The weeks festivities will be opened on
Monday with a polo game between teams

team will play team G.
There will be no regular teams from the
South as was expected, but number of

will be some games in addition to those
between the Burlingame teams.
Polo has greatly improved at Burlingame
during the past year. Many new PLAYERS
have taken it up and several old players,
such as Hobart, Beylard and McCreery are
making their headquarters there.
The following are the three teams from
Burlingame: Team Al. S. Tobin, cap
tain; c. A. Baldwin, III. II. Henshaw and
P. d. Martin. Team B-W. s. Hobart,
captain w. P. A. Brewer, Perry P. Eyre
and Andrew B. McCreery. Team C-MaI-
colin Thomas, captain; Harold Wheeler,
H. r. Simpkins and E. B. Beylard.
There will be sent down lot of horses
and turnouts besides those to go in the
races and polo. The Burlingame, Baldwin,
and Hobart and other coaches and any
number of other rigs and animals will
help make the display of fine horsefesh
one of the most notable ever seen in Cali
sfornia.
The Country Clubs sport on the 3Oth
will as usual, be grand affair, and the
added attraction of polo and racing will
draw larger crowd than ever.
