In tho last period, however, tthe ap- pcarance of Bone in place of Freeman inspired the players and for that period with the exception of the first minute or two both teams fought and slashed for naught. This stage of the game formed a most interesting period fo' the spectators enlivened the somewhat drowsy feeling enkindled amongst the players and put New Haven on an equal footing with New Britain and gave the local fans a new confidence in the local aggregation.
 Gardner was not in this city last ev- ening and therefore his place on the Elm City team was filled by Wood, the old Bridgeport halfback All the other players were in the game.
 Previous to the regular game the young New Havens and the Rivals had the use of the rink and fought away fir nearly an hour The Rivals proved stronger than their opponents and won by a good margin.
 The New Bri.ain-New Haven game was called by Referee Doherty about twenty minutes of nine. Mccarthy reached the haE almost as soon as tht official dropp'o it from his hand ant sent 1t swerving towards Allen, New Brltaln's goal It was just half a min. ute afterwards that New Ravens firs rush caged the first goal of the game The fans rose in a body, yelling ant spplauding.
 Mccarthy again showed himself ever on the spot by again getting the rush. Then for two minutes and forty five seconds it was slashing at New Haven's goal and continual stopping 1 by Mullen The latter was equal tt | the emergency in nearly every case At one time, however, Schiller drove the ball just inside the cage Muller kicked 1t out just in time, but ther kicked it in again,
 Tn the first period Mullen made nine teen of his forty-four stops. The Nev Britain rushers played all around tn New Haven forwards in passing ant in their drives for the goal, Allen, Nev Brtain's goal tender, whenever 1t wa necessary to stop the ball when l came within the danger zone, per formed splendidly, making all kinds o sensational stops. The fight betweel Woods and Devlin, the two opposinl halfbacks, was a comedy Both mel worked hard and were continual, bucking each other. They were alway together and both put up splendid ex hibitions.
 Jeans and Schiller for New Britail were the honor men of the secon, A period. Their offensive work was yer, marked. Their passing was of the sen satlonal order and their drives straigh and true. Mullen proved weak durin the first few minutes of play in thi period. Warner and Jeans making eas goals. After Schiller had made Ney Britain's fourth goal in the secon period Bone called Freeman from th game and went In in place of Freeman tfe was loudly cheered by the fans.
 After Bone's appearance the locs team seemed to take a brace and pu spirit into the game. Bone himself wa the leading light and was everywher at once. He followed the bah fror one end of the rink to the other an proved a thorn in the side of the Ne7 Britain aggregation, Had he playe the entire game It might have been different story.
