Hard Drives and Pokes. {.

The polo season ends in three weeks.
 Hartford won't get second place this season. Smother season. Other games tonight: Bridgeport at Hartford and Springfield at Meriden.
 Hallett has proved by his playing that he is not quite as rusty as some people think. did at ha,fback. He was success as a center last season.
 New Britain seems to be able to win only two the last six weeks It looks at present as though Meriden and the local team will have 1t nip and tuck during the bal ance of the season for fourth place. Mckay will rush New Britain tonight and Doe place is in the defense, not in the rush line.
 Cotter's hot temper is costing him considerable against him on Thursday night for hitting Cornell.
 Roberts work of late has inferior to that of and driving the bali better than he has before this season.
 The Meriden cranks have been aereeably sur games and of them their first victory in Bridge port this season.
 The Scientists will play their last game of the e % Wn make 1t victory.
 The cranks in Bridgeport think that Williams fast that you do slide gracefully from your present position, for Springfield is playing game almost equal to the one they played in 'S6 and 'S7.
 New Britain is good polo town. but 1t won't be team. The cranks would like to sec the team owned by New Britain people and let Clarke attend to his hotel business more thoroughly.
 The New Britain Herald seems to think that there will be lots of new blood in the polo clubs next year, the old men getting too slow. There is great need of more polo players, but It will take some time to develop players who will be faster than those who are now playing at present.
 A. tl,a trlr ,,, xv,ll t, teur game between the Favorites and the Hillhouse high school teams. These youngsters have been talking of the game for some time and each is, in the opinion of the players on 1t, better than the other. There will be plenty ef fun and only small admission will be charged
 The artists from Springfield will cross sticks with the local team in the rink Monday night.

A NIP AND TUCK GAME

Hartford Polo Players Pressily De.
 feated By the Local Artlsts Last
 NJght-Flno Team WOrk-Mer1den
 Beaten-sportin9 Gossip.
 The local team landed high and dry once more in fourth place by defeating the Kan- garoos from Hartford last night at the rink by score of to 1. It was not very sci- entiic game, but there was hustling enough to set the average polo fend nearly crazy. It was nip and tuck during the first hall, but from then on Hartford was not in 1t. AL though tho visitors worked hard, they were not able to keep the pace set by the home team. The rushers did not try to poke the ball in, but after a pass or two 1t was bif, bang and the goaltender either had stop or it was behind him in the cage. Hill and Neweombe did great work. and their driving could not be surpassed. Archie's old left was in prime condition and 1t did great ex. ecution. Billys back hand drives were dan- dies, and he surprised the eranks by the life he put into his work. But .'Tow Head" Cooke is the man who did the playing last night for New Haven. He was e cool as an iceberg and would get up in front of Cot- ter and stop his drives as though they were nothing but pieces of paper being carried along by the wind. He was very quick and blocked in great style. During the eighth goal he did some very pretty work and re- ceived for # great applause. Phelan kept out Cotter's cannon ball drives in proper shape. For the visitors Cotter and Sword did the best work. .'Long Tom" pasted the ball as he only can, and Sword made phenomenal stops of Newcombe's lightning shoots. O'Maley refereed in his usual impartial way and distributed the fouls where they belonged. Six were called, two on Sword, one for getting down in the goal circle, which cost Hartford goal, one on Sealey, two on Cooke, one on Phelan. New Haven also lost goal by fouls.
 The first goal was made by a pretty play by Hill and Newcombe. Hill rushed the ball up. slanked" it bylHannaford to Archie, who put it in to stay. The second was made in the same manner, only Cooke did the
 'lank" act. Phelan gave Hartford goal here by making an unfortunate slip up and letting Cotter have the ball in front of the cage, and Tom put it in in short order. Sul- livan made the pext by driving it in from center by line shot. Newcombe made the
 fifth by driving it in after Hill had given Sword stop. The sixth was made by Hill. There was scramble in front of the Hart ford cage and Billy poked the ball away and drove it in. Hill also made the next by rushing the ball up the rink and caging it by one of his gilt edge drives. Newcombe captured the eighth quite easily. He got the ball by Hannaford at center and having everything to himself he went up and pasted the ball in so hard that it came out, but he drove it back in again for keeps. Hill made the ninth quite neatly. Newcombe drove the ball and as it came along the floor to him he jumped it over his stick into the cage. Archie made the last by hard drive from the side. The score:

NEW HAVEN uAsA ssAsIpE PARK.


