Clinton, Dec. Am arrangement was
made today by which the Springfield
National league polo team will be
transferred to this town. 1t will be
here OIL trial, so to speak If the peo-
pie support it, well and good If not, it
will be discontinued. Bartlett and Hip
son were secured to come tonight. The
balance of the team will be along for
the next Wednesday game
All but one member of the Springfield
team is in the deal. Schofield of the To-
cal team will be retained. The members
Of the Springfield team who are COM
ing are Hipson, first rush. Mooney, cen
tire; Bartlett, half back, and Sword,
goal.
The Springfield team has not been
a bowling success in the National
league, but it is certainly much swifter
than anything in the Consolidated
league. Bannon, Dawson, Tobin and
MCGOWAN finish at tonights game.
The arrangement that Messrs. Con-
naughton and Coughlin have entered
into, Is doubtless the last effort that
will be made to make polo pay this
season. If the people will not patron
ize such talent as Bartlett and Hipson,
especially now that the theatre is gone,
they will not patronize polo at all.
The Spy has said that polo could not
compete with the theatre, but now that
is. gone, the chance of making the game
pay is decidedly improved.
Two local mills will raise the wages
of their employees 10 per cent. The
Clinton WOrsted Company, which has
been paying 1892 wages for a year or
more, Will add another 10 per cent Jan.
l. The change effects about 300 hands.
The Sterling Worsted Company will
follow suit.
More cases of measles have been re-
ported to the board of health, bringing
the total number of cases to the neigh
borhood of 80 DR.. John/F. Worcester,
chairman of the board of health, has
been making some inquiries, in Boston,
as to the way in which the Boston
health authorities treat the disease. He
finds that Clinton exercises far more
caution. Boston simply has the cases
reported. The board of health imposes
no quarantine, and no special effort is
made to keep children who have been
exposed away from school
DR.. Walter P. Bowers will read
paper on THE early history of the
Clinton hospital" before the Historical
society at a meeting Monday evening.
A. Hollander has moved into the
store on Union street, formerly occu-
pied by P. Calvin. Mr.. Calvin was
ruined by the fire. He is 50 years old,
and will be obliged to spend his declin-
ing years at the town farm. Everything
possible is being done to make him con-
tented there.
Prominent men of Clinton are talk
ing of another bank for the town, to
match the Clinton National bank. The
proposed capital of the bank is to be
either 100000 or $4,000, accordingly as
the gentlemen interested elect to put
$4,000 or $4,000 each into the project.
There is only one bank in town. The
promoters do not think it can do all
the business that ought to be done.
Articles of incorporation will be drawn
in time to receive the sanction of the
general court.
Patrick +. Cannon has completed the
work of furnishing his office in Bank
block. Re purchased all necessary fur
niture today, including a large safe as
a depository for the books of the wild
ows and orphans fund, A. o. H. He
is unable to issue policies in the fund,
and will be until he gets new blanks.
He is having other printed matter that
is necessary prepared as rapidly as
possible.

drive, succeeded in caging the winning

light. Line-up
