Owned by Hartford and Sustained by
 Home Management.
 The New Haven Register deprecates the impossibility to get polo players for the New Haven team without paying exorbi- tant prices. It says that the managers of other teams want almost as much for few months use of man they do to sell him outright. "At the end of the season, y it says, ''the Hartford management will have to release number of its men for, by one of the laws of the league, team can only reserve eight players from one season to the next. H I'd new has seven men playing on the nome team De- sides owning the five who are in Water bury and one in the Bridgeport team. These men make total of thirteen, five of whom the Hartford management will be compelled to discharge at tine end of this season. This will, of course, place @. num- Der of good men on the market, but it is probable that Waterbury will make ar engagements previous to that time by which to secure the five now playing there. All though these six men are owned by Hart ford, their salaries are paid by the man agement for which they play"

THE CONTINENTAL LIFE
Hearing on the Possession of Securities
 Held by the State Treasurer.

Hearing on the Possession of Securities
 Held by the State Treasurer.
 In the supreme court of errors at Hart ford yesterday arguments were heard in the amicable suit of Lorrin 4. Cooke and John K. Buck, receivers of the Continent al Life Insurance company, against Alex ander Warner, treasurer of the state, trus- tee, etc. The case is brought to decide the question of the right of possession of secur- ities amounting to $1OO,0O0, held by the treasurer of the state as trustee for the policy holders. On assuming office Jan uary 6, 1887, Treasurer Warner received from his predecessor in office and now holds as trustee by succession certain se- curities. In March, 1857, the treasurer is- sued certificates under seal at the request of the insurance company, stating that there had been deposited with him or his predecessors, and that he then held in trust for the property holders, under the provis- ions of said statute, the following securi- ties: Note and mortgage of the Sharps Rifle company for the sum of S62 ,500; note and mortgage of H. P. Barton for the sum of $15, ,OOO; and Connecticut state bonds to the amount of $50, ,OOO, which certificates were sent to those other states where the company was then transacting business and which required the same. The notes of the Sharps Rife company and of Henry P. Barton are payable to the order of saio company and are not endorsed
 Connecticut state bonds are registered in the name of the insurance company. Dur ing the summer of 1887 Warner discov- cred that the notes had never been en- dorsed over to the trustee and requested the officers of the insurance company to make such endorsement, which they stated they would soon do, but never did. Or. the Connecticut state bonds there became due on the 1st day of January, 1888, in- terest to the amount of $525, which had not yet been paid to any one. On the 2d of December, 1887, Insurance Commission CT Fyler brought an application under the provisions of the statute, and Lorrin A. Cooke and John R. Buck were appointed receivers of the company and it's charter was annulled.
 In January, 1888, the receivers made a demand on the treasurer for the delivery of the securities, but he declined to sur render them. The decree of the court or dered the receivers to take possession of all the property of the company, and to self or dispose of the real estate and to ex- ecute all necessary and proper convey ances under the direction of the court
 This deposit is not required by the laws of Connecticut, but other states require it be- fore company can do business within their borders. The question to be settled IS whether the order of the court covers these securities, as the laws of the state do lot provide for returning of the securities n Case of insolvency. MT Buck appeared TOT the receivers and Charles E. Gross for ,he treasurer.

PAINTERS ORGANIZING.
They Take Steps to Form a Branch Of th
 National Association.

National Association.
 A meeting of master house painters and decorators was held in Hartford yesterday. Temporary organization was effected by the election of William H. Barry, of Bridgeport, as chairman, and Mir. Butler, of Meriden. secretary. Twenty five em- blowing painters were present. The object of the meeting was to form state organi- zation as branch of the national associa- tion Though there has as yet been no or ganization of permanent character in Connecticut, there is an executive commit tee for the state appointed by the national organization. The following paper has been generally signed by the boss painters:
 'sWe, the undersigned master house painters and decorators in the state of Connecticut, desire to affiliate with the master house painters and decorators as- sociation of the United States, do hereby subscribe for the formation of state as- sociation to be known as The Master House Painters and Decorators association of the state of Connecticut.

New Haven and Hartford Out and Little
 Hope of Meriden and Bridgeport,

Hope Of Meflden and Bridgeport,
 A meeting will be held in Bridgeport to- morrow for the purpose of forming, if pos slble, state league. New Haven and Hartford are out of base ball, and will have nothing to do with it this season Waterbury will send delegates to to-mor- rows meeting, and Merlden will do like wise. There Is, however, little hope that Bridgeport will do anything toward state league. The Meriden Journal says that the Resolutes will not join the proposed state amateur league if more than two games per week are scheduled, as they cannot devote all their time to base ball They are in favor of league, each club in which shall play two games week. They will go into the field with very strong nine. Captain Malloy has young left handed pitcher named Ryan, who gives promises to do great work. He will play this year. The Journal thinks, the chances TOT an excursion over the Meriden and Wa terbury road to a Fast Day game in Water bury are slim, as the railroad people will not carry passengers until the road is ac- cepted by the commissioners, and that will not, in all probability, be until long after March 30.
 It now looks as if Waterbury is the only city that will enter into the base ball sport this season. Ansonia, Danbury and Nor walk may be induced to enter state league, but league made up of these towns would be no league at all, and is bound to be a fzzle as far as the Brass city ! IS concerned. From New Britain is heard | the old story. Nobody in that enterpris- ing city wants to risk the money. A base oall man in that place is quoted as saying "rhe T. A. R. society and the 'Maroons' will have their teams in the field, but other han this the fever will probably not ma terialize. The press will, as it always has, support base ball interests when there are any to support, but newspaper support alone won't furnish players and provide a ground. A winning nine could live here, out New Britain is weary of playing sec ond fiddle to any other city"

POLO ON THE URF.
A New Haven Mans Suggestion Concern


 One of the stockholders of the New Ha- ven base ball association talking over the funeral pile of base ball in that city sug- gested to a New Haven Register reporter that it would be feasible to conduct a polo campaign at Hamilton park this summer. He would build up sort of wainscot three or four feet high around polo course, and then arrange circular tiers of seats so that the spectators could witness the game: The players would play on the ground and wear base ball shoes. Such an enterprise, in his opinion, would prove great suc- cess. But this enthusiast on polo in sum- mer, says the Register, was not seconded in his proposition by any of his associates. He was told that polo was winter game really the only great winter game that was furnished for the public. To relegate it to the summer would not do, and it was not practicable to play polo on foot. Then the base ball stockholders disbanded and wended their several ways.

Coming to Waterbury With His Orches-

 The great Charles l.. Davis will be at the opera house to morrow evening with his famous solo orchestra and S100, ,000 worth of diamonds. Of the show the San An tonic Times says: "The best compliment that can be paid this troupeis is to state that notwithstanding there is scarcely 8 theatre goer in San Antonio who has not seen the play at least four or five times, yet MT Davis always draws big house. Apart from MT Davis inimitable performance, a rare treat was afforded the audience by the liberal feast of music between the falls of the acts by the company's fine band. The cornet solos were exceedingly fine, and every execution of a piece provoked thun- ders of applause and renewed encores."
