POLO SEASON SHORT

There is a possibility that no more polo
will be seen in this city this season. This
is owing TO the small attendance, not on
account OF lack of enthusiasm but or
proper facilities and accommodations.

came from New BEDFORD that the players
of the Providence club had refused TO

asked TO go down TO New Bedford Tues
dav night, but were told that their SER

The hall on Stokes street is very small
and the largest number which IL would
hold Is 600 which will not pay expenses
Whmen at the opening game there were
over 200 people turned away. IL looked
very much like a paying venture.
The place is so short that the centre
player and both rushers are right on top
OF the goal the greater part OF the time
IL is so narrow that it is next to impossi-
BILE for a player TO take possession OF a
ball and keep IL for long
Manager McCusker stated that IL was
impossible TO get hall down town
where roller skating would be permitted
Music Hall has just had new floor laid

Owing TO the inclemency of the weather
and the fact that the language spoken
in the piece is known only TO the Yid-
dish speaking people and a very few
others, the attendance was very slim in
deed.
IT was drama with music. written by
Prof. Jacob. and the story was one Of
those human tales 50 we'll interpreted by
this company. Ii was pathetic and even
tragic at times and the musical solos
and several dances interspersed I'm the
several acts did much TO brighten the
inclination to extreme seriousness
Each individual character was seeming
~ well placed and as usual the work
OF Mr.. Kessler and Nine. I.ipzin stood
out foremost. Mr.. Goldstein's interpre-
tation as the rich merchant was a clever
bit OF work. All In all the cast IS deserv
ing OF great praise.
