Polo Notes.

ter season. it Is evident -hat the circuit
in Massachusetts, has not been completed

on the part of people who are willing to
go into polo and this may result in two
leagues being formed in Massachusetts.
This may be determined within few
days. The Southeastern New England

Journed to Wednesday night. while it *
stated that meeting of the proposed
rival league will come off in Boston. Mon

bearing on the formation of Maine

OF 4 league in this State doubtless eman-
ateS from Murtaugh and McCnlvraE two
well-known players of that city. The
possibility of such an organization may
be affected by the condition of affairs IN

The prospect il Very bright FOR much
building. another season. The
scarcity or good rents in the city
is appealing to those who have a little
spare money to invest and they are go
ing to put ii into houses. one con
tractor already has the contracts fo.
three to be built as soon as practica-
bic in the spring. and there is a good
prospect for more. Meanwhile there
are new houses going UP all over the
city. Waterville is Just beginning to
boom. but Just wait until those little
railroads that are slowly wormins
their way towards the city get here,
and then there'n be business to burn.
It's bound to come, its coming and i
has come.
