In game of polo for the champion ship of the city last night the Fourth Warders- defeated the Eagles by q score of S'to 6.
 Barney Doherty was very quiet last evening. and he appeared to be the incest little boy in the bunch. Eyi- dently Barney doesn't like to be called rowdy and thug, and perhaps he is right.
 Isn't it a remarkable thing that city the size of New Haven will not support good clever team of polo players? Yet that is the fact, never theless, and if it were not for Water bury and Hartford the league would have succumbed long since.
 Meriden feels sore over it's inability to have polo, though it is the fault of the people. who will not support the game. The town may have another team. before the season closes. It would simply be another move on the polo checker board.-Hartford Times.
 The Waterbury writers are having lots of fun in ripping the Hartford players up the back since the last game in this city. Up to date, how ever, there has not been a word of de- fenSe for their team in it's bullying what they will do to Hartford tonight. Hartford Times. And we didn't do it.
 The fate of polo in Connecticut will be decided to-day when the magnates get together. Waterbury and Hart ford seem to be the only two cities that are available in the matter of consoli dation and notwithstanding Tom Cot ters statement. he will consent to con- solidation when he sees no other al- ternatiye.

Doe did not think he would need Higgins again, but Roberts has not been on his good behavior, his work has not been satisfactory and he has been released. Argus.
 The National Polo league will meet in this city this afternoon. It is eX pected that the New Britain franchise will be transferred to Hobe Whiting. The players do not think they have been fairly treated in money matters by Aufort and they would rather play under Hohe. It was said yesterday that New Britain would finish the sea son out under MT Writings manage ment. The team will play ill Hartford to-night.-HartfOrd Couranr.
 In regard to the report in yesteT days Courant that New Britain'S polo team would be transferred to Salem. Manager Cotter of Hartford said that he would not be surprised if the trans fer was made. He said that when the team was transferred from Meriden to New Britain the management should have announced that the team was ..therc to stay" Mir Cotter says that if the transfer is made. Hartford.

KID MCON SIGNS.

Kid Mccoy yesterday posted S2.5O0 with Al Smith to clinch his match with Tom Sharkey, which is slated to be decided at san Francisco at the Twentieth Century Athletic club. Me Coy will leave for the Pacific coast next Monday, in company with Mar tin J. Walsh of Boston, who is the Kids new packer and manager. Me Coy had q talk with the matchmaker of the California club and it was agreed to postpone the date of the mill from February 2S to the second or third week in March Mccoy asked for the postponement in view of the fact that he thought the time was tCo short to permit him to get into condi- ton. He figures that it will take him a week to reach Frisco and two more weeks before he becomes acclimated. If the mill is held on February 2S he will have only about fourteen days in which to get into trima Mccoy weighs 115 pounds stripped, ,.4and expects to take on at least ten more pounds in a warmer climate.

What q Patent CoSIs.

In the course of it's progress through the office up to the issue and mailing O. a patent an application passes through the hands of .2 persons. An applicant pays S15 to have his claim examined
 and in case he is granted q patent an additional fee of $20 is required. At
 torneys charge from S25 up, according g to the work demanded by the cases, and as the applications number about 10000 yearly it will be seen that there is a good deal of money to be divided among the patent lawyers whose signs cover the faces of the buildings in the vicinity of the patent office. An in. ventor is not required to employ an at torney, but probably ninety nine out ot a hundred do. In simple cases. where there is no interference with prior claims. an inventor can almost as well deal direct with the government, but in most cases the knowledge of the lawyer is valuable. He can study ether in. Hentions in the same line. and knows how to make the claim of his client broad enough to cover all that is new and valuable and not so broad as to be rejected.-E. V.

V RICH 6 POOR &S]
 NAlLlMlz -

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women old and young rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutelv sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

WITH THE YACHTSMEN.
The Lawson Boat Building in Bostol
 Will Be Called "America.''

Boston, Jan 19.-The Lawson Yacht Advisory committee have decided to name the cup defender America. in commemoration of the original Ameri- ca. which won the cup. The decision will be presented to MT Lawson. for his approval. Inasmuch as Mir Law son is understood to favor the name, the Boston defender is as good as named. The committee took defi- nite step in the, direction of cultivat- ing cordial relations with the New York Yacht club by passing a resolu- tion extending the warmest greetings of the committee to the New York club.
 Captain Hank Half came here yes terday to talk over matters relating to the boat, and with Captain Watson was in conference at different times with Designer Crowinshield, Adrian Wilson, the sailmaker: George F. Law ley, c. F. Adams, 2d, and c. E. Hodges. The question of the head sails was gone over thoroughly. It was decided to change the plan of the club topsail. The one which MT Crowinshield had designed was not lofty, but by the change it will be carried twenty-three feet above the toDmast head.
 Captain Half said that he had pick ed out some men for the crew of the new boat, but that no articles had

It is said the directors will not improve the structure until the mayor issues the permit. Ander- son X Ziegler have offered the Colum- bia theater for two benefit perform ances provided the contest does not take place.

