given above Conover changed places with Saw

the game ended Savage went to his former posi-

stands at three increased the strength of the orange
and black contingent and It, instead Of Rocka-
way. gave the handicap allowance
Wheelers place the team made some of the
club early in the game doubtful Of the re
suit and as each side earned the same number
of goals (six). Rockaway had a narrow escape
from defeat.
Rockaway's experienced team work really won
the day. Conover and Savage worked together as
accurately two pieces of the machine. and
Hazard showed reserve than in some games
In keeping away from the ball when some one
else could take It to better advantage. Rene La
Montague. jr.. played steadily always and brill
iantly when circumstances permitted
The game began slowly. with many wild sweeps
at the ball and nothing hit 1t the coolest
day polo has been played for years. and the gal
lery of spectators had decidedly wintry look,
Wheeler made the first point OF the day. running
the ball down the field for a neat goal after two
minutes of brisk fighting in the Rockaway terri
tory. At the throw-ln Rene La Montague, jr,
got the ball at once, but Cary backed 1t and then
Wheeler tried to run it down the field. He was
soon brought to turn by grand back by Con-
over. Then came chase for the ball with young
La Montague well in the lead
Ride the boy, Bob the loud order given
to R. J. Collier, and the latter went for him, but
La Montague made beautiful side pass the
ball and it shot in front Of his horse straight
down the field. He soon got chance the
goal to lit the ball out of the bunch and he sent
1t sailing high the posts for goal He made
a second goal after six minutes of stubborn play
and Hazard added more point for Rockaway
after nearly two minutes hard play time.
The second period was productive of only one
goal, the first time this season that small a
number has been scored; The men were we'll
warmed up to the game by this time and P. F.
Collier exerted himself to bring his team up 70 the
but but he ala not keep it !ong Wheeler soon made
and so did Gary La Montagne backing handsome
performance and then passed the ball to Robert
Collier who struck the goal finely fully forty yards
from the posts.
In the third period Hazard made quick goal
after one minutes play. Robert Collier then made
another spectacular one. but young Montague
soon did even better. sending the BAH high
air fifty yards from the posts.
The last period was the speediest. It was played
goals for Lakewood. and Savage made one for his
opponents and the game ended with the ball struck
outside after three minutes over time play.

Spider and Fly" w. B. Leavitt's splen- did spectacular production, was the attrac- ton at the Jefferson Theatre at matinee yesterday and again last night, and proved one of the prettiest and best attractions of the season, advance rumors to the con- trary notwithstanding.
 The production was a most agreeable surprise, and for freshness and general snap was hard to beat. The costumes are elaborate, the scenery beautiful and the entire company Is clever, three requisites to a good spectacular performance.
 The plot is not a very deep one, al- though it reaches to the bottom of the sea, but Is the vehicle for some very clever work, which is cleverly performed, including a number of excellent specialties.
 Flora Walcott as Oceana Queen of the Mermaids, Is a beautiful woman with a pretty voice.
 She has a fine stage presence and scored a hit. George Putnam as Lord Razzle Dazzle, possesses a superb figure and most gracefully and cleverly interpreted herepart Miss Mayfiel as Zomel, an evil spirit, the Morrlsey sisters as Spider and Fly in their speciality turns, and in fact every member of the company was good.

 will appear at the Jefferson Theatr tre on next Thursday in the last New York success, "When We Were Twenty One" Mir. Clarke every one knows who has been to Daly's Theatre, where, as the leading actor, he was the greatest favorite In that grand dra- matic corps. Last season MT. Clarke and Ada Rehan played 'The Tanning of the Shrew," and, as "Petrueio," MT. Clarke could have been satisfied with the laurels he has gained But actors, like politicians, always want to be at the top, and MT. Clarke is no exception. Hence we find him now, under the management of Edwin E. Rice, securing the country round" as "Dck Carewe," the quiet bachelor of the period. But he does not remain one long. Oh, no! The play ends with his head bowed to the yoke of matrimony, and after four acts, Dick Carewe ambles gently in double harness, side by side with Phyllis Erricson.
