| Lose at New Haven and Win at Provi- l dence-Tted for Third Place-Other | Games,
 | The Providence polo team came to | this city yesterday afternoon and waged battle with the New Haven polo team at Polo hall. The game started off at Q lively clip and was kept up till the gong sounded. Then it was seen that Providence had the honor of victory, and 1t was victory we'll won. All through the contest the Providence team showed Its superiority in what Is known as true polo, or in other words. the passing game The New Haven team was inferior in this re- spect, in that the rushers especially seemed to play an individual game It is all well enough to have 8 pretty in- dividual play made once in while. but to continue it through a whole game Is too much. Bone and Whipple were coached through the game by Captain Canavan, and as last resort Canavan played as near the rush line as it was advisable to do. Then again if they did make a beautiful pass it was stopped by either "Kid' Conway or "Dumpy' w W4lC dll llil NAtI e3eNiAC PSts up masterly defense for the visitors. Heffernan seemed to stop everything that came his way, while Lations seemed to have an off day. Captain Canavan and Hobe Whiting for the home put up a good game. The visit ors' playing all through the game was of the championship kind There was an absence of the rough playing usually indulged in by Conway, who was as meek as lamb The score was Provi- dence 9, New Haven 5, The teams are now tied for third place, as the home team won from Providence in Provi- dence last night.

 The masterpiece of mirth, hilarity and nature, Hoyt's "A Temperance Town opened three nights engagement yes- terday. Few plays have been written where the ups and downs of life, the homely, everyday people, and a few professional frauds, are so we'll blended together. There is nothing overdrawn, not even the town drunkard, or the vil- lage clergyman. It is a pity that every prohibitionist could not be forced to go and see "A Temperance Town" The company presenting the play here is excellent. Although some rough-and- tumble scenes are introduced no one de- scends to coarseness. The public, with its ready sympathies and discrimina- tion applauded heartily the heroines and heroes, for there are a number, while the gallery hissed the villains, who portrayed prohibition hypocrites As the Village Clergyman Conrad Cantzen, was more than natural But it was Mink" George Richards, and his son, Eugene Garfield, who caught the house, both MT. Richards and MT Garfield appeared in the original pro- duction in Boston in 1892, and they are the owners of the piece to-day. F. T. Nagle, who was also in the original production, played the rumseller, and as usual, he made great success of the part. The part of Ruth made famous by Miss Caroline Miskel, the late Mrs. Charles Hoyt, was taken by Miss Flor erce Earle, and she made most excel lent impression, and she gave a careful and excellent interpretation of the part The genial manager of the company is Albert Ashley, who Is graduate of Yale, and yesterday he received the happy return of the day from his large circle of friends. He is a New Britain boy and has many friends in this city who wish his a most happy New Year The piece will be repeated this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening This is the first time that this piece has ever been presented in this city at popular prices, and it is a dollar show that MT.
