Game Last Night.
Wallingford's polo team were again
defeated last night. The game was
with Hartford. 1t was very exciting
game and at times very rough. Red
Smith of the Hartfords and plucky lit
tie Janelle came together and the wal
1ingford man got the worst of the en-
counter. In the first period Manager
Heineman of the local team appeared
on the floor and played an exceedingly
good game at half-back. The game
was a. very close one, and although the
Hartfords won, the Wallingfords had
the best of the play, as the stops indi-
cate, eastman being called upon to
make AZ stops, while the veteran Cur
ley had only IS. 1t was lucky game
for Hartford. The score was to in
favor of Hartford. Only two fouls
were called during the game, one
against Maynard and the other against
Devlin.

The mysterious postal cards sent out
regarding the meeting at Lynch's hotel
last evening prove to be an attempt of
j. Theobold Walsh, the author of the
drama Irish Volunteers" to get to-
gether some of the active members of
the various Irish societies here in town
to create an interest in the drama,
which it was proposed to produce here.
The peculiar method employed caused
quite little misunderstanding, and 1t
gave cause for quite a little speculation
as to what project was on foot. The
names of P. H. Darrigan and William
Hassett, which appeared on the call
were intended to give tone to the meet
ing, but as both denied any knowledge
Of the matter, and Landlord Lynch ap-
peared to know nothing about the
gathering, 1t had queer look. AS it
is, it proves to be an attempt to create
an interest in a scheme to put money
In the pocket Of some outside enter
