ANOTHER RAPID POLO GAME.
The First In the State Series Won by
Providence.

The First In the State Series Won by
Providence.
The first OF the series of polo games
between the Providence and Pawtucket
teams for the championship of the state
was played in Infantry Hall last evening
and resulted In victory for the former
team. The game was a beautiful exhibit
tion OF scientific passing and altogether
was one OF the fastest ever seen in the
hall. Goals ere numerous and had it
not been for peculiar kind OF luck. the
Providence team would have had three
more.go to their credit and Pawtucket
one more. the ball going fairly into the
cage and bounding out again.
The game started with bang and with
Providence driving at Pawtucket's goal
repeatedly without success. Menard took
the ball out OF the scramble and drove it
into McCarthy's cage almost before the
players knew where the ball was Paw
tucket seemed to have all the luck. for In
about twelve minutes they had the Provi-
dence team apparently beaten with the
score to !. This did not dishearten the
Grays in the least, for they started in aud
within five minutes tied the score amid
the excited yelis OF the crowd. Paw
tucket got one more aud Providence tied
again when there were but three seconds
left of the first half
La the second half the Pawtuckets
were outplayed from the start, Provi-
dence piling up the goals aud giving
Pawtucket very few opportunities TO
drive. In fact had it-not been for the
wonderful goal work of Curley the score
would have be.n overwhelming. Provi-
Gence got five and Pawtucket two goals
in this half. and both teams won praise
for their pretty work at times. Proyi
dence did not play much on the defeu-
sive, but seemed to delight in giving
Curley big record for stops. Dumpy"

received its merited applause. Leydoo

Round Battle.
New ORLEANS, March s.--Mike DAILY Of
Bangor, Me-, made game fight last night
before the Crescent Athletic club against
Austin Gibbons of Paterson, N. j., but
was beaten In 81 rounds. The Paterson
lad had the advantages OF youth and q
longer reach, and although atrifie superior
In science DAILY could not withstand the
fierce rushes of his opponent.
1t was fierce fight, with the exception
Of few rounds toward the close, when
both were disposed to spar for wind. From
start to finish both men were inclined to
fight foul, the Maine man being the es-
pecial offender In this respect, and the
referee had 70 warn him several times
against using his knees on Gibbons body.
Several times during the fight DAILY was
groggy and was saved by the ringing Of
the gong The terrific punching he re-
ceived speaks volumes for his good condi-
ton.
Gibbons seemed disposed to take his
time all through the battle. and on several
occasions refrained from following. up his
advantage when 1t looked as though vic
tory was within his grasp The specta-
tors again and again cheered the Bangor
boy for his gameness.
The men fought for purse of $500, and
$500 people saw the battle. Gibbons was
the favorite In the betting
Before the Gibbons-D DAILY fight there was
a preliminary bout of four rounds between
Sol Smith of California and Owen Harney
of New Orleans. Smith got the decision.
He is matched to fight George Dixon for
$25O0 side. From his performances last
evening the crowd was not convinced that
he was in the colored lads class.

A Pomona Young Man and His Railroad
Ttcket.

A Pomona Young Man and His Railroad
Ticket.
An amusing incident occurred the
other day on the Santa Fe railroad, says
the Pomona Progress. The west bound
express, in charge of Jake Westfall, had
pulled out of Pomona, and as the con-
ductor passed through the train he
found among the passengers who had
boarded it at the last stopping place
young man respectfully dressed and ap-
pearing to be possessed of ordinary in
telligence, but whose actions indicated
that his experience in railroad travel
had been very limited. As the conduc-
tor halter for the young mans fare the
latter handed up q ticket good for pass
age from Pomona to Azusa, and with it
q Gvu-oont ,pieee. Tls- -es-saoetos, half
Suspicious that practical joke was
about to be sprung, looked at the young
man and asked:
"What is this money for ?''
81 see," said the passenger, in sober
earnestness, sit says ON the ticked, Not
good unless stamped and as / do not
happen to have stamp with me l give
you the five cents and you can put
it on"
The young mans manner convinced
Mr.. Westfall that the passenger was not
joking, so the good-natured conductor,
with no sign of merriment, handed back
the coin, remarking that it was small
matter and he would fix it all right.

MUSCULAR KINCH.

A Santa Fe Conductor Who Stands No
Nonsense,
Conductor Kinch, of the local passen-
ger train between Santa Ana and Los
Angeles, came Juggling tall man into
the smoking car yesterday afternoon,
not long after the train left Anaheim
towards Los Angeles, and deposited him
very unceremoniously in seat. Then
he asked him for the balance of his fare
to the city. There was some little par
ley, in which the man dug up dollar
and received 95 cents in change, when
the conductor gave him train receipt
and passed on. The man was very much
excited, and told several parties that the
conductors action was an outrage.
Upon being asked what the trouble was,
Conductor Kinch said that the passen-
ger, whose name was not learned, had
got on the train at Santa Ana with q
ticket to Riverside. He should have
changed cars at Orange, but continued
on the train, and was told that he could
get off at Anaheim and take the next
train back. He did not get off at Ana
helm, and when the conductor went to
collect his fare, INDUCED in some pleas
antries about riding to Los Angeles free.
Mr.. Kinch said the man had been
drinking and became abusive; 80 much
so as to disturb the ladies in the car.
He parleyed with him for thirteen miles
and finally told him he must pay the
fare from Orange to Los Angeles, $l.05.
Finally the passenger pulled out a dol
lar, and showing it at the conductor,
told him to stake it and go to h--l."
He refused to pay the remaining 5
cents, when the muscular young con-
ductor shouldered him and carried him, !
kicking and struggling, out of the ladies'
car into the smoking car, where he col
lected the nickel in the manner de-
Bcribed. The passenger vowed ven
geance and to get even with Conductor
Kinch. He claims he had the money in
his hand to pay him when he was trans
ferred to the smoker.

At Christ,s Church.

There was the usually large attend
ance at Christ's church yesterday morn
ing. The choir is one of the features of
the service, and some excellent music is
rendered. The rector, Rev. Mr.. A. S.
Clarke, delivered the sermon with more
than accustomed excellence. DR.. Lef-
fingwell, principal of st. Mary and st.
Adams school at Knoxville, ILL.,, and
editor of the Leading Church, the prin-
cipal Episcopal church paper of the
west, was present and assisted Mr..
Clarke in the services. The text of the
sermon was taken from Psalm tx :12: :
"Open Thou mine eyes that may behold
wondrous things out of Thy law"
The vision of faith is blessed reality.
As much 30 as is the miraculous recov-
cry of sight in the blind. The natural
man understandeth not the things of
God, for they are spiritually deserved.
The treasures of grace and piety arise
from the most unpromising text of
scripture.
The new light throws clearneas upon
the old revelation vision of faith de-
clared to be supernatural. 1t is gift
conferred and can and should be sought
and prayed for. The need of it is to
make hope bright and courage strong.
With it sorrow becomes a means of
grace and tends to the reflection of
Gods love.
This claim ia not delusion. Some
see more than others that there is an
occult power in it other than brain force.
It is faith which is above reason. Some
