Polo N0tes of Interest.
 Meriden at Springfield tonight.
 Watch Nswcombe's old left tonight.
 The "Kangaroos'' lead the champions in the series between the two clubs. si s7
 Other games tomorrow night: Bridgepert at Hartford and Springfield at Meriden.g <,
 Hartford and New Haven have both won the same number of games out of town. Each have won nine. e~
 Hartford and Springfield have both won more games ont of the last twenty-five played than the champions have.
 Springfield has not won but one game in Hartford this season and that happy event took place on last Saturday night.
 The Meriden Journal is giving good polo news to the cranks in that city. It is by far the best polo medium in the Silver City.
 It was sad blow to the cranks in Hartford when their polo team dropped three straight games to their brethren from up the river.
 Don't forget the game at the rink tonight with the Ksngaroos. It will be hummer and should be well attended by the cranks.
 Springfield will have to win eleven out of the sixteen games they have yet to play in order to take the lead if Bridgeport wins all of the home games.
 As the COURIER said that story about Pierce leaving the Bridgeport team was . fake. There is not one bit of truth in it as the players staked it themselves as joke.
 Manager Harris is to have benefit game March 31. Hartford will be the opposing club, and prize of $50 will go to the win- ming team. Wonder if our local manage ment wants something of this kind.
 The polo season is fast drawing to 8 close and soon will the bang of the polo stick and the screech of the fiend. be hushed. Only os,n ko 11a ,,l. l., the local rink and too soon will the polo rink be closed and deserted.
 Hannaford does not seem to be a success. One Hartford paper says he moves as lively as an iceberg in shallow water. Rather hard on ''Spike," but he can stand 1t, for he never seems to get anything but abuse, no matter what kind of game he plays.
 Hartford has made nearly as much money as any other two teams in the league this season. There is no need of having any further trouble with the First regiment peo- pie as the management can build 6 rink for next season just as we'll as not.
 Canavan and Murry have quite an advsn- tage over the other polo players as far as ems cred about getting polo, for just as soon as the polo season closes they, pack their grips and skip for the base ball diamond. Here we have 1t again. Look at it, you | who have the honor of representing the polo team of the City of Films and let 1t rouse you | to Q noble victory. Does it not sound nicel Saturday night the ''ladies' favorites." the New Havens, will be here.-New Britain Herald. New Britain is at tho bottom of the heap and will no doubt finish the season in their present position. It is hard on those cranka | in New Britain, but the friends in Meriden | do not think SO. Rejoice all ye knights of ! the shinny who abide in the Silver City, for those who were terrors in days of yore will soon be no moro.
 The injustice to Bridgeport of those extra | games arranged by the Springfield manage
 ment may be seen at glance. They are all played in Springded and are with clubs that | find 1t the hardest to win in that city. Al the end of the season Springfield will have | played six more games than Bridgeport Bridgeport Post.
 | The local team will play New Britain to. morrow night and the Woodohoppers will
 have to keep their eyes peeled in order to es. 1 cape defeat, for the Scientists are out for
 fourth place, perhaps fifth also, and they are l going for that game red hot. It will be the
 last game that New Haven will play in New
 Britain, and ths players of the local team
 have made up their minds to make victory | or die in the attempt.
