will need but little guiding with the rein or
pulling up with the bit At one tim, polo
was looked upon as a very dangerous game,
likely to injure horses, owing to the abrupt
checks and starts required Of them and the
knocks from the stick
But 1t Is found In practice that, II player
In, to begin with--as, Of course, he should DO
able to ride fairly well, there is no danger
OF accidents. Ponies do not suffer, as Is sup
pcsed, from the apparently cruel sport
Many have been known TO win very good
races, when put into training for the winter.
But it is very necessary tor beginners TO take
care how they make stroke nihen there arc
several ponies together punched, SO to speak,
as 1t would be an easy matter to give knock
out blow to a comrade or pony.
II q player is before his side," that is, II
he is In front Of the player Of his own side
who has hit the ball, he Is ''off side" or
sneaking, and out Of the game. He does not
become ION his side" until the ball Is hit, or
hit at, on the opposite side, or until the
player, on his own side who makes the hit
passes him. As long as the player remains
''off aide" he has no right TO hit the ball or
interfere with the opposing players
The use Of the left hand In welding the
stick and striking with II would, II acquired
at the start, give great advantage to any
one who devoted little attention to this
Il would also teach a most useful lesson In
riding with the birdie in the right hand A
very good way for improving at polo is to
use frequently pair OF Indian clubs These
develop the wrists, making them both strong
and supple, and II becomes easier TO strike,
not only accurately, but with speed and con.
fdence.
The back hit, which Is made by turning
the elbow and knuckles downwards and
swinging the hand down sharply from near
the shoulder past the knee, cannot be learned
By usFsly pgsctcing during the game. The

The First Carrinxes.

When carriages were first used In England
they were called "whirlcotes" and were used
only by the ladies' The whirlcote became
Questionable after Queen Anne showed the
fashionable ladies Of London how gracefully
a woman could sit on a side saddle. Coaches
were known In England in l530, they having
been introduced from Germany by the Earl
Of Arundel They came into general use
among the nobility about the year 1905 The
Duke Of Buckingham was the first to ride in
. coach drawn by SIX horses To ridicule
this pomp the Earl Of Nottingham put eight

modern livery stables, first became the fash
Ion in L,ldon in 1925. There were only
twenty Of them altogether at the princi-
pal inns. Exchange

nearly like the old game Of "hockey," !"
or ''shinny," which every true American
boy plays at some period Of his life, that one
might term II scientific shinny. The game
differs, however, from shinDy In one import
ant feature--it 10 played ON horseback, or
rather on ponyback. The regulation height
Of the pony Il fourteen hands
The ground required for this sport should
be larger in size than field which would do
for shinny. It should be Of level turf without
swampy places; in fact, as level a. q baseball
ground. A space Of 100 yards In length by
20 yards In width Is about the smallest that
can be used, and it Is vastly better IL a
ground twice the size can be secured. The
rule IL that the goals be not less than 250
yards apart. In the middle Of It, at each Of
the two ends, are placed the goal posts, each
goal being yards wide, and It is the object
to drive the ball between tho posts marking
the opponents goal. One great attraction
to polo, which has made 1t 50 popular, Is to
be found in the horsemanship which Is re-
quired Of the players, as well as their quick
ness and accuracy in hitting the ball. Al
times player interposes his pony before his
antagonist so as to prevent reaching the ball.
1t Is an exciting and at times quite danger
Gus game. IL calls for perfect horseman
ship, well trained and speedy ponies, nerve
and self possession, fearlessness even to reck-
lessness, and quick Judgment.
Rider and beast must not only thoroughly
understand each other, but must also pull
together. Like In football, team work Is in.
dispensable. There are sudden stops and even
more sudden starts. There are sharp chases
and hard, breakneck riding with quick turns
and wheelings. The opportunities for skill In
the saddle and with the arm are many and
brilliant. 10 stick is dropped, the player

He prevailed upon the nobleman to lift
himself up and down while hanging to the
top Of the door, first showing him how to do
it, and explaining the benefits of the exercise
very scientifically. Then he ran down stairs,
called Sothern out Of the parlor, and told
him the young lord had gone mad and was
trying to climb over the walls of the room.
He said Fitzroy imagined that he Florepce)
was going to kill him. Sothern begged Flor
ence to 60 back and see that the lord did not
hurt himself, and said he would follow in an
instant. Then Florence rushed up stairs and
Insisted that his lordship should repeat the
healthf-l exercise. Fitzroy was springing up
to CATCH the top Of the door, and pulling him
self frantically up and down, when Sothern
came up, seized him and begged him earnest
ly TO be calm assured him no one meant to
harm him, and tried to lead him to a bedroom
to wait until q physician came to give him q
soothing draught 1t took five minutes to
explain to the young nobleman just how the
Joke had been arranged.
For many years Florence has formed one Of
group Of jolly old chaps, which has included
the late Lawrence, or Larry" Jerome,
Capt William NJ. Connor. Col. Thomas Ochil-
tree and a half score of other good patured
wags. 1t Is worth any fun loving mans while
to attend one Of the frequent Delmonico or st.
James hotel dinners, says an old issue Of The
New York Sun, when these wags are invited,
and hear them tell Of the amazing and elab.
crate practical jokes they have known to be
played by one another on one another.
The most peculiar fact about them is that
they are never angry at being the butts of a
joke or the subjects Of the stories that are
told about it afterward. They will travel
several hundred miles in a body to make
things lively for Mr.. Florence while he Is
playing on the stage and though the country
audience, where some one Of them Is taken
with well simulated fit, or where one gets
up In an orchestra seat and denounces the
star, may be considerably astonished, nobody
ever knew Mr.. Florence to demonstrate or
feel angry. Florence is Injured to experiences
Of this kind.

"A START.
must dismount and pick It up, but he cannot
strike the ball until again mounted. The
stroke Is made with a long stick or mallet,
which the rider holds In his right hand, as he
guides his pony with the left II he attempts
to 'dribbls" the ball the chances are that 1t
will be lost and overriden before 1t has been
taken as far as one good hit would send it.
Polo Is in this respect almost diametrically
opposite in Its system to shinny on the ice,
in which ''dribbling" IL the most important
part Of the game, and skill In keeping with
the ball and working 1t all over the pond 1,
the chief qualification Of first class player.
Two strikes are common In polo, the forward
and the back handed The latter Is extremely
useful when the ball Is rolling towards the
goal, and a player Of that side galloping after
it oyertakes it in time, and by one chance
back-hit sends it flying away far behind his
back to his friends. The chief requisites as
to the ponies are, that they should be swift,
both in Q straightforward course and at the
turn, afraid of nothing, and obedient to the
slightest movement Of ths rider These urs
perhaps rather heavy demands to make, and
in effect good polo pony should be worth
much higher sum than he brings in the
market.
1t can be safely said that an animal which
Is really good for polo must be good for al
most anything else. Intelligence is absolute
ly essential in the pony, and it Is astonishing
with what rapidity and ease a Shetland pony,
or indeed one Of any other good breed, will
come to understand what is expected Of him
In the game. After q short time he will
learn to know Just what the rider means by
each slight pressure Of his hand or knees, and
