THE POLO wORLD/

New Haven Wins From Bridgeport
 The Reduced Size of the Cages
 Does Not Materially Affect the
 Scores.
 New Haven defeated Bridgeport at the local rink in very exciting game of polo last evening by the score of to 9. Bridge port lost goal by fouls.
 The new rule reducing the size of the cages eighteen inches went into effect last evening for the first time but did not seem to materially reduce the score, as many of the polo enthusiasts predicted it would. Hill played at half back and was the life of the game, seemingly being everywhere at once. Hipson, who played at center, did admirably and was loudly applauded in the eleventh goal when he succeeded in passing all of the Bridgeport players and caged the ball. The stops by Reed were phenomenal and but for him the score would have been different.
 Newcombe and Woodtke also played their usual good game. Woodtke's play ing might be improved upon at times, as he is slow in returning the ball on pass and in driving for goal He is conscientious player, however, and works hard for the success of the team.
 Williams and Smith each took hand in tending goal with indifferent success, the New Ravens winning with ease.
 Menard and Reed indulged in a slugging match in the last half and each was given foul.
 Conway managed to keep up his reputa- tion and had his usual foul called on him.
 Menard and Pierce worked all the tricks they knew how, but Hill could not be fool ed, and it is doubtful if Phelan could have done better than he did last evening. The

GUILTY OF NEGLECT.

Coroner Ntx's Decision in the Case
 of Mrs. Meramble-The SeIectmen
 and others Censured.
 In his decision in the death of Mrs. Car oline Meramble, the Woodbury pauper, whose cruel experience has already been published, Coroner Mix finds theWoodbury selectmen guilty of neglect and that their conduct and that of Dr. Karram, MT. and Mrs. Warner and Harley Atwood hastened the death of Mrs. Meramble.
 The text of the decision is follows:
 I find that Caroline Meramble's death was accelerated y;lthe neglect and ornis- sion of the selectmen of the town ofWood- bury, to wit: W. 4. Strong, H. G.. Minor, 0. E. Trowbridge, togethef with Hoderick Atwood of the town of Woodbury and Harley Warner and Lucy J. Warner, his wife, of the town of Southbury, all of said omission consisting in not providing for said Caroline Meramble suitable place wherein she might be kept and such suita- ble medical attendance, warmth, food and care as should properly have been provided and to which she, was en- titled in her aged and infirm condition, too poor, friendless and feeble to care for herelf. I regard it as cruel and inhuman treatment to send her forth, covered with sores and with broken hip, upon journey of twenty miles in length in beach wagon on such 8 bitter cold day as was the day on which she was re- moved from said town of Southbury to the hospital in New Haven, and I am of the opinion and find that Dr. Henry F. Kurrman of Waterbury, in medical at tendance on the town poor of Woodbury, is also responsible, with the said select said hospital at New Haven.

DIR. DAMON,
The Cause of Wonder.


 The grand work of healing the ills of human flesh goes merrily on by the new vitapathic process. Patients in all stages of disease are taken to Dr. Damon at 92S Chapel street, and right royalty are they repaid, for rarely indeed does one come away without being relieved of his or her suffering. This is the same specialist who treated upward of 200 poor sufferers with out hope of fee or reward at the Atheneum for so many weeks. This he did that he might fully demonstrate to the people of New Haven his ability to cure after all other systems had failed.
 One visit to this remarkable specialist well versed in the healing art. No invalid should fail to secure at least an interview with Dr. Damon if they would know what their chances were for relief or cure.

William Cummings Has Many Grave
 Charges to Face.
 On the day before Christmas, Barker 6 Ransom hired man, William Cummings, to drive one of their carriages to funeral. Another man employed by the company lent Cummings a coat to wear for the occasion. Cummings did not show up after the funeral but few moments and has not been seen since until Detective Brewer found him yesterday and put him under arrest. Cummings not only pawned the coat lent him by Ellis, but collected the money due his employer for the car riage and converted it to his own use. He has also been apprehended for obtaining money under false pretenses by means of a subscription paper which he was en- gagged in circulating some time ago for the purpose, as he stated, of obtaining money for sick niece.

The Oratorio of the Redemption.

The interest in the forthcoming produc- tion of Gounod's "Redemption' is rapidly increasing. All of the prominent local musicians have expressed their pleasure in letters to the committee, and considerable substantial aid has been promised as well. One we'll known teacher wrote that he was thoroughly interested in educating the people in oratorio music, and that although not wealthy man, he would be pleased to guarantee $50 toward the expenses if needed. This generous offer is thoroughly appreciated by the society. 1t would be highly desirable if more voluntary contri- buttons of this kind were to be made.
 This is the first step toward establishing 8 permanent organization for the purpose of producing larger works. If successful, it is hoped that enough interest may be reused in the matter another season to start festival organization here on the plan of the one in Worcester, which has made such phenomenal, artistic and fnan-- cial progress.
 The importance of this move should be fully appreciated and encouraged by New Haveners.
 The first rehearsal will occur on Thurs day of this week at o'clock, in United church chapel. It is highly desirable that every member should be present.
