I have no more time to write advertise ments of holiday goods, nor is it necessary. Everybody knows where Cutters Art Store is Everybody knows it contains the most va ried and choice stock of photographs, etch- ings, engravings, bric a-brac in china, glass, porcelain, brass and other desirable wares. Everybody knows that the stock this year is more attractive and more attractively dis. played than ever before. Therefore, I sim ply wish to extend cordial invitation to all to come and see my stock, with the assur- ance that no one will be importuned to buy, that every effort within the power of myself and my clerks will be made to wait upon my visitors, and that any failure will be simply because the demand has thus far exceeded my expectations.

NEW HAVEN VICTORIOUS.

Defeating Hartford by Score of to 4. A polo game between New Haven and Hartford always draws & large house and that of last night was no exception to the rule. Every seat in the rink was occupied and hundreds stood up about the sides and ends of the rink. There were many ladies present and they seemed to take as much
 interest in the game as did their male escorts.
 The teams appeared on the floor shortly after nine o'clock and soon the shrill whistle of Referee Daniels sent the men after the ball.
 Williams of Hartford secured the rush, but Cunning of New Haven immediately got the ball and by good drive caged it. When the referee announced. the time to be ten seconds the audience cheered for fully three minutes. The home team played . magni6- cent game, passing and running well, and succeeding in making three more goals before Hartford scored. Dunning and Connors fought hard for the home team and were loudly applauded. The first inning closed with New Haven four goals to Hartford one. In she second inning Hartford played better game, making three goals to New Haven's one. The following is the summary of the

THE LEAGUE AND THE REGISTER.
A FaIsehood Refuted and The Regis
 Ha. Ra6nsAs fo A dlaait Ifs Ezrrar

A Fa1sehood Refuted and The Regis-
 ter Refuses to Admit It's Error.
 The following letter was delivered to the editor of the Register at twenty minutes after
 two o'clock on Wednesday, December 22d,
 1886, by one of the gentlemen who signed it: NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec. 22, 1886. To the Editor of the Register:
 The article in the Register of December 21 regarding the election at the Republican League club is incorrect in almost every par | ticular. Last year rule was adopted unan- imously that no person whose term expired upon the executive committee should be eli | gible for reelection. This rule was adopted to bring new men into the committee every l year. MT. Lynde Harrison told two of the undersigned that the same rule should be adhered to this year and at all times. The l nominating committee this year were Messrs
 Graves, Martin, Lawrence, Hoyt and Ora
 dent, Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr.,
 and they selected, after a confer
 ence, the gentlemen who were appointed. Not
 one word was said against the reappointment
 of either Messrs Harrison, Fox, Hart or l Greeley, and if it had not been for the rule
 referred to there is no doubt all the gentle l men would have been reaPpointed if they l would have consented to serve. There are no cliques in the Republican league and | there is no Harrison party or anti-Harrison party tnore. The league IS the most uour- ishing club in New Haven and will continue
 as heretofore to prosper in spite of opposition | or interpretations of it's political foes. c. E. GRAVES,
 GEORGE B. MARTIN, EDWARD LAWRENCE, | JAMES GRAHAM, N. H. HoYT, JR. This letter utterly refuted the spiteful at
 tack made by the Register of Wednesday up
 on the Republican league, charging dissen-
 sions in that club and making feeble but malicious attack on some of it's leading mem
 bers. The editor, ex Colonel Norris G. Os-
 born, told the gentleman who handed it to him that it was too late for publication or
 correction on that day, Wednesday. This statement was accepted for truth and the gentleman went away believing the assurance | of the editor that he would make a square correction in his paper of Thursday. The
 committee concluded to give the editor 8
 chance to keep his word, and waited for the paper of Thursday to be issued, and when they found they had been deceived they
 then made the letter public. It speaks for l itself, and indicates what is freely asserted | on the streets, that the Registers attack is
 caused by jealousy of the club and it's mem | bers.
