GREAT POOL PLAYING.

Boston. Feb 27-Clearwater gave splendid exhibition of pool playing ;n last nights game of the championship tournament. He defeated his oppo- nent. Stubbs, 150 balls to 64. and ran the total score off in fifteen frames
 His playing was the best in tho tnur- nament and the large crowd of spec tators applauded heartily. So remark able and accurate was his cue work that only our misses were recorded in the game. His breaks were splendid and the best made by any player in the tourney. Clearwater was not weak in any particular and his long sllOts, which are the failings of so many players, were made with tEe same ease as the short ones. His cut shots. too. were finely executed. Stubbs played his regular good game, but it did not count against Clear waters exhibition. For the first three frames it was close match. Clear water made eight on the first frame and nine on the second. This was more than offset by Stubbs in the third inning by the run of II. But after that 1t was all Clearwater, for he made runs of IA, 13, IA, 15 and 10. That settled the game. for during the same 4tamae atubbe mqae only '.

The Princess Skirt as a
 Novelty for the SprinQ.

A PROPHECY was made in the N middle of the fall season of last
 year by the fashion editor of that very excellent paper, the Dry Goods Economist, regarding the com ing of a new princess skirt. The fol- lowers of the styles, and especially the fashion writers have learned from experience to watch for the hints given in the trade journals for com- ing changes, and expect to see the prophecies realized. But for the princess skirt they seemingly watched in vain. Through the winter season it did not materialize, and now just about the time that everybody had forgotten all about them they begin to appear, and give promise of being prominent feature of the spring and summer seasons.
 This new skirt extends to the bust line, fitting closely over the figure be- low the bust over the waist and hips, thus forming a girdle effect. In mak- ing it the goods are cut all in one that is to say, from the top line of the girdle effect to the bottom of the skirt, whole lengths are the form. There is no belt line. The girdle over the waist and over the hips is lined usually with ~haircloth. The back is finished with organ plaits or a plain effect, and is uusally stiffened with interlining in order to preserve a

entertainments that have been a fea- ture of the season now closed, yet in the name of charity they manage to find many amusements of the milder sort. There are charity teas, charity L2rties, charity receptions, charity balls that are conpara lively speaking quiet occasions, and even charity breakfasts.
 For these affairs the gowns are much more elaborate than We used to see during the Lenten season. Of these the at-home gowns are pro1~ ably the most attractive. They are of cloths, satin foulards, foulards, silks. cashmeres and crepe de chimes. The new foulards and satin foulards all have large scroll patterns, or on the stripe order. They are decidedly striking, and judging from the colors, which are decidedly vivid, American society is not going into mourning for England's queen, and the mer- chants are pleased because of this. But these vivid colors are subdued by a trimming of darker shade of vel vet or applique, with finishing touches of lace, spot dress nets, black silk cluny guipure net, and plaited chif- ions.
 One of those gowns, in which so- ciety are spending the Lenten days was worn the other day at a five o'clock tea. is of crepe de chine in a lavender shade. The skirt has a front panel, with applique of black velvet entwined with gold. The sides are tucked in clusters of three, with a tucked back caught down about eight inches then in loose folds. The bodice has a round yoke of shirred white chiffon, with the chiffon falling loosely to the waist line, forming a vest. The crepe de chine is at each side, cut in square vandykes, and fin ished with the black velvet and gold The sleeves are shirred at the top, and brought closely to the arms in a shirred cuff of black velvet and gold

President H. D. Noble of the Con- necticut polo league has notified the managers of the remaining clubs of the league. Manchester. New Haven and Rockville, that under the existing conditions it was not deemed advis- able to continue the season, owing to the withdrawal of Waterbury and Mer- iden and the poor outlook in MancheS- ter and New Haven. Rockville had been successful. financially. but the start. although it was probable that the interest would have increased the present week. A meeting of the three remaining managers will be held Sun day in this city, when plans will be begun for next season, but as far as the present season is concerned, polo is dead.-IIartfOrd Post.
 There was no polo game in the Arm- ory at Manchester last evening. and in all probability there will be no more this season. Most of the players did not show up. but Coggshall was on hand. but returned to. Hartford early in the evening. The last effort to run the State league series did not pay. The first game, week ago last even ing. drew only SiXty-three paid admiS- siOnS, and the second game fifty-Seven. Manager Valiant had fast team for Manchester. It won every game. de- feating the RockvilleS twice. the Meri- dens and the New Ravens. This is the third unsuccessful attempt to run polo in Manchester this winter and there is no longer any doubt that it is q dead letter.

THE GOVERNORS TRIP.
He Will Go to Washington as a Pri-
 yate Citizen.

