POLO.

Meeting of the Connecticut State
 League To-Day.
 A meeting of the Connecticut State Polo league will be held at Lincoln rink this after noon to decide what cities will be represented in the league this season.
 As the base ball season draws to 8 close polo cranks begin to watch for developments. As in former winters,a league will be formed, but it's formation is still in @ crude state. It has not even been determined what cities will be represented. Boston and other places in Massachusetts would like to join the local league, but Bridgeport, New Haven and Msr- idsn will object, as they could not make enough to pay their travelling expenses unless Q big guarantee shonld be given them by the Bay State managers.
 John Smith will again guard goal for Bridgeport. Parsons, Rogers, Kirke and Beeson will also return. Abercrombis, once the star goal tend of the league, is reserved by the Bridgsports, but is quite probable that his release pill be sold to New Haven.
 Bridgeport has made overtures to the New Haven management for the release of Archie Newconb.
 Dan Shannon is mentioned as manager of the Bridgeports.

The Rr05oes of ESEWAME q Veteran
 OrEan1zaef0n-The F91no and Re-.
 Royvm of This 0lA Now Haven Or-
 ganxasion.
 The project of forming veteran organiza- ton of the New Haven Blues this year Is in fair way of being carried into effect. Acom- mittee on permanent organization with Col. O. K. Farnham in the chair met in the par lors of the company recently and this evening at the same place they meet again, when 1t is expected that large number of the former members of the company will be present. Some of New Haven's substantial citizens were once members of the company, of which the late Mayor Morris Tyler was at one time a captain. There was never military organ ization which presented finer appearance than the Blues when they were an artillery company. Captains Charles B. Doolittls and Quinn are well remembered in New Haven for the pride they took in having fine turn out of the company, and in later years Capt. Jeff Shaw. Their uniform, consisting in part of large bearskin caps and overcoats faced with red, presented the company few years ago by John Scranton, were greatly ad- mired on parade days and perhaps contrib uted somewhat to the sclat which was Q marked characteristic of the organization. Ex-Governor EnRlish, H. H. BunnaII, James G. Enelish, Richard F. Lyon, John O. Miles and many prominent business men have at one time or another been members It is ex- pected that an organization will be formed tomorrow night on similar plan with the present veteran organizations of the Grsye and Sarsdeld Guard.

Return of a VEestvllIe Boy who Mys-
 terIOusly Disappeared from Home
 He Visited New LORdOms
 Tuesday morning shortly before nine o'clock Steward F. Miller, the 12 year old son of Conductor A. F. Miller of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad, left home ostensibly on his way to school. He did not return at the accustomed time and his parents became alarmed. Where the boy had gone was mystery which interested Westville people until his return last evening put an end to all speculation on the matter. MT. Miller left no stone unturned to discover his sons whereabouts. It was surmised that he had gone to New York, whither his grandmother had returned home after visit in Westville, or is was thought that he might have strolled off in the direction of Woodbridge. His de- parture seemed planned, for pair of trows- CTS other than those he wore were also among the missing. Word was received last even. ing that the lad had returned. He had visited New London, bent on having c little lark.

BASE BALL.
Thomas Lovett COmplinaented-A Star
 Pitcher.

Thomas LOvett COmPlimsnted-As Star
 Pitcher.
 Thomas Lovett, the star pitcher of the Omaha club, is just twenty-four years old. His professional base ball career began in 1884 with the Waterbury Eastern league club, which won the championship. In 1885 he played with the Providence, R. l., league team, and later in the season with the Ath- letics of Philadelphia. In 1887 he began the season with Bridgeport, but the team dis banding he signed with the Oshkosh. He pitched twenty-five games with the latter club, losing only two. He has pitched twenty mine games for Omaha and lost only eight. In these contests he has faced some of the best batters in the country, and many au old "slugger" has gone down before his effective delivery. He pitches a wonderful ball, which combines curve and speed and is we'll calculated to deceive the best bats man. In addition to his pitching Lovett plays ball with his head, and when g game is lost it can be depended upon that he alone is not responsible. Aside from his ball play ing Lovett is gentleman in every sense of the word and is esteemed highly by all his acquaintances. He is the only married man in the team, and at present is rejoicing over the advent of bright little girl baby who will, in years to come, sit in the grandstand and watch her papa strike out the opposing team.-Omaha Herald.
 The WilkesbRrres have won 13 out of the last IS games played.
