QUIT EVEN.
THE POLO GAME LAST
NIGHT AT THE RINK
Resulted in a Tie-An Exciting Game
From Start to Finish-Score 10 =
Cincinnati Player Badly Injured

Those who attended the polo game
at the rink last evening, between the
Cincinnati and Henley teams, were
treated to as exciting game as has
been played on the floor of that rink
/ for some seasons. The crowd was
a large one, and was impartial in
its approval of the good plays by
both sides. The game was called
promptly at 9 O'Clock, with Will
Swaynie acting as referee.
In the first inning exactly in one
minute after play was called the Hen
leys scored the first goal, made
by Stevens, who was loud
ly applauded for his
exceptionally fine playing.
The second inning was also of
short duration, Patterson making
the goal for the Henleys. In the
third inning Cincinnati scared a
goal, made by Rice, At this stage
of the game Bayles of the Cincinnati
team was badly injured by a fall,
striking his head with great force
against the floor, but after a few
moments delay he pluckily resumed
his position and made the team 5
goal. The playing of Pugh of Gin
cinnati was of the highest order, as
was also that of Nandand, the center
rush for the visitors.
In the second inning of the game
Jessup received quite a severe blow
between the shoulders; but not of so
Sc. ious nature as to interfere with
the game. That the local team is i'm
proving in their general play is a
noticeable fact to those who have at
tended the games since the opening
of the season.

on account of the fact that Ger

dropping the job. The work OF con

but no longer than is possible. as the
company will push il as rapidly as
possible, and will have other contrac-

may be.
The books that went away were
shipped to Chicago. After the treas

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market transactions were light in vol
urne on an irregular movement OF values. Ex-
treme weakness in the London and Berlin mar
kets followed by heavy foreign selling here
tended 10 check early operations for a rise. but
traders were not inclined to make active efforts
on the short side Of speculation. Indication Of
further pool buying and the general belief in the
Street that the rally which began last week has
not yet run its course, doubtless encouraged a
spirit Of caution the part Of the shorts"
These factors did not attract active public buy
ing The outside speculative element appears
TO be firm in its determination not 70 engage in
stock market transactions while current trade
and political uncertainties are factors IN the
situation but the chances are that any re-
revved decline a large number Of outside specu-
lators Of means will become active buyers Of
good securities Many intending buyers are ap-
parently holding of in the expectation Of lower
prices on the theory that liquidation will take
place some time this summer, owing to posi-
bic seasonable political scare. Stocks are pretty
cheap at going prices.
Wall Street ought TO feel encouraged over the
success Of the silver men IN the Democratic
Convention. Sixteen TO one is not vote win
ming argument, and the explicit declaration in
favor Of the silver plank in the Democratic
platform will help the Republican party. Wall
Street however, will probably make no haste
IN discounting a probable sound money victory,
while IL Is not improbable IN the continued ab-
eenoe OF the speculative public from the mar
ket that efforts will be made to lower values
on q manufactured fear Of Republican defeat.
It may be recalled that IN the campaign OF four

Wall Street and political managers can frighten

men are not however looking forward to any
trouble in the market
In the afternoon trading prices were generally
strong and higher. Jersey Central and Reading
were features on a belief that the controlling
interest In both roads had passed TO the Van
derbflts The soft coal shares were also strong.
Sugar Refining enjoyed a sharp advance but the
selling at the high level appeared to be better
than the buying. Industrials in general closed
above Tuesdays final figures, while among the
railway shares net gains predominated- The
