 The polo season wll open in this city tonight, and all the tans should get down to the game and see the clever team that Waterbury has and watch them trim New Britain in the opening game.

Mooney will also play part of the game. It will be t corking good game, for New Britain has a team that will make us hustle from start to finish. The game will start promptly at 9 o'clock, and from the first sound of the gong until he final period is ended Waterbury will see some old time polo.
 There will be three home games this week. Tomorrow night comes the strong Wallingford combination that has been making such q record since the opening of the season. King La tions, the best goal tender in the busi- ness, will be with that gathering, and he has in front of him one of the fast est teams in the business.

 How is it that Tom Cotter has to give up the game, when Mckay of tAe Portland team is his senior by ten years? Pop is about 45, by this time.

 It does seem good to have d Meridnn team start off and not be at the tail end of the National Polo league. Man ager Lush swears he will have team that will he in the first division all the time.-Meriden Journal
 Already they are talking of drop ping Portland and transferring the team to some other city nearer Mas sachusetts. Doe may have to walk the plank he tried to force Sammy Upton to cross before the season is over.
 If Doe should drop over into Woon- socket, which city, as many firmly be- lieye, is a good polo field, the only diff ficulty then to be faced would be the disposition of the Portland team. There are several things that might be done with that aggregation, but the most feasible seems to be to place it in Paw tucket.-Brockton Times.

 A dispatch from Syracuse says that Al G. Buckenburger, manager of ;he
 
 to revive the game of polo on roller skates in New. York state His idea is to form a New York state league, composed of the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Auburn, Oswego and perhaps Toronto and Wa tertown. He has engaged the big Al hambra rink in that city for the winter season, and the work of forming the league will be well under way i'll few days. Mir Buckenburger believes that polo will be revived successfully. He has received word from managers of league teams in Philadelphia. Pitts burg and Baltimore that the game has been revived and with much success.
 A little time ago we picked up Bos- ton paper and read that the polo bust ness was going to be conducted this season on q high plane of businesslike excellence. schedule was to .,e made out for the season, the league was going to be solid as the granite hills, etc. As a matter of fact we find about the same conditions prevailing in polo as always prevailed and as al- ways will. The schedule is issued for week or two at a time, nobody knows just what is going to happen next in the league. there is the usual friction and pulling and hauling and display of action at cross purposes. and the wonderful difference between the old league and the new lies mainly in tile fact that the present league is a ono. man organization and that man w.

 Will Danbury have polo this winter :? The answer to that question depends at present entirely upon the ability 1f the men interested in the proiect to secure the armory on Library place for rink. Since Messrs Reiger and Lations were in this city last week with the offer of franchise, if anyone would provide a rink and take the management of a team, healthy sen- l timent in favor of professional polo has been created and the indications are that good team would receive tina support. Two prominent business men have informed the league of their will lingness to take the financial and busi. ness ends of the enterprise in case they | are able to secure the use of the arm ory. There appears to be no other building in the city with sufficient floor space for polo purposes. The only cb- l jection which has been advanced against the use of the armory for 1olo Is that the building might be damaged The polo men say that one big dance. such as those which are frequently held in the armory. put more strain on
