Edward Damon and Mr.. c. w.
Dfckey have been instrumental. in
creating an interest in the fashionable
game of the Englishman wherever he
may be, whether in England, America,
Australia or India. Invitations have
been sent out by Mr.. Damon to a
number of athletic young gentlemen,
who will meet him at the golf links
on the estate of Hon. s. MfDamon
and there form polo club. As most
of the Island boys are splendid horse
men, the game will be an exciting one
Polo has never been played in Homo
lulu, although to soma extent on the
Island of Maui. The players, four on
side, are mounted on ponies. By the
rules CT the New York Club the height
Of the ponies is limited to fourteen
hands, art the 'mallets" used must be
4 feet inches in length. The ponies
are "hog-maned." andksually have
their tails cut short Mis- style, how
ever. may not be adopted by the Ho-
nolulu Polo Club. AS a general thing
the game is rough one, and is usual
ly confined to the wealthier ones who
can affor dto keep mounts Polo, a
is we'll known, is something like the
old boys game of shiny or
hockey" played on horseback. Mr.
Damon anticipates successful start
being made today. 4.

N Do you know where Honeymoon
avenue is? 1t is not unlikely that
many are acquainted with the cottages
into which four recently married cou-
pies have hied themselves away within
the last few weeks, and it is said that
a fifth couple who have but lately
stood before the church altar, will
take up their residence In the last
remaining cottage on New Years eve.
This avenue of loving young couples
is a pretty little thoroughfare which
has it's beginning on King street near
Piikoi and formerly was known by
the common cognOmen OF Cottage
Grove. The cottages are cute little
affairs, just large enough to hold a
| newly married couple. For some rea-
son the cosy retreat has appealed to
the sentimental fancies of the brides
and grooms. The new name is said
to be appropriate, as most of the
couples are spending their honey
moons there, not having gone abroad
on that delightful journey.
