minutes of play, and another playing
wild horse during the period in which
he was used. This meant some bump
ing. and the game was quite rough du-
ring its second quarter.
The victory of the Blues was duo
most largely to the fact that the team
played together. While Judd misdi-
rected much energy upon chasing the
ball, when his position called most
particularly for service in riding of,
the rest of the team was right be-
hind him. and Hancock and Angus rode
with skill and a finished knowledge OF
the play. which gave to the game much
of its attractiveness. The star parts
perhaps belonged to Dole and Dilling-
ham. They were sure OF stroke, quick
20 see an advantage, and fast to get
into a play, and they more often than
any other managed to carry the ball
for more than one drive.
Every player distinguished himself
at some time during the game, for the
opportunities were many, and the
speed put to the ball everywhere, and
at all times, made it necessary for the
men to be on the jump. Atkinson at
back, while not as brilliant in play
as his opponent, more than once show
ed the possession of a good eye, and
executed some particularly good cross
often robbed of what seemed at first
certain goals. demonstrated that his
absence from the field next season will
rob one team of an excellent No. 2.
Potter played his position with judg
ment, and his horses have improved
remarkably.
The field was surrounded by carriages
and a fringe of standing spectators
when Umpire 5. E. Damon, father of
the local game, called play and threw
the first ball into the corner of the
field. The players got into the game
at the very start, and Shingle got the
ball out of the ruck and carried it
along to within twenty yards OF the
Blues goal before he was headed. The
ball being stopped, Dole sent it out
to Judd, who caught well, and sending
his pony fast, was able to score the
first goal Shingle. riding fast, very
soon after drove fully three-quarters
of the length of the field, racing ahead
of the bunch and crossing the line
with the ball fair between the posts.
There had been no more than three
minutes of time passed, and ii took less
than that for the third goal, which
was that of Dillingham;, made after
lively mid-field scrimmage, when he
carried the ball down the field and
scored with a side shot which elected
much applause. The next goal was
made after some of the cleverest play,
for twice did the Blues stop what
seemed like certain goals by the Reds,
Dole and Angus distinguishing the
play by fine drives. and Hancock riding
Dillingham; off in excellent style. Judd
missed a couple of fair drives, and
Shingle got in a beautiful cross shot
but the ball was lost to the Reds whom
Dole got IL. fairly lifting it over the
bunch. where Judd caught il, and he
and Angus carried the play along to
the line. and during a hot scrimmage,
Angus put the ball over. Again the
Reds were the aggressors. and had the
ball three-quarters up the field when
Hancock lifted it for a good fifty yards,
followed on, and landed the goal just
before the call of time, the score stand
ing then, Reds ., Blues goals.
The change of ponies was advanta-
ceous To the reds, for both Dole and
Hancock got poorer horses out OF their
exchange. and Dillingham; seemed TO
h, the decided winner. When the baI
was thrown in Judd got ii and ran
down the field. the scrimmage taking
Mace at the extreme end. Dillingham;
cot the ball out OF the bunch and
successfully carried il the entire
length. The Blues got possession on
