
side of the sealed envelope. The committee
of award reserved the right to reject all MSS.
In response to this invitation sixty-nine MSS.
We're received by the committee, and, after
examination, the committee awarded the first
prize of 800 and the second prize of $50
to Harry Rowe Shelley, Brooklyn, N.
Y, composer of the songs entitled ''The
Minstrel Boy" first prize), and ''The Casta-
met Song" Second prize). Mr.. Shelley is
organist of the Church of the Pilgrims (Rev.
Dr.. Storrs). He was originally pupil of
Mr.. Dudley Buck, with whom he studied,sev-
eral years. Several of his compositions have
been sung by the Apollo club of this city,
and he is known one of the most talented
organists and scholarly musicians of the
present day
