NEW HAVEN WON AT POLO.

| Rockville Lose An Interesting Game. The New Haven polo team won what
 might seem by the score to be a one sided game from the Rockville team at | the rink last night. The score. how | ever, does not by any means show the visitors to advantage. Higgins and Hart are smart pair of rushers and very dangerous when they get in close
 proximity to the cage and but for Der rvs star work last night the Rockville score would have told a different tale. During the three periods Berry had forty stops to Starkeys twenty mine,
 while the New Haven team did not as-
 sail Starkey as often as Rockville did
 Berry their work was nevertheless
 magnificent. Mooney, who paired with
 Bone, showed up to good advantage
 and ought to make the popular rush
 splendid partner. George" was in his
 element last night for fair and 1t was
 a pity that the stormy nature of the
 weather compelled so many of his ad-
 mirers to stay at home and thus lose
 sight of his fine work. He was here,
 there and everywhere. At one time he
 was taking the rush, reaching the ball
 almost before his opponent had time to
 start The next time he was flying with whirlwind speed from behind his own cage on and through everything that came in his way until within forty-five angle of the cage he sent the ball spinning past Starkey for a goal. The next time he amused the specta- tors by his well known Juggling acts with the ball. playing with it at will, much to the chagrin of his opponents. He certainly played a great game and has promised to repeat the perform ance against Count Lations and his distinguished company from Walling- ford on Friday night Canavan has seldom played better game than what he did last night. His work was clean, swift and sure. while Eddie Hausman also showed up to advantage, as did also his nose on one occasion when he than he desired. An old saying has it that good nose saves the face and Ed die felt the truth of this adage last night. Altogether the game was first class all round exhibition of polo and it was great pity that the storm had been the means Of keeping so many at home who would have delighted in see ing it.

Hyperion Fheater. WILLIAM FAVERSHAM APPEARS
 TO- NIGHT


 The appearance of William Faver.
 sham in this city as star in the sue,
 cessful new romantic comedy, "A Roya Rival" at the Hyperion tonight, Is ar event of more than usual interest. Il will be especially welcome, for the char. acter of the hero, Don Caesar de Bazan
 played by MT. Faversham, is one that
 combines the fire. romantic spirit of Gi
 de Berault. the hero of Under the Red
 Robe" with the delightful nonchalance and hunor of Lord Algy in Lord and Lady Algy. y.'-two characters in which MT. Faversham made his greatest suc- cesses while leading man of Charles FrohInan's Empire theater company. The occasion will have another element of pleasant interest in the fact that it will be MT. Faversham's first appear anoe in this city since his severe illness last spring, when it seemed for a time as if his career would be cut off in the very moment of his greatest promise. It is quite safe to say that the annals of the American stage does not record single instance, with one possible ex- ception, where such tremendous anxiety
 
 fate of an actor
 Mr. Frohman has given the play a very beautiful production and has sur- rounded his new star with an excellent company of actors. In the cast are Miss Julia Opp, one of the most capa- ble and most beautiful actresses on the stage, engaged by MT. Frohman espe- cially for this engagement; Edwin Ste vehs, of the Empire theater company, Prince Lloyd, Snitz Edwards, James Kearney, N. L. Jelenko, Joseph Weber, Miss Maggie Holloway Fisher, Miss Clarie Mcdowell and others. Seats now on sale Prices $1.5o, $1 and 75 cents.
 More Than Queen" is unique among plays with scenes laid in the first em- pire, in that it silently brings out the human side of chief figure one the great Napoleon, the other the beautiful Josephine, a creole from the Island of Martinique. William Humphrey and his fine company will give Julia Ar thurs production of More Than Queen" at the Hyperion next Saturday, matinee and night, presented with all the magnificent scenery, Beautiful cos- tunes and the wealth of property which characterize the Arthur productions. MT. Humphrey will appear in his origi- nal role of Napoleon, with Miss Roselle Knott as Josephine.

 Those playgoers who have not yet seen Margaret Anglin's intensely emo- tional third-act triumph in Mrs. Dane's Defense should certainly avail themselves of the Empire Stock com pany's appearance at the Hyperion on Wednesday, December ii. The young Canadian actress's achievement as the woman who So desper ately seeks social rehabilitation is not able in modern stage annals, while Charles Richman scores in the arduous, role of her pitiless inquis- itor and unmasker.
