GREAT POLO SEASON.
HANDICAP ENCOURAGES NovIcEs,
RANK OF TEAMS AS DETERMINED BY
THEIR PERFORMANCES-PO
ITY OF THE SPORT.

The polo OF 1900. Just closed. has in many
respects been the remarkable OF any IN the
history of the sport IN this country. The Eastern
schedule included ninety contests. as compared
with seventy-ve last year and fortyfve in 1885 or
the ninety games listed. fourteen were played by
teams rated alike under the handicap OF the POLO
Association, showing a disposition on the part OF
several clubs 10 form mixed or scratch teams and
try conclusions on even basis. Twelve games
open all and without the application OF the
handicap system, thus affording the public oppor-
tunites greater than heretofore TO judge OF the
playing strength of OF the lending teams by
goals actually earned. Especially noticeable has
been the good effect of the American handicap sys-
tenn and the encouragement it lends to novices. BY
its aid several young teams have been enabled to
a liberal allowance of goals. even When
opposed to what considered strong organize
tions 1t was the first half OF this years circuit
that kept the followers of the sport guessing. the
most astonishing rever5as of form occurring before
the meridian passed.
The most noteworthy feature of the season was
the fixing of the open championship events in the
middle instead of 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 of his liberality 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.

Her campaign was a brilliant one from its commencement to its successful close and was one might say Landslide" From the first announce ment of her candidacy she received the enthusiastic endorsement of many of the most prominent politicians in the State and throughout her campaign she was supported by loyal staunch friends. Her election was practically assured before the Legislature convened for as a leading pol tician expressed it Mrs. Francis had ev erything her own way" Mrs. Francis Is overjoyed at her victory. My heart is overfowing with gratitude to all my friends" she said yesterday.

Nineteenth Century Club
To Adopt a Boy

The young women of the Nineteenth Gen. tury Club are discussing the idea of adopt ing boy at Alabamas s reformatory. At the meeting tomorrow afternoon at Miss Kate Earles the members are urged to be pre- pared to fully discuss the advisability of adopting little lad, which will mean that the club will be entirely responsible for his maintenance at the Industrial farm. This suggestion, which was made at the last meeting of the club, met with that hearty endorsement which is so characteristic of the club when considering any philanthropic movement, and in the event of the young women taking under their especial protec- tion ''an Alabama boy" 1t will insure for him never-failing interest and care. Any one would be fortunate to become protege of the Nineteenth Century Club.