As reported yesterday. says the Hartford Courant, there has developed a strong desire at Washington to have Governor Mclean make his visit there at the inaugural ton q formal and off cial enc, with his entire staff and mili- tary escort. It was suggested from there that an appropriation be made and that the representation be at the state expense. Governor Mclean was seen by reporter yesterday and was asked for his views on the matter. The governor said that he thought it was too late to start any such movement and that further if the appropriation was voted he would not be inclined to make use of it. There is a constant demand for money from the state treasury and aNgood many things will be coming up on which he will feel freer to act if he has not set the exam pie of spending $2,OOO or $3,0O0 in a trip to Washington. The governor said that he had made. all his arrangements to go to the inauguration as q private citizen at his own expense and his plans could not be changed now at this late date. He expects to start on Thursday afternoon.

Odds and Ends of Fashion
 in the Neu York Stores

NNE of the pretty millinery effects for summer wear that is shown
 in New York store is a straw hat trimmed with chiffon and foliage. 1 he shape is flat and off the face. It is but one of the many comparative ly cheap but charming models that are promised for summer.
 A novelty that should be appreci ated by every home dressmaker is the new waist Things that are made and fit to join to the dress material. A small investment in this line saves a great amount of work.
 Linen collars will not be worn to any great extent during the coming summer.
 Huge flowers in gauge, in gold to affix on any colored dress, or of tint to harmonize or contrast with that of the robe, though they seem rather a tawdry addition to a fine material, will be much used on the best of frocks for spring and summer even ings. Some of these immense imi tation blossoms have black chenille in the center, by way of imitation stamens; some are sprinkled with 8 diamond or strass dewdrop or two. Long strands of chenille or baby rib bon may depend from the flower. The left shoulder in front is the place where they are generally set, but some of the lace or gauge empire gowns have such a flower placed be- tween the shoulders at the back, with long and rather wide streamers of ribbon falling thence on to the train. The big gauge blossoms like the bead chains worn in the day time, are inexpensive and somewhat gaudy ad- ditions to smart toilettes that are we'll worn for time.

KID NI'COv'S RLCFF-

Kid Mccoy has returned from his trip abroad and has resumed his bom- bastic talk. The Kid says he wants to fight Sharkey. Corbett. FiaZsimmons and Jeffries in turn and is confident that he can whip them all. He de clares that he has taken on weight and is in finer condition than ever be- fore. By what right Mccoy can ex- pect match with any of these heavy weights is a puzzle to the followers of fistiana. Sharkey might prove easier than the others. because the sailor has gone away back. while the Kid has improved since their meeting at the I4enoX A. c. three years ago. If. as Mccoy insists, his fight with Corbett was strictly on the level .hn would have little chance of winning in an other mill with ''Gentleman Jim.' As for FitZsimmons, no well posted sport ing man believes that Mccoy would meet him if the chance should be of fered. On ring form and records Me Coy does not class with Fitz. The Kids poor showing against Sharkey, Ruhlin and Cofbett must. be taken as proof that he has no business with the Cornishman, who has DHt away oil three of these heavyweiehts in the most decisive manner. Regarding q battle with Jeffries the same ai go444ssIt applies. The champion in condition would be too big and strong for the Kid to overcome. He has, beaten Sharkey, Corbett and Fitzsimmons, which is quite a record. Mccoy, as many sporting men have argued, has few victories of importance in his rec 4rd. If he is actually spelling for q light Choynski, Walcott and Tommy Ryan are ready to tackle him.

Arraigns Britain for It's Conduct in

 South African War.
 London. Feb 27.-"Not since the days of the Romans" said John Dill Ion on the reply to the kings speech in the house of commons yesterday, has an army made a habit of capturing women and children as the British generals in South Africa are doing.'
 This, Mir Dillon added. was cruel and cowardly to put Boer women on half rations because their husbands had not surrendered. as was the un denied practice in the reconcentrado camps, was worthy of the worst brig ands Of Sicily and Greece.
 Mr Dillon then went over the record of the war. referring to the house burnings, etc, averring that ill treach- cry and cruelty the balance was against the British. He congratulated the Roers on having q different record
 Mir Brodericll replied that the British conduct was humane. Ii was not true that the country had been devastated deliberately and by wholesale. Farm houses had been burned for cause and portions of the country had been de- VaStated because it had been fought over five or six times. In some cases the Bocrs deserted their houses and the Kaffirs burned them.
 Mr Dillon'S amendment was rejected by 91 to 243 votes The reply to the kings speech was adopted by 297 to IS votes.

THE FIGHTING BRAKEMAN.

''When We opened a new branch line out in Wisconsin, said the railroad man, lit was found that about every man who travelled between the towns of D. and T. was q deadhead-that is. they were miners, sawmil1 hands and lumbermen-and they serenely told the conductor to 20 to when he demanded fare.

We sent our best men up the branch. but they were licked as fast as they appeared. In this emer gency l was instructed to secure the aid Of prize fighter.

He was the saddcst looking object you ever saw when he was brought back to me. and when I tried to brace him up he shook his head and backed off and said: 'No more of that. colonel.