In proof of it we tell what those who have used it say.
 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. 1cS Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. says: 'To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's' Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market
 Just such emphatic endorse -ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

Winter Navigation.

A writer on lake navigation says it is useless to talk of keeping winter channel open with strongly built ice crushing boats because the gales are too severe, and the cost of maintain ing the boats in motion would be too great The lake car ferries that make short trips are often delayed for days n reaching port in winter. Three 'ourths of the serious losses on the akes occur in Noyember-Detroit Free Press.

 Gus Dumont of Baltimore wants to match his lightweight champion, Bothner, to wrestle any man at any weight from 135 to 15O pounds, bar pone.
 Edward Johnson, who was to have met Jim Hughes on the mat in the Pastime A. C.. failed to appear, owing to an injury he received while wrest- ling with George Bothner. Hughes says he will not claim the. $50 de- posted by Johnson.
 George Bothner, the Pastime A. C. wrestler, proved to the satisfaction of large crowd last night at the Third Avenue theater. New York, that he knows considerable about the wrest- ling game. Bothner met Harvey Parker of Brockton, Mass, who has made rapid strides in the lightweight division during the past two years in a bout catch-as-catch-can style. liar vey undertook to throw Bothner in fifteen minutes. He didn't succeed however, and Bothner was declared winner. Johnny Dunn, the we'll known announcer, was the referee, while Jimmy Handler held the watch.

 During the day all the bulbed steel angle bars for the frames arrived at the Atlantic Works. The steel was placed in the rolling mill, where the angles will be bent as soon as possi- ble. The scrive board will be sent from Lawley's to the Atlantic Works tomorrow.
 The shed in which the yacht is to be built has been completed, and everything is ready to lay the keel. Blocks for the keel are laid in the trench, which was dug in the center of the building. The lead still is in the rolling mill, and may not be used until the yacht is partly plated.
 The pattern of the bottom of the keel was not sent to the foundry in East Braintree yesterday because of the bad weather.
 MT Wilson says that he is at work upon the sails of the new boat. He has some of the light sails screwed together and turned in ready for cab ling.
 Bristol R. l., Jan 19.-The work of joining the deck beams to the frames of the cup defender is being hurried in the south boat shop at HerreshoffS'. It is the intention of the designer to have q dozen or more ribs connected before the first angle in the uprights is put in place. Yesterday much head way was made in punching and coun- tersinking for rivet holes. On Tues day, or at the latest Wednesday, frames enough will be joined to war rant the commencement of work on the ribbing.
 Very little work is being done on the lead keel. It is a matter of wait ing until the steel uprights are hoist ed into position. This job will be done by means of a crane and purchase, which lifts the steel bars and drops them into place on top of the lead keel.
 Several platers are expected from New York in about two weeks to rush the plating on the defender. Metal workers in the boat building line are scarce at present.

 Tom Cottter wanted that game last night pretty bad and he made up his mind when he went into the rink that he would win it if it cost him all he was worth. He would play fair if he was treated fairly but he was just as willing to rough matters if he was forced to do it. In fact. he instructed his men to take every chance to win that game. and all through the night he was encouraging them to harder ef- forts to win out. II was fast and clean game. and but two fouls were called during the night, one on Holder ness for holding and one on Doherty for stopping the ball with his hand. What deefated Waterbury was the great defense and blocking work of Tom Cotter and the superb goal tend ing by Starkie. The latter player has not given very many good exhibitions in this city this season, but his work of last night was a corker and no mis- take. Russell drove at him condnuai' ly, but out they went with shoot from Starkie's feet. It was a oltteriE contested game and there was no let up during the three periods. We were fated to lose and lose We did. and with the loss of the game We lost first posi- tion. The score and summary:

COLORADO KILLS FIGHTS.

Denver. Jan 19.-By a vote of 24 to 8 yesterday. the Colorado senate passed q bill repeating the prize fight bill, which became law two years ago. There was no debate, and it now goes to the house. The act is similar to the one which was on the statute books of New York, but places no limit on rounds. It was declared un- constitutional by the lower courts and is now before the supreme court of the state. Sparring matches of ten rounds are allowed in th's city under the city ordinances. and the passage of the re- peal bill will have no effect upon this practice.
