A Notable FuneraI-The Burial of Cap-
 tain Farren YesIerday-NOtes.
 A large number of sympathizing friends and relatives crowded the residence of the late Captain William Farren yesterday after noon to pay their last sad tribute of respect to the memory of one who had long been one
 of Fair Ravens most prominent and general ly respected citizens. The large residence on Center street, few doors south of the Second church, was crowded at two o'clock, the time the services were held, and among the num-
 Der were many prominent citizens of Balt1-
 more who had been life long friends and asso-
 ciates of the deceased. The floral offerings were many, appropriate and handsome. Rev. Erastus Blakes1ee of Spencer, Mass, but until recently pastor of the Second church to which, Captain Farren belonged, oficiated at the ceremonies. He spoke in words well chosen and with much feeling of the many good qualities of l the deceased which had rendered him dear to his many friends and acquaintances. The
 bearers were all lifeslong friends of the 1 deceased and were: Messrs.. A. L. Chamber. l lain, Henry R. Smith, Charles W. fleming 1 way, George Mallory, Horace H. H.Strong and Herbert Barnes. There was no floral display 1 owing to the wishes of the deceased, only z 1 few vases of heliotropes and lilies of the val 1 ley, about the room. The casket was drapee l with smilax and ivy leaves entwined and 1 pair of royal palms, crossed, lay upon it. Tn intermsnt was in the family plot in the Far

Polo.

The Bridgeports played good game of polo last night in their own rink and after an exciting contest defeated the New Ravens, 8 to 6.
 The Hartfords and the Waterburys played in Hartford last night. The Hartfords were victorious, 9 to 5.
 Watson has reported for duty. He will play center.
 The game between the Meridens and Hart lords Tuesday night was probably the rough est played this season. James H. Kelly ref creed, and the players of both teams found out that he means business, and when he umpires they will not indulge in rough work and have no fouls called, as has been the case in nearly every game this season. Thir- teen fouls were called, the greatest number made in any game so far this season. Eight were on Meriden and five on Hartford.
 Although the Meridens were defeated here Monday yet both Meriden papers speak in glowing terms of the refereeing of James Kelly. The Journal says he efills @ long felt want on the referee list"

 ENNIS, Tex, Jan. 1S.-Seven persons were drowned to day in Sand Lake, ten miles east of here. Two young ladies, daughters of William Williams, farmer, and a young man named Babbitt were skating on the lake when the ice gave way and they sank in four and half feet of water. Miss Babbitt and two little girls eight and fourteen years old, also daughters of William Williams, who were on shore watching the sport, were drowned in attempting to rescue their friends. A brother of the Williams girls ran to the scene from the house a quar- ter of mile distant and was also drowned while trying to save his sisters. Mrs. Will Hams, his mother, made an effort to save them all. She was pulled down and would have met the fate of her children but for the timely aid of her two little daughters, aged ten aud twelve, who threw her a rope and succeeded in pulling her ashore.

Entertainnents.

No readings given in this city during the past few years have been more thoroughly enjoyed than were those from the writings of Charles Dickens by his son at the New Haven Opera House last evening. There was not a large audience, but it was an appreciative one, and was chiefly composed of the readers and lovers of the works of the great novelist. The selections read were taken from the au- thor's favorite novel "David Copperfeld" and a single chapter from the Pickwick papers, in which is described Bob Sawyer's party. It was the first appearance of MT. Dickens before New Haven audience, but he soon made himself perfectly at home and as he retold the story of Fflittle Emily" and her friends he showed such per feet appreciation of the mingled pathos and humor of what he was reading that at the end of each of the five chapters he was inter,- rupted by applause. If there were any pres ent who had not read David Copperfeld'' they will be sure to do 50 now. Those who were familiar with this great novel went away with renewed and lasting impressions of the greatness of it's author and the clever ness of his son.
