 In very well played game of polo at the Qunniplac rink last night the New Haven team snatched victory from their rivals from Pawtucket in the last minute of play and to George Bone, the manager and captain of the local team all credit for the victory should be given. for it was through his drive the whole length of the rink. that the contest was decided.

 The game started off i'm a whirl- wind fashinn when Warner snatchcd the first rush from Cunningham. and after three minutes pf play our crafty
 first rush shot the bah by Ramon, The first rush was tho ony one that Warner succeeded in capturing in the first period, as his opponent reached tho spot first during the remainder of the fifteen minutes. Warner however. came back strong in tho second and third periods and finally succeeded in securing six out or the fourteen rushes.
 George Bones playing was also a feature of the evenings performance. and the dashing manner in which our second rush passed the sphere and bomhardnd Ramon of the visitors. brought forth man, cvprcssions of ap- proval from tho LoO1 fans that lined the benches. Tn the second period he was defrmded of an almost sure goal when skating down the rink without Pawtuaket player before him eycpp.- ing the goal tend, Wiley, the visiting center hooked his stick under Georges arm anu threw him to the floor For this Mir Wiley was cred lied with ono Of the two fouls taat Roaring Rod Rortv was compelled to give, tho other going to Cameron. who forgetting that he was playing polo started to catch the ball vith hls hands.
