WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Hartford Amusement company held meeting last night to decide the fate of polo in Hartford. A report was made that the First regiment armory could not be secured. A proposition was advanced by certain directors for the erection of a building to cost S15, ,000 or $20,00O to be completed within the next sixty days. This proposition was antagonized by some of the stockholders who felt that it would be better to distribute the &, 300 now in the treasury. It was voted to give the direc- tors power to go ahead and do what they deem best. This gives favorable look to polo matters in Hartford and really means that new rink will be built.
