POLO.

A Rough Game at the Lincoln
 Rink Last Evening Between the
 Hartferds and New Havens-H art-
 ferds Win to 2-1.5OO People
 Present.
 Another very rough game of polo, which was witnessed by about 1,500 people, was played at the Lincoln rink last evening be- tween the Hartford polo team and the New Ravens of this city. The former won, score 3 to 2. Much fault was found with the referee, Henry Goodman of Meriden, whom the crowd thought either did not know his business as a referee or olse favored the Hartfords as sev- eral fouls were made by them which he for some reason did not count.
 At the Lincoln rink this evening the Meri- den team will play the Lincolns game of polo

Bishop, the mayor, and Rev. Minot J.
Savage, were wired together. Here came in
an extraordinary scene. Bishop, blii,dfolded
as he was, and with one hand tied, took the
reins and himself drove the horses. Other car
riages containing reporters and spectators
followed in this unique procession.
Several times the carriage stopped. Then,
driven by Yankee curiosity, crowds sur
rounded it.
where are you going to hang himl What
has he beeen doingf' were questions poured
out III voheys. Bishop reached the house,
went up the winding stairs like a cat, found
the pin, and stuck it INTO his coat. 1t is re-
mafkable that he did not take the same route
on the drive that the first party did. The
gentlemen kept their minds fixed upon the
pin, and the mayor occasionally held his
hand TO the back of Bishops head. 1t is
noticeable that the mind reader rubs his head
with his hand, when pursuing a thought or a
hidden article.
Bishop is n young American, who was
first known as an exposer of some spiritual
istic dark cabinet doings. He told a Globe
reporter that when in his mind reading state
he could read or write the Russian or Turkish
language, though he Gid not know anything
about either. 1t was the same with language
as with music; hecould read the ideas in the
mind of another, and the stronger the mind
the better he could read. His best subjects
were men capable of great thought concen-
tration.

W. IRVING BISHOP. he thought he
could do; he asked for the fullest, freest
investigation, provided it was performed in a
kindly way, and he said he would acknowl-
edge himself beaten if ne did not perform all
he advertised to do.
A number of the most prominent and re-
sponsible men of Boston, some of them with
with q reputation in Europe and America,
were appointed judges to see that all was fair
and square.
First, the slim young magician detected q
mock murderer and found the knife he had
hidden. He was taken to another room, with
a committee. Rev. Brooke HEREFORD played
that he murdered Col. Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, stabbing him with q knife. He
then hid the w,apon about the mantelpiece.
Bishop was led in blindfolded. But he de-
clared the conditions were not satisfactory.
The first Of these was that the actors in the
scene should keep their minds immovably
fixed on the hiding place of the knife. Then
Bishop would grasp the hand of one of them,
and press it against his forehead. In this
way he seems to read minds.
The first murder experiment was not a sue
cess, because Bishop insisted that Rev. Her
ford and Robert Grant, both of whom he
tried positively, did not keep their minds on
the knife. The experiment was tried again,
and this time Rev. James Freeman Clarke
murdered "A man, and the knife was hidden
in n mans pocket. Bishop dived straight into
the pocket and brought 1t up.

A bank note was produced and its number

figures. They did sol Bishop drew his hand

MIND READER BISHOP.
FINDING a PIN HIDDEN IN SOME
SHAviNGS A MILE AWAY.

A Slim, Delicate Youth who Confounds
the Scientinc-Ha Says His Feats are
Done by win Power and Concentration
of Thought.
Various events are happening recently in
the psychological realm, that seem to be up
setting preconceived notions of things. The
exploits of Washington Irving Bishop, the
mind reader, are not the least of, these.
He writes his name w. Irving Bishop. He
has performed his feats throughout Europe,
before the crowned heads" if that were any
recommendation to him, which it is not. The
car of Russia has been a deeply interested
spectator of his performances. The point of
them is this: He seems able to see through in
definite distances. quite as well blindfolded
as with his eyes open, and to read the thoughts
of those about him, and to find objects that
have been hidden, however small.
The Boston Globe says of him: A slim,
frail looking little man, with small face and
delicate limbs, stood out in tho big parlor in
the presence of the guests, and then and there
