LOST CLOSE GAME.
Hanna's New Team Wins Fast
 Contest by the Score of 4 to 3.
TOMMY LEAHY INJURED
Brilliant Goal-Tending by Bannon Saves the Day for New
 Britain.

The newly organized New Britain polo team defeated the New Haven quintet last night, in one of the fastest games of the season. It was a game such as the fans rejoice to watch, science was mixed with roughness, and the polo served up at times was o1 the git-edged order. The visitors in passing outplayed New Haven, but Bones boys were more aggressive in shooting for the cage. It was only the brilliant work of Bannon that saved the day for the Hartford suburbanites. His stops were of the sensational order, and his fine work was applauded from time to time Mullen, for the home responsible for at least two easy ones getting into the net. His work in the closing period of the game, however, was equal 10 that displayed by Bannoni and time and time again he saved his goal in a clever manner from the on- slaught of the visitors rushers Jean at center proved a stumbling block for Bone and Mccarthy, and although his work was not brilliant it was neverthe- less effective. Saunders on the other men as well as usual Mccarthy was quick on the rush and won seven out of the eleven. Lyon got bad cut above the eye, and Referee Leahy also met with bad accident, receiving a deep cut above the right eye. His re- turn to the floor with bandage around his forehead brought out a sympathet- ic outburst of applause. The first per iod ended with the score two to 0, in favor of New Britain. In the second period Mccarthy scored the only goal and early in the beginning of the last period he converted pass from Bone into a goal and tied the score amidst the greatest uproar. New Britain se- cured the next two and with seven minutes. to play Mccarthy placed an other goal to New Haven's credit. Play from then on became fast and furious and New Haven played hard to tie the score It was only Bannon's splen- did work that saved the day. The gong sounded without any further scoring and the crowd filed out of the rink regretting loss, but satisfied that they had seen a splendid game and got value for their money.

FIGHT OVER LARGE
ESTATE COMMENCED
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WANTS
HALF A MILLION.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The case In
volving the question Of the legal dom
icile Of Mrs. Ellen M. Cotton, who
died here in February leaving an es-
tate Of more than a million dollars,
was brought to trial before Judge
Barnard in the district supreme court.
In Mrs. Colton's will Helen M.
sacher. a great-granddaughter Of Mrs.
Cotton, was virtually disinherited.
while the bulk of the Cotton fortune
was left to John B. Dahlgren, who en-
d~eayored to have the will probated in
California. Miss Sacher Is attacking
the validity OF Mrs. Colton's viii.
claiming one-half Of the estate.
The first step in the case Is to es
tablish the domicile Of Mrs. Cotton
The statement Of Miss sacher's attor
ney was that Mrs. Cotton repeatedly
expressed her purpose in the early
COS to "shake the dust OF Californ1a
from her feet" and that she left GILL
fornia in 1898, feeling bitter over It'll
cation with relatives as to the dis
tribution Of some OF the estate left
by her husband, General D. D. Cotton
It is alleged that Mrs. Cotton re
sided in Washington almost contin
uously from 1898 until the time OF hel
death. and during that rSariod sht
spent only five weeks In anita Cruz
Cal.
