 The Hartford franchise was awarded Ito Daniel F. Connor, and the colors for X the club will be red and blue. The Main street rink will be used this win ter. It was voted to have the rinks of uniform size this year, at least as much as possible The rink in Meri- tden is larger than any of the other rings and 1t is being made smaller. The playing in that city is generally slower \ than elsewhere around the circuit, but { with a smaller rink this fault will be remedied The following referees were yappointed last night: William J.

The young blood that will be in the teams this season will add a greal deal of in .x.eaSt in the games. It is said of young ACunnihgham, who will be found on the New Haven team that he is the best second rush in the business to-day. In that event New Haven will have no trouble in hold it's own with any of the | teams il the league. There are none | better than Bone and Canavan, and | with the assistance of Cunningham, | the goal tenders in the league will | d0ubtless get busy on and after next | ThursSay night. Manager William Au- | fort is going to have the rink in first class condition and his efforts to give the New Haven people the best in the 4ame will doubtless meet with great ISt1cCess
