WORLD OF SPORTS,

Hartford defeated New Haven at polo last night by the score of f to- 3.
 The Courant says the polo teams are divided into three classes. New Haven is tagging Springfield in the first, Bridge port and Meriden are tied in the second and Hartford and New Britain are tag ging each other in lower class, with beef in the latter's favor.
 James McAleer denounces the report accusing him of double dealing with the league. He asserts that he will sign with the brotherhood because he was offered more money, and he says that he violates no obligation in doing so The brotherhood pays him $2,S00, and has advanced him S7OO.
 It is stated on the most trustworthy authority that the directors of the In dianapolis club have made formal appli- cation for admission to the Interstate league, and that they will sell their league franchise and players Glasscock, Denny, Boyle, Rusie and Buckley to the highest bidder.

The Latest Scheme of Professional
 Swindler.
 J. c. Marshall of New Milford has been detected in scheme to procure dollars from the farmers of the state by other than by honest means. Some time since he sent out circulars inform ing Connecticut farmers that their inter- ests might be greatly advanced if they had a man to work for them in the markets The circulars closed by stat ing that Marshall was just the man to represent the farmers and that he would willingly do so for those who would subscribe $1 each.
 Marshall has engaged in like acts of buncoing. In 1883, as J. H. Lockwood, he sent out circulars stating that he had been made trustee of fund of S150, ,000 left by a philanthropist to assist those who had used other peoples money to make themselves good with their em- ployers. He received many replies from gullible persons who thus put them selves in his power and he made a good thing out of his idea.
 Next Marshall advertised for treas urer for the Housatonic road, the treas urer to furnish a cash bond of $1 ,OOO. He was detected in this and served two years in prison. The former scheme is his latest

surprises of Divorce.''
 MT Arthur Rehan's famous company ot comedians will appear at Jacques opera house next Wednesday and Thurs day evenings. The approach of this delightful organization is always wei come. Like breath of fresh, pure ar are their visits after the deluge of trash nowadays stamped comedy. The adap- tation of Surprises of Divorce which has had almost year of continuity as performed in Paris has proved equally acceptable in London. In its adaptation there is an amazing abundance of in genious comicality, and memory does not recall an evening of heartier or more nearly incessant laughter. At the opera house Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

Another Rumor From Boston About
 The Road.

The Road.
 A letter from Boston says: There are many rumors about the New York & New England annual election. Some say four Consolidated directors are to go on the Bostwick ticket, viz: Clark, Rob- inson, Trowbridge and Rockefeller; that traffic arrangements between the two roads are to be closer, and more rapid trains between Boston and New York that, while the Bostwick party have more than majority of the stock now ln hand. they are seeking more, the sup position being that they have some scheme to advance requiring a large vote, also that having been severely cri- ticised they want to have boiled deci- sive vote endorsing their management
 The severest criticism is visited on the traffic department, while the passenger service is spoken of as admirable. The obnoxious enforcement of the demur- rage rule is par ticularly spoken of. One of the oldest directors in time of service, residing not more than ten miles from Hartford, is reported to have told Presi- dent Bostwick that he did not want to serve longer as director in board where he had no voice in fighting the wrongs of his constituency; that every effort was being made to send freight by any other road than the New York & New England, owing to the want of discretion on the part of the traffic de- partment in the method of charging de- rnurrape

Where They Burn Water.

This burning of water is curious
thing. When went to England, many
years ago, a perfect novice in matters
relating to combustion of fuel, and saw
the firemen and engineers pouring buck
etfuls of water on their coal heaps Just
before shoveling the coal on to their
fires. / at once told them that they
were doing very foolish thing, for it
took lot of heat to drive off the water
before the coal would burn. But when
they told me that it was a matter that
did not admit of an argument, as they
had proved that they had got much hot
ter fires when they wet their coal than
when they put it on dry, was COM
pletely nonplussed, and when with my
