POLO.

New Haven, as Usual, Defeats the Vlsitors-Hartford is Defeated by the Home Team.
 Tom Cotter's big five came down from Hartford with the idea that nothing could stop him. He was going to play all around the New Haven team and would mark one victory for his team.
 The Sloopville artists started in to carry all before them, but before the ball was hit twice they found Captain Newcombe and his team always impossible and invinoible. All the good tricks they had and all their nice plays were worked for all they were worth.
 Newcombe and Wodtke kept the ball around Hartford's goal always and but for Sullivan would have been caging the goal all the while. The playing of "Hobe'' Whiting was especially good, and at three different times single-handed he blocked Hipson, Cotter and Smith, who were sur rounding him.
 Three fouls were made by the Hartfords and took off one of their goals:
 The makeup of the teams was as fol lows;

FIRE AMONG MATCHES.

The Diamond Match Factory fin Vest ville Damaged to the Extent of Five Hundred DoIlars-Fire on Orange Street.
 Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday fire broke out in the Diamond Match company's shop in Westville and before the flames were extinguished one room was complete ly gutted and damages of about five hun dred dollars were incurred. The flames broke out in what is known as the sulphur room and before the flames could be extinguished the whole interior of the room was completely ruined. It was only yesterday morning that work was resumed in this department. Every thing went along all right dur ing the morning but the girls employed in the room had hardly left for dinner when flames were seen to issue from the windows of the room. The local fire department was immediately summoned and with the aid of the fire apparatus con- nected with the shop the flames were con fined to the one room in which they had started, and after about twenty minutes hard work the fire was entirely extin- guished.
 There are various theories assigned as to the cause of the fire, but the most likely one seems to be that it was caused by spon- taneous combustion.