 4 Grana ssaside Park site sscursd- One Hundred Acres Purchased In tho Annex-ls Includes the ssPalisades,s CT BluG OvsrlookinE she Harbor- Hncludes she ola Salspetre Works ana Adjacent Lands and Uncle Sam VIII Allow tho Use of the ola Fort Hale Property.
 New Haven has added another magnificent park site to its list of parks. The park com- nissioners have been, ,as the public are aware, very busy in the prosecution of their labors for some time past and. have looked at vari- ous sites with view to best serving the pub- lic and to the best investment of the funds instrusted to their care for the purchase of sitss for parks. Ono of the most important and desirable sites for grand seaside park has been secured. The details are not all anishsd, but the property is practically se- cured. The purchase consists of about 100 acres in the Annex, near Morris Cove, east of the .harbor. It includes the fine bold rock or bluff overlooking the harbor, called by many "The Palisades." The bluff is from forty to fifty feet high, and its harbor face Is steep and precipitous. The purchase also includes the site of the old saltpetre works and adjacent property, in all about 100 acres. A tract which 10 government property where old Fort Hale stood is included in the new park by consent of the government, without . cent of cost to New Haven. This tract of government land embraces from fifteen to twenty acres, adjoining the old fort proper ty. It will be held for park purposes subs ject to the demand of Uncle Sam should he ever want 1t again. A portion of 1t is marshy, but this can easily be flooded 20 as to make g fine lake, and the tract will furnish the pub. lio about half mile of splendid beach for bathing or other purposes available at all times of the year, and forming with the ad. joining uplands and bluffs one of the most beautiful suburban resorts in the country. | The saltpetre works land and the other prop. erty were bought of w. J. Atwater of the board of public works, Major Fl. H. Strong, ex-Police Commissioner F. J. Hart, MT. Forbes of the Forbes house, and other we'll | known gentlemen.

MEMS FURNISHINGS.

We could find nothing ready made good enough to meet our idea of what a 25c Scarf should be, SO we chose our material and had made to order line of neck wear of the 'Teck" style, same material as the 45c quality, but a little less of it, though unlike the usual 25c goods. The aprons of our Scarfs are cut full and not pieced out, the shields are tucked, and in every way they are supe- rior to what you have right to expect for 25c.
 Right by the Chapel street door you'll find one hundred and eighty dozen of TIecker's Half Hose. Hecker, you must know, is one of the foremost manufacturers of Germany. The Hose are of the full fashioned, regular made kind, the best and were imported to sell for 25c pair. The inn rterneeded ready money. "Take them at half price" he said.

o'oorrELL,s FLOOR EXAMINED.

Enc Police CommisslOners Vislt His
 saloon and Look at she New Hoard
 which 1s Said to Cover the Hole
 Where His Beer Pipe Ran.
 Two or three heads were inserted through every window within sight of O'Connell's saloon at No. 227 Chapel street about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon as the four car- rlages containing the board of police com- missioners, representatives of the press and few others interested in the charges of per4 jury brought by Michael O'Connell against Officers Dennehy and Roach for testifying that beer pipe ran through a board in his floor, from which he was accustomedto draw beer on Sundays. Asthe gentlemen crowded themselves into the small rear rooms of the house their ears were edified by the continu- ous racket of piano in some of the rooms adjoining. They took up the carpet end re. moved all of the furniture from the small room adjoining the bar room, into which the officers had said the beer pipe entered. Chief Bollman pounded the floor with his umbrella to loosen the dust in the cracks. The gentlemen gathered around and were very quickly convinced that a new board had been inserted into the floor. Anyone could distinguish the difference with but a casual inspection. Plumber W. H. Mcdonald pointed out where he had taken out the old board and had arranged the floor so that one board could be removed and the beer pipe drawn up through the hole. The commis- sioners went down to the cellar and found several marks and nails which led them to think that this part of the building had undergone disturbance of some kind of late. Mr. Mcdonald pointed out the nails and holes where he had fastened the cleat to support the pipe. This cleat had been pryed off in the meantime. It was stated that the new board could be easily knocked out of the floor by hammer, but Mir. O'Connell unfortunately did not have one in his house. While Officer Dennehy was telling how O'Connell had covered up the traces of his beer pipe, O'Connell interrupted him by in. forming him that he was Ca professional liar"
 The board of commissioners held short executive session in the little room adjoining the barroom after they had thoroughly ex' amined the place. It was their opinion that Mir. McDonald's statement could not be re futed and that the presence of the new boart in the floor could not be denied. They will hold a meeting next Tuesday night to finish

Practical Co.operasion.

The New Haven Cooperative Savings Fund and Loan association was chartered and commenced business in 1881. It receives deposits each month and loans the money SO received to members of the association who wish to buy or build houses. The members making the deposits are benefited by the inc terest received on their monthly savings and the borrowers have the privilege of making a payment on the principal each month, thereby reducing the mortgage debt while enjoying the use of the property. This prac- tioal cooperation has been the means of building hundreds of houses in and near Philadelphia and placing the owners beyond the reach of want.
 Shears for the year 1890 have just been issued by the New Haven association and next Monday evening meeting will be held in Phoenix building, when subserip iptions will be received and information given,
