4 GREAT POLO SEASON.
HANDICAP ENCOURAGES NovICEs.
RANK OF TEAMS AS DETERMINED BY
THEIR RMANCEs-PoPULAR-
ITY OF THE SPORT.

The polo season of 1900. Just closed, has In many
respects been the most remarkable OF any IN the
history Of the sport in this country. The eastern
schedule included ninety contests. as compared
with seventy-ve last and forty-fve in 1885, VI
the ninety games listed. fourteen were played pS
teams rated alike under the handicap or the Foio
Association, showing disposition on the part OF
several clubs to form mixed scratch teams ana
try conclusions on even basis Twelve games
were open to all and without the application OF the
handicap system. thus affording the pubic oppol-
tunities greater than heretofore to judge OF tne
playing strength of of the leading teams oy
goals actually earned. Especially noticeable mas
been the good effect of the American handicap sys-
TEN and the encouragement it lends to novices' by
its aid several young teams have been enabled 10

opposed to what considered strong organiza-
tions 1t was the first half of this years circuit
that kept the followers of the sport guessing the
most astonishing reversas Of form occurring before
the meridian passed.
The noteworthy feature of the season was
the fixing of the open championship events in the
middle instead of at the end of the circuit For
this commendable change of programme the players
and lovers of the game have to thank George j.
Gould who to-day, by reason of his Eberality and
enthusiasm is acknowledged to be a leading patron
of the sport The championship games were set for
the latter end of June and the early part of July,

and efrectuaily squelched the championship winners
from Dedham, beating the latter three unies-once
the fiat at Narragansett once after allowing the
Dedhamites a goal in hand at Hamilton and finally
when the handicap even at Karlstein As a
matter OF fact these two teams have anorded sport
of the exciting thrilling quality throughout
this season. and have kept at 1t, hammer and tongs
through fine weather and drenching ranstorms.
At Narragansett the Westchester team took
honors over Philadelphia and Myopa on two occa-
sicns thus saving the clubs reputation The Ded-
ham second team especially distinguished itself on
the Myopia field and the first Dedham organtZa-
ton gave Point Judith handful of goals and came

On their own ground the Buffalo players showed

HAPPY MEETING IN THE STUDIO.
His love for Dorothy Gilbert had
long ago passed into memory. He
was married now and had a wife and
children whom he dearly loved. But
as Faith went on and made her errand
to him clear he thought back in silent
wonder at that time when Malcolm
Kirk had crossed the ocean with him
and he had thoughtlessly made the
sketch which meant so much now to
more than one person.
.'And I've come here now" continued
Faith as she concluded the story of her
experiences, ito see if you would give

There was look of embarrassment
on the faces of Raleigh and Stanley,
but Malcolm Kirk settled the matter by
saying, as he took Faiths arm and led
her out of the studio:
Don't be alarmed. gentlemen! l will
speak for the dinner. Faith can make
palatable dinner out of bread and

WILD BEASTS I'M CATTLE.
Two Painters and a Sea Lion In q
Fight to the Death.

Among all fights of wild beasts per-
haps the most terrible are those in
which the combatants belong to differ
ent elements. The struggle then seems
peculiarly wanton and unnatural. Not
long ago two men on small island Off
the Californian coast declare that they
witnessed such battle. Tie men
were amusing themselves watching
the antics of number of sea lions on
a reef when all at once the creatures
began to below in alarm and dived
into the water. One huge fellow alone
stood his ground and moved his head
slowly, as if watching.
A moment later the men saw creep
Ing from the shadow of rock two
swum over from the mainland in
search of prey.
simultaneously the panthers leaped
upon their enemy and a terrible COM
bat ensued. For nearly 80 minutes 1T
went on, till the reef was skirted with
crimson foam.
Twice the lion struck panther
squarely with his clipper and knocked
him dozen feet away. But the great
cats kept to their work, and finally one
of them buried his teeth in a tlipper OF
the sea lion and tore it off with a sin
gle savage tug.
Believing hoarsely with pain and an
ger, the wounded bull caught the
panther's throat between its jaws ana
dragged him into the water, but the
big brute was weak from loss Of blood
The panther escaped, and, with its
mate, swan off for the mainland
across the narrow channel, while the
sea lion struggled out toward the oceal
to die.
The men went down to examine the
field of battle. A hole deep enough t.

ponteness mat brought the color TO
Faiths cheek, and for a moment they
stood facing each other in silence.
Then Raleigh brought chair, and
Faith sat down, while the artist look
ed at her with great and increasing in
terest
g! suppose you have come to take
me to task for painting this picture
he said. sit was in one sense very
bold thing for me to do. think, how
ever, your father will forgive me. L
am sure he will when he knows all
about my reasons for doing it." He
spoke in tone that made Faith feel
somehow that the picture had had a
real influence on the life of the artist,
as indeed it had, and the telling of it
at another time revealed the fact that
Francis Raleigh had gone through an
experience of moral struggle that had
left him also victor in overcoming.
Pm sure father would be pleased"
said Faith slowly. Then she paused.
for suddenly one of her shy spells
came over her and she did not know
how to go on. For the first time she
seemed to feel as if perhaps her err
rand would be considered unusual.
"What can do for you?" said
Raleigh. He spoke in a way that re-
moved Faiths shyness at once. If it
had not been for that she would have
gone away without telling him what
she had come for.
"Of course" he continued, 81 am
wondering every minute how you hap
pened to come in here, for your home
Is in Kansas, isn't it? and r.
''Will you let me tell how l happen
ed to be here?" said Faith, feeling
more confident in her errand. II shall
have to tell it before you will under
stand why | have come"
Eyes, tell me your story" said Ra-
leigh, smiling encouragingly. So Faith
related her experience in the photogra-
piers studio and her present place Of
work at the Fultons', whereat Francis
Raleigh opened his eyes little, but
he continued to listen in sympathetic
silence.

Ell TO the picture, and still his grea,
brown eyes rested on Malcolm Stanley,
who was standing there pale and ex-
cited
Raleigh took Kinks hand and shook
it heartily. He then turned quickly to
Stanley
"You ought to know this gentleman,
Mr.. Kirk. You met him before 1 did"
Kirk stepped toward Stanley. Both
men were deeply moved.
''You We're with my mother when she
died. Mr.. Kirk" said Stanley in voice
that trembled little.
eff we were Russians we would en-
brace each other now" cried Malcolm
Kirk, "but as you are an Englishman
and l am an American l suppose
handshake is the nearest we can get to
it,
AS he said it he grasped Stanley's
big palm, which went out to meet his,
and Raleigh said afterward he was
sure he heard the bones snap, but ne-
Their man WINGED.
'The heart goes with it," said Mall
com Stanley, admiring Kirk out of his
honest face with loving look.
Kirk drew back a little and gazed at
the stalwart young figure. Then he
glanced ut the painting.

of holding you in my arms now, as
did then But, as l remember, you
were very good baby"
$50 he is now" said Raleigh, who
had turned his face toward the easel
to hide his emotion.
That made Faith laugh, and the rest
joined her. and the tension of feeling
broke, and they all grew more at ease.
For several minutes questions and an
swers flew fast in the now darkening
studio.
Father, you must give an account OF
| yourself. The rest of us know how we
came to be here. But your presence is
a mystery said Faith, drawing up
closer to him.
well, my dear, it was your letter
that brought me-"
"My letter."
Eyes, the one you wrote Sunday

Faith laughed. Then she passed he
