POLO PONIES RACE IN THE RAIN.
GOOD SPORT AT THE MEETING OF THE QUEENS
AND SUFFOLK COUNTY CLUB.

AND SUFFOLK COUNTY CLUB.
Polo pony racing is an interesting sport but when
the rain falls necessarily. and Is accompanied by a
chill wind that gets right into the OF peoples
bones. the discomfort one suffer- detracs somewhat
from the pleasure Of the thing. The Queens and
suffolk County Club has been peculiarly unfortunate
regards weather for It's meetings and at that
held yesterday afternoon 1t was. II anything more
distinctly uncomfortable than usual. The track
a Of muddy water. and the riders were so be
daubed with 1t that at the close of each race their
beat friends lad difficulty in recognizing them.
The riders. the women and the members OF the club
who live within short distance OF Huntington were
the ohcs that most enjoyed the sport for their spirits
were not dampened by a long and tedious journey i'll
IN inaGerabT slow train. Tho clubhouse and
grand stand did not present a CAV appearance for the
hnery that had been "sported' for the day con-
oealod beneath quiet maclintoshes. 1t was lively
crowd. however, and close finishes were roundly
applauded. There was no betting.
