THE POLO WORLD.

New Haven Wins From Bridgeport.
 The game at the rink last evening be- tween the home team and the Bridgeports was rather dull and uninteresting for the first half, but after the intermission both teams seemed to awake from their lethsrgy and the game was hustling one from that time to the close. Smith was presented with very handsome clock by the mem bers of the New Haven team at the com mencement of the second half. Conway deliberately pulled the ball out of the cage after it had been driven in by Newcombe. and was fined s5 for 30 doing. In accord ance with the rules of the game this act of Conway's took one goal away from the Bridgeports and added one to the score oi the home team. Smith and Reed each put up fine game at goal, many of their stops
 being little short of phenomenal.

THE MAN OF SORROW,

A Curious Memento Exhibited Last
 Evening.
 Mrs. E. J. Bacon of New York lectured in the Sunday school rooms of the First M E. church last evening before goodly sized audience. Her talk was chiefly de- scriptive of the Oberammergau Passion Play and was highly vivid and interesting She also exhibited small fragment of red limestone which she picked up as me- mento of the place on the summit of the Kofelspitze, mountain overhanging the village of Oberammergau. This pebble she keeps in an ebony case under glass and when viewed from certain angle shows the appearance of a human face in deep sorrow. The likeness is marvellous and has excited much wonder throughout the country. The most peculiar incident con- nected with it's history is the fact that Mrs. Bacon had it for eight years before discovering the likeness, and then only by the barest accident. She calls it ''The Man of Sorrow"
