 An enthusiastic crowd of spectators wit messed one of the most exciting polo games of the season at the rink last.evening It was the last game i'll this city between the old Hartfords and the new Hartfords and each team did it's level best to win, de veloping some of the finest polo playing ever seen in this city. The driving was effective as is shown blythe large number of goals played and the passing was remark ably good Neither team was outplayed by the other, but by fortuitous train of circumstances the visitors won. The changing of the positions of Conway and Shea convinced everybody that the former belongs at center where he can get into the fight on the floor. Williams is developing into a goal tender.

BLOOD AND THUNDER LITERATURE

A Local Newsdealer's Opin ion of Its Elf
 feet upon Boys.
 It is roughly estimated that over 100 novels of the blood and thunder kind are purchased and read by the youths of this city every week. In speaking of the sale membered that during the blizzard last week both old and yoang i1iduged in that sort of reading and that his stock of goods was almost exhausted ''As these youths grow up," he said, ''they change from such reading to the works of some standard au- thor. In some cases the habit of reading these novels cling to the party until they have passed their majority Others are too sensitive to purchase them and send some young boy to do the buying. The girls, they take to the society novels or standard magazines

THANKSGIVING DEPARTURE,
A Suggestion From the State Su-
perintendent ofSchools.

School Superintendent Coleman
has issued a circular suggesting
that on Thanksgiving Day, Nov.
20, each school of the city that
feels so inclined arrange for a ''do-
nation party for the benefit of
poor children to enable them TO at
tend school, by the contribution of
text books and school supplies,
shoes and clothing, provisions and
good literature, and says that teach
ers and children should take hold
of the matter and pull it through,
SO that poor children may have
cause to be thankful on t"Thanks-
giving Day." Mr.. Coleman sug-
gests that the teacher of each room
or a committee of three take charge
of and conduct the proceedings. II
is a good cause, says Mr.. Coleman,
and should have a ready response.
