WITH THE AMATEURS.
Breezy Meeting Last Night Which
 Ended in a Love Feast,

It was hot and stormy session
 that the managers of the Amateur
 Polo league engaged in at their
 regular meeting held last evening. All the managers, together with the
 oficial referee and timekeeper, took
 an active part in the discussions and 1t was not until the members dis persed for their homes that the trouble was over.
 The whole affair was the result
 of the Benedict & Burnham and the Second Ward game last Tuesday
 evening when the Second Wards won from Benedicts by a score of to 3. There was much talk of a protest
 and when Manager Curley of Bene-
 dict and Burnhams appeared last
 evening he had all his armor with
 him and was prepared to see that his team got square deal. He entered
 his protest and then the fun started. The officials and Manager Curley
 together with a couple of other man. agers told their story over and over again and it looked as if the meeting would not be over in time for the games this evening but suddenly one of the managers arose from his seat and made motion that the referees decision be final, this was quickly seconded by another member and when Mir Curley finally saw that he was whipped he sided in with the crowd and made the vote unanimous to uphold the referee in his decision. In this the managers arc upholding their rules as the referee was given instruction at a previous meeting that all first games must be called at s:15 and that five minutes be al- lowed for overtime games. The ref cree called the game at about six teen minutes after and as the score was a tie he gave them until 20 min- utes after to finish. Tn just 57 sec onds of the overtime the Second Wards caged goal and this made the score to and defeated the Benedict & Burnham team.
 A committee composed of Manag- CTS Curley and Cronan were appoint- ed to draw up rules for all future games and these rules will be acted on at the next meeting.
 Beginning tonight the first game must start at 7:40 and will be call ed at s:15. in case of a tie five min utes of overtime will be allowed. The second game will start at SEQ and will end at g o'clock. five minutes to be allowed for overtime games

We were playing in Colorado one night stands, and we struck g small town in tho mining country. It showed all day, and at night you could not see q foot ahead for the binding storm. Some how the members of the company reached the theater and then waited for the audience to come. In about an hour man entered and took seat near the door. A consultation was held back of the scenes, and was se- lected to go out and explain the situa- tion to the audience. I stepped in front of the curtain and, clearing my throat, said:
 Sir, am glad to see that the storm did not keep you away. We have de- cided to leave to you the question of whether we will have the show or not.

INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL.
Scotland Defeats Wales at Rugby Af-
 ter Close Match.

The twenty-third annual match be- tween Wales and Scotland took place recently at Iverleith, Scotland, in the presence of 10000 persons. Wales used the new formation of seven for wards after the style of the South Africans, while Scotland stuck to the old method of eight. The plan did not work so we'll for the Welshmen, for Scotland always held them and got the ball clear all the time.
 Winfield, one of the best Welsh players, was hurt early in the game and was forced to retire At half time the score was in favor of Wales. It being one penalty goals points to nothing. In the second half Scotland made two tOuchdowns-8 points and Wales failed to score. Thus the final score was: Scotland points; Wales, 8 points. Out of the 23 match es played Scotland has won 13, Wales 9 and one was a tie.

WHERE MANKIND IS KING.
Gift of Speech Puts Him in Class by
 hIm4eIf

Gift of Speech Puts Him in Class by
 Himself.
 The gift of speech is the last proof of Divine favor, in virtue of which mankind has the rest of the animal kingdom faded, and stands in a class by himself.
 Some beasts are stronger than men, and some know more, but no beast can be such bore as man, nor can any beast slop over. in the true sense of the term. These distinctions we owe to the gift of speech.
 The gift of speech, moreover, lays us under compulsion to read a great many things which otherwise we would not, in order that when we have nothing to say, we may neverthe- less say something. Thus we promote the publishing business, create de- mand for wood pulp, assist in the de- forestation of the earth's surface, stir up a new school of kickers, increase discontent and contribute, at length, to progress and petulance.
 Our ancestors used to consider speech a means of conceallng thought, but we have nothing to conceal Puck,

Wolf RaIded sheepfold.

George B. Israel. who lives on the farm of Sherif Samuel Parks, in John- son township, Brown county, thought his sheep were being killed by Oscar Ault's dog. Israel went to the Ault home armed with gun, where he in- tended to kill the sheepkilling dog. A fight took place between the two men. and after they had paid their fines before Justice Robinson of John son township they learned that he had just trapped large timber wolf.
 The neighbors immediately made friends and decided that the wolf had been killing the sheep instead of the dog, as supposed. The pelt of the dead wolf was taken to Nashville. Numerous wolf tracks have been found in Johnson township, and number of farmers are looking for other wolves which they believe have been visiting sheepfolds.-Columbus cores pondence Indianapolis News.

A EAST DRAW.

One of the cleanest bouts ever fought before the Danbury Athletic club was the one there last night be- tween Jack Smith of Brooklyn and Jeff Doherty of New Haven. Doher- ty was heavier and stronger than his opponent. but Smith had a way of eluding Jeff's paralyzing curves that was something marvellous.
 Smith landed some terrific jabs in Doherty's stomach and under the heart which made the New Haven boy turn pale with apprehension. In one of the first rounds Doherty sprained a ligament in his hand which impeded his hammering power. The bout was declared draw at the end of the tenth round.
 Smith will challenge the winner of the bout between Doherty and Mosey King, which will be held in New Ha- ven two weeks from last night.

POLO WHITES.

We go to third place. John Allen made good last night.
 Bridgeport is after the pennant red hot.
 The season will not close until April 6, so says Secretary Peet.
 We won't stay in third place, Bridgeport, so you had better pre- pare to oust New Britain out of that first position.
 New Haven comes here tonight with all her new players. Water bury will give her a. royal welcome and a beating. to make everything look pleasant to the fans.
 Talk about going polo crazy, the fans down in Bridgeport have got the frenzied finance gag skinned a mile. They can't see anything but Bridge port in the race now.
 The race grows more interesting and New Britain is getting palpita- tion of the heart, This runaway game that Bridgeport is putting up IS causing apprehension in the Hanna camp for certain.
 Wallingford under the new regime put up fast article of polo last night and had the players been &C., customed to each other New Haven might have bitten the dust. That bunch needs to be watched from now on.
 John Allen has record as the only goal tender, playing the goal posi- tion. that has made one of the balls enter the netting and stay there. He accomplished that last night in the game against New Haven.
 Waterbury fans have always been loyal and you will find them on hand tonight just as usual. roofing for the home players. and when the last bell rings we may have taken the second position once more. You can't keep a good thing down.
 We must beat New Haven tonight If We have to muzzle the referee, per- haps blindfold him would be better. We cannot afford to let any more vic- tories escape us. All up for Water bury, will be the cry of the rooters from now to the end of the season.
