HENlEY'S WIN
THE FIRST GAME OF THE
SERIES.
With the Crack Hartford, Conn. Polo
Team-Score Was to 4 and the
Game Was a Cracker. Jack two
More Games in This City.

The first game of the series be
tween the Henleys and the Hartford,
Conn, team was played last night
before fair sized crowd. aud result
ed in a score of to 4 in favor of the
locals This was somewhat of a sur
prise to many who had supposed that
the champions would step in and
have walk-over. Ii the visitors
themselves thought that they would
have soft snap with the Henleys
they were considerably fooled last
night. for the locals put up n fine ex
hibition of the way polo is played in
the west. Neither team played its
best last night and the coming two
games will no doubt be even better
than the one last night, for the series
is to be decided on the total number
of goals made In the three games.
When it comes to scientific game
and clever plays the Hartford players
are strictly in il, for they surely have
the fine points of the game down
pat. They are slow and deliberate
in their plays and thoroughly under
stand the art of passing the ball,
making their team work almost per
feet. Their game in many respects
differs materially from the western
game If there is a weak point in
their playing it is in their fail
ure to protect their goal tender,
and this proved rather disastrous
for them last night, for this weak
place in their defense was quickly
taken advantage of by the Henleys
aud three fourths of the playing was
done around the Hartford goal
Fisher was right at home last night,
with the kind of a game played by
the easterners, for he has had con-
siderable experience in eastern polo
and was on TO some of the tricks of
the trade. The visitors are logged
out in great shape, and their skates
are almost obscured by the heavy
rubber protectors, which they use
about as much as their skates. Big
Tom Cotter, the king of polo play
ers, certainly deserves his title, for
he gavea clever exhibition of fine play
ing, as did also the goal tender, who
was the busiest man On the foor,

A COUNTRY FIRE.
House Belonging to T. P. Lindsay
Burns This Morning-De-
fcctiye Fiue.

There was a fire this morning on
the old Isaac hinsey farm south Of
Milton, a tenant house on that farm,
belonging to T. P. Lindsay, burning
The confiagration started from a de
fective fiue, and the house was total '
destroyed. The loss is perhaps five
hundred dollars
A distressing and unusual feature
of the fire was the fact that in the
house that burned was Mrs. Ed Kin
singer, wife of the tenant, who had a
small baby only twenty-four hours
old. However. the delicate task of
removing her to a neighbor some
distance away was accomplished
with no apparent harm either to the
mother or baby.

heavily on that account.
