 New Britain, Oct. 31.--The magnates the the National Polo league met at the Hotel Ruswin this afternoon and were in session for more than two hours The matter of the withdrawal of Bridgeport from the league, which has occasioned much uneasiness, was strengthened out. Mir Harris, who had the franchise in that city, was present at the meeting and stated that he was unable to put team in Bridgeport and he signed a paper relinquishing the franchise and placed 1t at the disposal of the league. It was later transferred to the Bridgeport Polo and Amusement company, represented by Thomas K. Guest of Waterbury. It is probabil- ity, in fact it is believed to be a cer- tainty, that Frank sellee of Boston will manage the Bridgeport club.
 The meeting was presided over by President J. L. Morse of Boston and there were also in attendance Secretary C. F. Olin and w. A. Parsons of New Britain, w. J. Murray of Providence, E. F. Peckham of New Haven, H. H. Jennings of Hartford, Thomas Reilly of Meriden, Jean Jacques of Water bury William Harris of Bridgeport and by special invitation T. E. Guest of Waterbury. After MT. Harris had stated that he was unable to put a team into Bridgeport and relinquished his franchise, a vote of thanks was extended by the league to him for the interest he has manifested in develop i ing the game and regret was expressed | of M, fa i1I1ra n rnnliyo The anticipated financial encouragement. Mr Guest was then given an audience and stated that if the franchise was given to the Bridgeport Polo and Amusement company that a new rink would be built at an expense of at least $7000, and that Frank Sellee of Boston would manage the team and he assured the magnates that no expense would be spared to place in the city one of the fastest teams in. the league. In view of the representations made by MT. Guest it was decided to give the company that he represented the | franchise. During the construction of l the new rink Bridgeport will play her | home games in Madison hall, which is | amply big enough for playing space 1 but will limit the attendance.
 l The application for franchise re- l ceived from Seth A. Hargraves of Fall i River was received and was turned over to the secretary to place on file, without further action being taken.
 | President Morse was elected to rep resent the league in the national board of arbitration. Secretary Olin was ex- tended a vote of thanks for compiling the best polo guide the sport has ever been favored with. Next Thursday the i secretary will announce his staff of referees, substitutes, times and scorers in the different cities. It was the inn
 pression of the magnate that he com ing eason would witness some of the 1 best polo ever played in the state.

Investment of public funds which can

ment to the public wealth.
What is true of a municipality is true
OF Commonwealth, and legislators who
take different view will find that the
people are better informed and are more
keenly alive to this subject than to any
other which affects their interests. and
are sure to hold their representatives re-
sponslble for any act which may close
the door to their children to high educa-
tion-and this is so. even though the in
dividual may not deem n wise to avail
himself of the opportunity. His State

up the fountains of wealth which his
child may acquire without stocks, with

What has been said Is true and Is
true year by year, but there is an espe-
cal reason at this time why there
should be no diminution in the appro-
priation to the University. Two years
ago, as is well known. it suffered an
immense loss by fire. It's alumni have
rallied to its support, and the Legislature
came forward and obligated itself to GER
tain annual payments necessary to enable
the college to borrow enough money to
replace its destroyed buildings. That
work has been done to a very larRe ex-
tent. but the funds. we understand. are
exhausted and 1t would be cruel Just at
this juncture to strike the institution a
blow which will paraiyze its energies.
AS we have said, IL there is any truth
in the report that there has been negli-
gence and improvidence in the expendi-
ture of State funds, the remedy is to stop
that sort Of thing, but not 10 cripple the
institution.

An unpleasant rurhor comes from Rich
mond that some members of the Legisla-
ture, in the effort to economic, are
suggesting a reduction of the annual
appropriation to the University of Viz
ginia. To do so at this particular time
would we fear, be false economy The
University is State institution of which
every Virginian is proud, and which has
done well its part in elevating her people
and maintaining the true characteristics
of her civilization.
Wise legislation some years ago made
the University the keystone OF the free
school system of the state, and threw
open its lecture rooms, free of charge,

The city of Lynchburg has been an Oh
