LiveIy Sport Erpected When Eng

With the definite announcement at the annual
meeting Of the Polo Association last week that an
English team would surely visit America this year
decided impetus has been given to polo' and the
prospect is that the will be one Of the most
interesting and lively that has been seen for sew
eral years The polo committee IS busy IN ar
ranging dates for the visitors, and with these
special games, in addition to the unusually large
number Of tournaments that are being prepared,
the task Of the polo authorities is one Of the
heaviest they have encountered in the matter of
games for some time. The English team will play
in some Of the regular tournaments here, but
number of special games vii be arranged for IT,
Indeed. the latter method Fould be absolutely
necessary. in order to see tHe English and Ameri-
can teams in competition near New-Yor for the
period of the formers visit is usually quiet one
in this neighborhood ,.,
w A Hazard, secretary of the Polo Association,
who is now on the ocean on his way home, after
an absence in England and France for year IN
formed Chairman H. L. Herbert by cable last week
that the team would probably arrive in New ork
by August B. and would be prepared TO play tTlFee
games a week. The visitors will be enter ed IN the
regular tournaments that may be in progress then;
and although definite dates have not been an
nounced for the entire season 1t Is likely that the
annual tournament of the Point Judith Country
Club at Narragansett, and the Westchester club,
AT Newport will be scheduled for august as has
been the former custom. In that case the VISITORS
will first appear in those resorts. and the presence
of some of the best polo players OF England In the
neiehborhood of Newport will be certain TO con-
tribute additional social flavor TO the summer
activities in that fashionable neighborhood.
