Eoer Attacks RepeIIed.

NEWCASTLE, Natal, Dec. 2S.-The Boers celebrated Christmas in the dis trict between Standerton and Ingogo by more or less determined attack upon every British garrison along the lines ot communication. These. however, were in all cases successfully repulsed. At Utrecht the Boer commandant sent in a demand for whisky, cigars and Christ mas luXuries, failing which he threatened to attack the town. His demand was ig- nored, and the Boers attacked Utrecht in strong force Christmas morning. They were repulsed with loss, tke British cas- ualties being but slight.

pATERSON.S -FAKE FIGHT.

Paterson N. J., Dec '2S.-Alysterious Billy Smith and Young Mahoney. of Philadelphia made the rawest kind of an attempt to fake q fight before the Passaic County Athletic club in Apollo hall last night and sent the 1,0OO spec tators home thoroughly Ilisgusted. Both men made elaborate preparations with bulging bandages, but when they faced each other it was evident that steal was on. Neither man tried to hurt the other and the crowd soon be- gan to hiss them. In the seventh Ed die Dougherty, the referee, plainly told the pugilists that they were not fighting and warned them that if they didn't. warm up they would receive no money. In the eleventh round they opened up like schoolboys. When they attempted a roughing match. i'll which every blow landed. in the air, Referee Dougherty stopped the bout and de cIared the farce to be mo contest, ', The crowd cheered and threatened to ride Smith and Mahoney out, of town on a rail Neither man received q cent from the club. which will make amends for the fake. The preliminary between dSid Ryali and Kid Hogan lasted six rounds, when Referee Dougberty stopped it and gave the fight to Ryan. who had Hogan in a helpless condition.

 If Thomas Sharkey was sincere when ne ueclaIeu some, tune ago unat he wanted to meet any Of the neaVy- welghtS and show that he is not a back number, he should consider at once the challenge hurled at him by "kid'' Mccoy. 1he Sailor cannot say that the Hoosier is a middleweight as Mccoy weighs more than 1SO pounds, and is very anxious to show that he can reverse the decision of two years ago. Homer Selby, at present manag ing McCoy'S affairs, said that two weeks before Mccoy sailed for this side Sharkey expressed d dcsire to meet him. He cabled this to his brother, and the latter hastened home to make the match. This, however, is all that the Sailor has done in the matter. He is reported as saying that if he entered the ring with Mccoy his reputation for honesty would be i'm paired. Mccoy said before he left for Boston that it looked as though Shar- key was trying. to crawl out of a match. Mccoy maintains that the only reputation that the Sailor has at stake is his fighting reputation, if he has any, and this would be very much shat tered if he can induce Sharl>ey to en- ter the ring with him again. Mccoy is ready to post a forfeit of S3,O0O as a guarantee of good faith if Sharkey will come to time and sign articles for a bout at twenty rounds. or less II i Sharkey so desires. James c. Ken nedy is looking for an opening attrac- tion for his new club in San Francis co and would probably offer good ! purse for a twentyround bout between | Mccoy and Sharkey.

Hartford here tonight.

\ win from Hartford tonight means a whole lot to the local club. should New Haven be beaten at home by the NIeriden team Waterbury would then be in the lead.
 It has been suggested that series of games between leading National and Southeastern league teams be played in Boston. Polo in Boston would draw about thirteen per game Brockton Enterprise.
 Hartford will have to take 2 much needed brace if they intend to land the championship. Both Waterbury and New Haven are playing speedy polo, and Meriden is not out of the race, either.-Hartford Post.
 Waterbury has q corkin@ good team and no mistake. In fact there is lit tle choice between any of the teams. About the only difference between the teams is the advantage of playing on the home surface.-Meriden Jour nal
 Evidently the report that the attend ance in the Maine league was being sent out in padded form is coming true. When players have to jump the league because their salaries are not paid. those big crowds somehow fade away and become only memories.
 Hartford will make extra efforts to win out in tO-night'S contest and Wa terbury will endeavor to keep her | guessing. Hartford and Waterbury always put up a fast, scrappy game and that it will be an interesting one tonight no one can doubt. The two teams are close together and q win by either will make the standing look much different.
 Waterbury is in second place at last and they have worked their way into this place by good, fast polo playing. Their work here Tuesday afternoon proved that they can play | game when they feel like it. Since Johnny Russell joined their team they have been playing star polo. Success to yoti, Waterbury.-New Haven Union.
 There will be some crashes in the . polo world the first of next month The strain is getting to be too painful in some cities in the various leagues to be borne much longer.-Brockton Enterprise Yes. but they won't be in Maine.-Bangor News. They must have heard about Pawtucket and Taunton and Salem and East Wey- mouth and d--.-Pawtucket Times.
 According to the estimates sent out to the press about 15,000 people wit messed polo in New England, Christ mas day and evening. The (estimat- edJ attendance in the National league, four games. was 5000; in the South eastern league. six games, 5.700; Maine league, four games. 4.5G0. This shows that the National holds the lead.

New Haven s Defeat Last Night
 Helped the Local Team.

Meriden Rubbed It Into the Leaders
 May Make Big Change-Hartford
 Meets Waterbury Here Tonight
 Meriden Goes to New Haven.
 Meriden, Dec 2S.-The Meriden Rec ord gives the following account of the game last night: -:, -s
 The Meriden polo team proved itS"- to be one of the fastest aggregationS of polo players i'll New England by de feating the league leaders in the fast est game ever witnessed at the local rink, to the tune of s to G.
 The game at all times was fast. bn+' teams working hard to win, and kept 1t up all through the game, and what made it more interesting was the scien- tific playing of both teams. The passing of the home rushers was mar vicious in itself and their driving was accurate and hard. especially Curtiss. who caged three goals by back hand drives. Pierce was himself also and his driving was great. The NhitingS were everywhere and anywhere when needed and their feeding of the ball up the floor to the ruShcrS was such that kept the crowd excited all the while. Heffernan at goal put up q strong game and did his share of winning.
 But the visitors should not be forgot ten. They played a game nearly equal to that of AIeriden. but their plays were blocked by the lccal's defense. Bone and Jason worked well together, the former bein" very fast and his jug gling was up to the top notch, while the latter played a good game. He missed a good many passes. but one cannot expect to get them all Cana van and Whipple were also 8 @reas help to their rushers. Lations put uD good game at goal. but the bombard- ment at times he received made his hair stand up until the boys let up on him. No rough playing was indulged in by either team and one of the pret- tiest games ever witnessed here was played. The summary:
