THE PRELIMINARY GAME.

In the preliminary contest the Hamilton Parks and the Company G poloists had a warm contest. The Hamiltons proved superior in pass ing and in rushing and they kept Lou Cronin busy trying to keep the ball out of his cage. He became so excited that he committed a foul in the goal circle which cost his team goal. After Dews had caged the first ball for Company G, Harvey of the Hamilton Parks showed how he could play the game and he put in the four goals for his team. Spell man of the G team scored the last goal for either side. The lineup and

THE GAME WAS
 EASY LAST NIGHT
Bridgeport Proved a Snap For the Local Players New Britain
 and Hartford Won.

For the first ten minutes of the game last night the big crowd of spectators was treated to fast and exciting polo contest. It was nip and tuck between the Bridgeports and the locals until Murray snapped one in after the teams had been play ing ten minutes and sixteen seconds. He repeated the trick when there was but ten more seconds of the period to play. After that period there was. nothing to 1t but Water bury, and 1t was only question of keeping Bridgeport from scoring even a goal. Murray caged three goals in the second period, while all Bridgeport could do was to try and play rough house, particularly Whip pie. who would have been credited with many fouls had professional referee been in charge of the game. George E. Harrington was the official in charge and he evidently made up his mind to let the fouls go un- noticed. Whipple acted like a big kid and for man that pretends to have the reputation of a fast polo player he was decided failure. He made himself so obnoxious to the fans that they guyed him all through the game. and once lemon came his way but missed him and the lemon was caged for good luck. In the last period Waterbury took things easy, Juggling the ball just about as they pleased. This probably accounted for the one goal made by Bridgeport. The guarding of the cage was left entirely to Sutton, while the other local players were having fun with the ball. Duggan, the fast little rush for Bridgeport, saw his chance and after twelve minutes and twenty-two seconds of playing had been done, he shot the ball behind Sutton for the first and only goal of the visitors. A little over minute and one-half later Loxson shot in our last goal. The lineup and summar:

PRLCE OF PROGRESS.

An interesting illustration of the price which
progress sometimes exacts from its benehciarie~
has been given this week in the operation OF
trains at the Hobokeu terminal Of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad. For a year or two that read
has been engaged in rebuilding its terminal
on plans which for commodiousneSs. utility and
beauty seem to leave little to be desired. Much
well deserved admira ton has been bestowed
upon it for the dexterity and success with which
it has been able to execute so vast and comph-
Gated an enterprise with So little interference
with the regular running Of trains and the
comfort and convenience of passengers. The
crowning achievement as is supposed, has been
/ the installation of a electrical switching
system in the train yards described as the most
ingenious and efficient in the world.
The adoption of that system. however, seemed
to be selected by some perverse fate as the oc-
casion for making the patrons OF the road pay
the price of progress. 1t was intended TO render
the arrival and departure of trains more resu-
lar expeditions and safe. In fact however,
it caused in the first two three days of its
adoution probably more disturbance of traffic,
DELAY of trains and inconvenience 30 passengers
! than had occurred in many years before.
There was what seemed like a general and COM
plete disorganiZatiOn of service. Trains were
sent out in the most irregular manner. from half
an hour TO an hour late. and thousands of pas
Sengers, after being kept standing on platforms
for such Il time, and in some cases being
marched about from one platform TO another
and even from one train to another, were finally
deposited at their destinations from an hour to
two hours late
1t is an old saying that you cannot make an
omelet without breaking eggs. So great improve
ments apparently, cannot be made without
the exaction of price penalty at some point
in the process. In the nature Of the case the
work of application and to some extent of eX-
pertinent must be done on the very tracks and
/ trains which the public is constantly using The
public wants the latest improvements, and the
roads must supply them, and in doing so must
avoid disaster, even though the alternative be
at times tiresome delay When new switch
ing system is being applied, the working OF
which is not yet fully assured. it is better TO
have the 5:O5 train go out at 5:s5 III safety than
to send it on time and have smash. 1t is
really one of the wonders Of the world that
such works as those at Hoboken and the new
Bergen tunnel and at the Grand Central Sta
ton can be and have actually been carried on
with so little inconvenience to the public. To
perform them with complete suspension Of train
traffic would be q great undertaking. To per-
form them with all the trains running approx
imates closely to the miraculous

TIE yOBEL SCIENTIFIC PRIZES.

Although the Nobel prizes are not formally
awarded until December 10. it has been def
nitely known for several days to whom two of
those which are bestowed for scientific achieve
ment are to 90 this year, and credible rumor
is current concerning the third.
Last year Americans had the satisfaction of
seeing their Chief Magistrate receive a NOBEL
prize for his service TO the cause OF international
amity Now, for the first time, one of their
fellow countrymen is similarly honored for re-
search and invention Professor Nicholson. Of
Chicago, really has q double claim on the
gratitude of physicists. His spectroscope
which is several years old, furnished a new
and superior means of analyzlng light, and he
has recently devised an improved method of
measuring its velocity. If neither Of these con-
trbutions to the science OF optics appeals
strongly TO the popular imagination, 1t may be
safely assumed that Professor Micbelson's pro-
fessional brethren will feel that he has not been
unduly rewarded
Sir William Crookes, on whom the prize for
service 10 chemistry has been bestowed, has
made many discoveries and recommendations
which have given him distinction. One of his
suggestions, which has not yet been carried into
effect, through experiments either by himself
or bv those who have acted under his inSpira-
ton is that a cheap fertilizer might be OBJ
tanned by utilizing atmospheric nitrogen. Much
progress has. however. been made toward the
realization of Sir Williams hopes. and if the
present promise of success is eventually full
filed a great boon will be conferred both on
those who raise grain and those who consume
it Some of the most notable work done by
Sir William lies in the realm OF physics rather
than In that of chemistry His investigation
OF phenomena inside of an electrified vacuum
tube has led other men-Rontgen among them
to study effects outside of the tube. Indeed,
the discovery Of rays, which was purely ac-
cidental but for which the Wurzburg professor
received q Nobel prize in 1901, was clearly
consequence OF Sir Williams revelations. 1t is
particularly gratifying to notice that Nobel's
representatives have construed in liberal
nize recent" achievements Those for which
Sir William is now honored date back a good
many years but il would have been pity If
they had not been as highly esteemed at Stock
holm as the work of Sir William Ramsay. who
received a Nobel prize in 1901
If, as is reported, the medical prize goes TO

TARIFF ON PRESS PAPER
Message Indicates that Newspaper Publish
ers' Committee Misunderstood President

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The Tribune of November printed a dispatch
from Washington. dated November I. saying that
president Roosevelt to-day indicated to members
of the committe paper OF the American News
paper Publishers Association that he will recon-
mend to Congress the abolition of the tariff on press
paper, wood pulp and the wood that goes into tn a
manufacture of paper" But IL now appears that
the committee misunderstood President Roosevelt
for though his message to Congress of to-day does
say that there should be tariff on any forest
product grown in this country, and In especial
there should be no tariff wood pulp" that mes
sage does not contain any statement unfavorable
TO the present tariff press paper Inasmuch
as there has not, during the last seventeen years
at least, been any tariff the wood that goes into
the manufacture Of paper and which is commonly
called pulp wood the present small tariff on wood
pulp does not operate to protect owners of An1erf-
can forests or of American paper mills from Ca
madam competition.
