ROCKAwAY WINS THE BLIZZARD CUPS
IN A STUBBORN CONTEST
WITH LAKEWOOD.

Rockaway won the Blizzard cups yesterday In a
contest as stubbornly played as any other seen in
the present polo tournament of the Rockaway Hunt
Club. Lakewood opposed the home talent for the
trophies and put up much stronger game than
many of the critics had looked for. Although re-
ceiving two goals by handicap, the team work Of
the blues was superior to that of the Jerseymen.
looked bright in their yellow and black colors,
and the deciding score 912 goals for Rockaway
to 584 goals for Lakewood.
The Blizzard cups are the lesser prizes in the
Rockaway tournament. being limited to teams not
exceeding an aggregate handicap of 10 goals. Lake
wood had the limit, playing the Philadelphia.

the contest, for RockaWay rushed the ball toward
its goal line with force and accuracy. LakewOOds

caromed off between the posts, Young La Mon

the field.
Snowdens second point was one of the best

Most of the spectators thought that Orton was
merely saving himself with the intention to
squirt on the last round and to finish first at
the tape he diu yesterday, but the effort of
yesterday had proved too much for him. He
had not slept during the night and this morn

though he ran gamely, he unable to secure
better place at the finish than the fifth. As
he ran, with set teeth his college comrades
cheered him, endeavoring to encourage him with
familiar yells, and, when they found that. in
spite of his pluck, he was beaten they gave
him a rousing ovation, just if he had won.
The French champion was wildly spurred on
by his compatriots and struggled with admira-
bic grit but he had to succumb TO the superior
trained English cross country runners

their parents have endeavored to train
them in the way they should go. Wherein
the blame lies in these particular cases is
not plain, nor is it necessary to go into
the matter. The unpleasant fact to be con-
sidered is that if one group of boys of this
class can drift so easily into criminal prac-
tees others are in danger of doing the
same, and it behooves parents and guard
ians generally to look into the causes that
produce such a state of affairs. The first
condition that presents itself as probable

it is only through the liberty to come and
go at all hours as they please that the
dangers can reach them. When RESPONSE

may have the trustworthiness of men, but
for the most part they are still boys in
need of watchful guardianship at that age.
They are certainly not wise and discreet

A boy of that age should spend his even

parents trust to the boys word that he is

theater. particularly of the less reputable
sort, has special attraction for many
boys and once the habit of going there is
formed they plan to provide themselves

RECoNsTRUCTrNG HISTORY.

Speculation as TO what might have oc-
CURED if events had not happened as they
did is harmless and rather interesting
pastime. 1t is often INDUCED in by per-
sons taking retrospective view of their
own lives, and sometimes in the broader
field of history 1t is very easy to make
history on paper, to reconstruct the past
as one fancies it might. could. would or
should have been, and the result is gem
orally so much to ones own liking that it
is rather fascinating occupation.
Two instances of this have just been re-
ported in the newspapers. Lord Rosebery
has been specializing as TO what might
have happened if the elder Pitt had not
accepted a peerage and left the House of
Commons when he became prime minister.
and General Weyler has been telling how
very different the course of history would
have been if he had been backed by a
strong conservative party after the death
of Canovas and while he was still in COM
mand in Cuba. Lord Rosebery argues that
il Pitt had remained in the House of Com
mons the revolutionary war would have
been prevented. and. OF course, the loss of
the American colonies; that the latter
would have had representatives in the
House of Commons and would eventually
have controlled that body: that all the
modern reform measures of British legis-
lation would have passed many years
sooner than they did; and. finally. that the
colonies would have so far outstripped the
mother country in population that the seat
OF empire would have been transferred
from the British islands 10 the American
continent. What an extraordinary revo-
luton il would have BEEN" says Lord
Rosebery; the greatest known, without
bloodshed. the most sublime transferrence
