Many pOloists favored the holding Of

exposition as tending to give the sport
more publicity and affording opportuni-

The game of polo has many attractive

tournaments. The well kept playing
grounds are surrounded with the ex-
ponents OF fashions fancles. Gay tally
hos, smart traps, horses Of breeding and
folk afoot cluster around the fences ca
gerly viewing the plunging, lodging
dashIng ponies and their strenuous rid

The ponies are distinctly peculiar to
polo They are lunches OF sprlngy
muscle tissue They will keep agoing
until too exhausted to stand, and after
season or two Of experience know as
well as their riders what to do in emer-
gencles.
The raising and training OF polo po-

tent than here these crafty animals are
bred as carefully as is the get Of Han

game of the last two or three years is
that there seems to be no individual
player recognized as the American
champion, Probably the last man to be
hailed as the champion Of America was
Foxhall Keene, son of James r. Keene,
the leader of the bears" in Wall street.
Keene several years ago played on the
then champion Rockaways. IT is doubt
full II his superior with the mallet has
since been seen. One Objectionable fea-
ture Of Keenes playing was his treat
ment OF the ponies. No tax on endur-
ance seemed too great for him to inn
pose. He would force the glistening
rowels into the sides OF his mounts until
the blood ran freely. But II won games,
and the grooms always took excellent
care OF the game little steeds between

peoted that some record breaking races

Several innovations have been intro
duced in the making OF the Memphis
association track. First, the bed was
dug out to the depth of five feet
throughout its whole length. Then the
layers of soil were put back foot by
foot. and each was rolled and graded
so that each succeeding stratum was
left a trlfie more spongy than the pre-
ceding. To cap the climax, a top dress
ing of specially prepared earth will be
added. The track when completed will
