Take their Tin Horns Hsme Again.
The excitement caused by tho clever work
done by the New York and jersey City Polo
Clubs during the past two weeks brought out a
large crowd OF enthusiasts last night to soc
these two clubs play a championship game at
the Harlem Rink. Fully one-third OF the spec
tators were from Jersey City. So sure were
they that their team could do" the New
Yorks that they fortified themselves with large
tin horns with which to FIRE o salute In honor OF
the victory. They did not fear to back their
f~syorites with even money, either. The ease
with which the home team won the game
caused tho tin horns to be useless and the
pockets Of the Jerseymen to be emptied.
The game for the first two or three goals was
well played on both sides, with the odds slight
y In favor Of tho hons team: Then the Wis,
had but little trouble, in driving, the goals
about as they pleased. During the seventh
