and Saltpeter.
 San Francisco, Jan. 2.-Passengers and officers who arrived by the Kos mos liner Neko brought news of great Japanese activity at IGuiaue, Chile, They say the Japanese government is buying up all the saltpeter available in Chile and also that great stocks of yucca, which grows in great profusion in the Sahara region near Iquique, are sent by every steamer to Japan. A line of fast steamers of about 5000 tons register has been put on between Japan and Iquique, and, according to reports heard at ports along the coast, these steamers are taking full cargoes of saltpeter and yucca on every trip.

EVENING GAMES.

Hartford, Jan 2.-Hartford's polo team, which is soon to become Bos- tons, showed its superiority over New Britain in a very apparent man ner in the Capitol Park rink last evening. While it was quite cool in the rink and if the floor had been flooded the boys could have placed upon ice, there was nothing chilly about the game, for it was a slap dash affair from the start. Before the first period was over Warner of New Britain clashed with Suther- land, the local goal guardian, and when the referee looked that way he saw Sutherland handing out some nice short hooks to the jaw. He promptly called a foul on the goal tend. Later in the evening Schiffer tried to take ride around the rink on the neck of Long John Wiley. The tall one shook his mane and the New Britain rusher went about twelve feet, finally landing near the cage. The referee didn't see this one, but there was no occasion to call foul as Wiley couldn't be blamed for refusing to turn himself into an express wagon.
 But the scientific plays that really got the bugs by the ears and started the Hey Rube" yell was when Bobby Hart and Juno Jean came to- gether. The faint-hearted ones feared for the safety of the floor when these giants came together. At one time Hart had scissors hold upon the New Britain captain, and in the next mixup Jean got a half Nelson upon Hart. After buckling into each other in fine shape they were as meek as two little lambkins when the referee came up to make inquiries about the fuss. Each claimed the other was to blame and was ready to cross his heart that no harm was intended. >"Fine on each" was the decision of Judge Leahy.
 Hartford outplayed its opponents in the second round and while New Britain made the first goal, Hartford followed with three in a row, like the roses in Mary's garden. And then came the wind-up. The teams shook hands, figuratively, of course, and then leaped into the fray like bloodh0unds. New Britain was able to make but one more score while Hartford made two. The summary: Hartford. New Britain. Lincoln ..... Rush ..... Duggan Hart ........ Rush ..... Warner Wiley ...... Center ....... Jean Coggeshall .. Halfback ..... Toner
 Substitute, Schiffer for Duggan: score. Hartford ', New Britain 3; fouls, Sutherland, Hart, Jean; rush. es, Lincoln 6, Duggan s. Schiffer 1, tie l.; stops, Sutherland 56, Mitchell 70: referee. Leahy: timer. Perkins.
