GAME LONG DRAWN OUT
Various Delays Occur to Keep from Ending Contest---"Wild Charlie" Farrell Docs Very Little
 Scalping.
NATIONAL POLO LEAGUE.
 lnmptnIh

Tn one of the longest most tiresome drawn out polo contests that local fol- lowers Of the sport have ever witnessed the New Haven team took a rather ex- citing game from Wild Charlie" Far rell and his bunch from Fall River last night at the Quinipiac rink. To do 1t however, an overtime period was re- qulred and then 1t took George Bone, the local second rush over ten minutes to put the ball by Cashman, the visit Ing goal tend,
 1 IL seemed as if the game would never end for after almost every goal had been caked "Fdo" sutton would have to retire to fix some part of his raj Iment or George Bone would become thirsty or some one of the visitors, either Cashman, Farrell or Higgins would think t necessary 10 leave the floor and hence a delay of several min utes would ensue
 When however the players got into the game they put up slashing ex- hibition of polo, the visiting quintet ex- ceiling in the manner in which they passed the ball from one to the other The home team players appeared too anxious to play an individual game and ] hence did not put up as good an exhi- bition as they might have
 "Fldo' Sutton played a very good game almost losing the game by be- coming oyeranxious and. leaving his cage to ward off the attack of Higgins and Farrell and then rewinning 1t by driving the ball the length of the rink caging goal thereby
 The first period was all the visitors and they succeeded in landing the only goal of the period in ten minutes. Tn the second period New Haven through the good work of Bone and Warner succeeded in caglng three goals while the visitors caged two thus tieing the score,
 Fall River started the third period in desperate fashion and caged the first goal in three minutes and forty five seconds. The locals then braced and after six seconds Bone drove the ball through Cashman who, crafty individual that he thought he was, hoohed it out again. Tommy Leahy was not to be fooled in the slightest and not the least bit feazed by "Wild Charlie" FarTell's threatening countenance gave the goal to New Haven.
 Then the overtime period in which the New Haven players seemed to partly recover their old time form Bone and Warner playing well to- gether while Sutton proved to be ] veritable stonewall of defense. After ten minutes however. Bone on a cleverly executed pass by Warner shot the ball through Cashman's legs for the deciding goal
 The much -heralded scalping of To. cal men by Wild Charlie" Farrel did not materiallze and he was caught mapping only twice by Leahy and once in the overtime period. The score fir detail follows:

PROGRESS OF AVIATION,

In less than two years the course
of an aeroplane has increased from
rs meters to nearly 20 kilos-that
is, in the proportion of 1 to 900. Ii
equally rapid progress continues, the
flight of 20 minutes recently accom-.
plished will be transformed into
more than $50 hours. According tc
that, it will be possible in two years
to make voyages of 20 days. But
without hoping to progress so far.
there is nothing extraordinary in
supposing that trips of several hours
and even of a day by aeroplane will
soon be a normal event.-Paris LIZ

BETTER TO INSTILL TRUTH
Parents Should Remember That Child
Is Unconsciously Influenced by
Surroundings.

In matters Of truthfulness, as
with all other virtues, a child is in
fiueneed unconsciously by his sur
roundings and by the example of
those older than himself. In an at
mosphere of truth a child gains a
respect for truth, and regards false
hood as a despicabIe shift. 1t is 9TH
crwise whore children hear their par
ents lie with unblushing %audacity,
and so great is the reverence of little
children for their parents that they
even look upon lying as a virtue,
since their parents set them the ex-
ample.
Thus, 10 train children in truth
fulness there must be parental ex-
ample. Small inaccuracies must be
corrected lest they develop into ex-
aggeration and lying. BY means Of
homely talks and anecdotes the
beauty and strength of truth might
be illustrated, and lying itself might
be shamed into allowance if it were
called by its proper name and not
disguised and softened under the
name of white lie, fb or crammer

OFF WITH THEIR TITLES.

Matte Sheridan, toastmistress of

ness for royalty and titles. She has
as many titled people as possible at
her Saturday night entertainments.
The baroness d'Bazus is often pres
ent. Once she had the Princess
Something or Other, the daughter
of Liliuokalani. The Countess Won
Booze Farra is also a guest at inter
walls. But woe be unto any of them
if they happen to offend the toast
mistress. The moment they do
their title is dropped and they are
snifliily introduced as plain Miss

CONNECTICUT BIRD PRESERVE.

Despite the fact that reports have
been circulated of late that the
commissioners Of fisheries and game
had secured 1000 quail from Okla
homa and would place them ON
Terry island, near Suifield, Commits
sioner George T. Mathewson said re-
Gently that nothing has been done
about buying any quail as yet. 1t is
true, however, that the use of the
island, which contains about 1876
acres, has been obtained by the COM
mission and it is very likely that a
preserve will be established there.
Until Is or 16 years ago the island
was inhabited by Clinton Terry, and
the house is still standing, and it
was from this place years ago that
a band of Second Adventists put on
their ascension robes and waited in
vain for the end of the world

TEMPERANCE AND BASEBALL.

Hal Chase, the famous first base

PIGEONS AND THE WIRELESS
Birds Are No Longer Used by British
Naval Authorities. TO Carry
Messages.

Wireless ~tclegraphy has displaced
the pigeon service in the British
navy, and the birds are being sold
at auction in London, Bristol and
Manchester.
Great care has been taken over
the selection and breeding Of these
birds and they have been subjected
to severe training, both afloat and
ashore. and in the air, in all kinds Of
weather. The maximum speed of a
homing pigeon is about 2,150 yards
q minute, SO that wireless telegraphY
is much quicker, and though mes
sages, like pigeons. are liable to be
intercepted, it must be acknowledged
that the odds are in favor of the
wireless.
It is doubtful whether, with all
the training pigeons have had, there
has been any increase of the speed
of flight during the past 1000 years.
With a stiff tail wind birds may fly
quicker than 2,100 yards a minute,
and there are records of birds cover
ing over 1000 miles at an average
speed of a fraction over 20 miles an
hour, but an expert is inclined to
think that pigeons have, on the
whole, deteriorated, despite the con-
%tinuous training, the flying clubs,
and many competitions which exist
to improve their breed and stamina.

NO INTIMATION AS
TO BEGINNING OF WORK
Plans and Specifications of the Sur
Vey of the Federal Lot Have Reached
the Department, But When Plans
Will Be Made Is Not Known.

The plans and specifications of the
survey of the Federal building lot. to-
gether with photographs of the lot af-
ter the removal of the auditorium,
were forwarded to Washington several
days ago by the postoffice officials in
this city.
From a conversation with Assistant
Postmaster A. E. Kernaghan, it is
learned that no steps have yet been
taken further than the survey. The
government architects will probably
begin work on the Hattiesburg post
office building before a great while,
just when is not known. There are
possibly number of buildings which
will be designed before Hattiesburg is
reached.
When the design for the building is
made, the government will advertise
for bids and let the contract.
In reference to the small triangular
slip of land claimed by Mr.. Dan McIn-
mis-, which begins at the alley near the
auditorium and runs to a point at
Pine street and along Forrest street,
it is understood that the government
will pay no attention to this claim.
The strip claimed is about four feet
and runs one hundred feet to a point.
not, of course, is not known at this
time, but the government bought the
entire lot and intends to occupy it. 1t
was purchased in good faith from
company of reputable business men
and it is not believed that Uncle
Sam will be bothered about the mat
ter.
