the criticism inspired more wrath in his
bosom than you would suppose so ami
able man could hold.
Whats this?" exclaimed the founder
and chief stockholder. You fellows
think I'm neglecting the business when
I'm going about among people, do you?
Very we'll I'll bury my nose in my
desk, and We'll see what comes of it."
Perhaps this decision was furthered
by the fact that thousands of labels
printed Shamrock Brand" to be past
ed on all sorts of Upton goods, had
been quietly pat out of sight after the
defeat of the second Shamrock. On sec
ond thought the kickers among the
shareholders concluded they had made
a mistake, especially as Upton shares
began to decline somewhat in value.

Britain next to the kings own Royal

exclusive and naughty that even with
the kings backing Sir Thomas Upton

The Royal Ulster officials applied all
sorts of persuasive measures to the adj
verse determination of the titled jack
tar and finally won him over.

Upton DIDN'T WANT
TO BUILD SHAMROCK Ill.

1t would be interesting to picture the
gallant and good narured Sir Thomas
Upton as lying awake o nights strug-
Cling feverishly with new ideas for
lifting" the Americas cup, but as
matter of fact he has never done any
thing OF the sort.
He gave close personal attention to
Shamrock l. and II. He considered the
designs, ne studied over the figures for
the cost, he had long confabs with ev-
cry one concerned. This time he is put
ting his faith in the old proverb Of
three times and cut" and has told de-
signer and builder TO go ahead and
spend whatever they liked without
bothering him about the details.
The truth of the matter is that Sir
Thomas was not especially anxious to
build a third Shamrock. He wanted
somebody else 10 try it. This business
of being beaten was something he
wasn't used TO, and Furthermore, his
shareholders-a few of the less enter
prising of them-grumbled after the
last race that the great business of Lip
ton. limited, was beginning to suffer on
account of the attention the head of the
concern was giving to other matters.
Now, Sir Thomas loves that business

INDIAN DEER HUNTERS.

A Chicago man who lives a small
fraction of the time in the city, being
usually long distances away in pursuit
of game, tells the method pursued by
the Indians of British Columbia in TAX
ing deer. They have evolved a system,
this huntsman says, that shows prac-
teal skill and sympathy and knowledge
of natural conditions. He says:
The Indians. 10 begin with. do not
hunt deer for the pleasure of hunting
/ They go FOR deer as a housekeeper goes
10 MARKET for beef. and. what's more
in British Columbia, at any r9te-they
don't go often. Salmon are plentiful in
the rivers and easily caught. So why
chase animals when they can secure
fish? Tt is something as it is in New
foundland. where I went a couple Of
seasons ago. There the prevailing fish.
as you might say. is cod. and. though
there is no end 10 the variety OF edible
fish that can be taken. the natives new
er think of eating anything else. Cod
is plentiful. and they form the habit
suppose. This is so ingrained that they
call Goldfish fish simply. The genus is
divided into cod and the rest Of fish.

and it is safe to predict that in two
years they viii rank with the holders
of the highest handicaps registered in
the association. They live q life of out
door activity, which is largely respon-
sible for their present athletic prowess
and has given them foundation for
careers still more notable in the field
of polo and other endeavor.
Mr.. Gould is playing q stronger game
than ever before. Although having on
his mind numberless business RESPONSE
bilities which consume most of his
time, he still finds opportunities to
practice his favorite game and keep in
fair shape for the match contests. He
has one of the most valuable stables of
ponies in the country. and the agility,
stamina and intelligence of these wiry
little mounts have an important bear
ing on the play of the Gould team.

The Ponies

wonderful pieces of equine mechanism.
They are products of the plains. and
the best Of them have served their ap-
premiership in the cowpunchiug serv-

ponies are especially reared for polo
purposes. and their output finds

the ponies are used.
In England the ponies are Of a higher

One Of the great disappointments
OF the season has been the receipt OF
the news that the English team, COM
posed of Walter BUckmaster, c. RaWlin-
son, Frederick Freake Major c. h
AUsell and Major Waugh. would be un-
able to come over to play against the
leading American teams. 1t had been
expected that the Britishers would in
wade America, and negotiations had
even gone so far as to establish definite
dares for the matches, which were to
be played principally at Newport
during the height of the social season.
TIE excuse given for the failure of the
English team to live UP TO their prom
Uses was that the members of the
intended invading party who bear
military titles could not obtain the
consent OF the British war Office TO
leave the tight little isle" for a period
of the length required 10 play the
matches However true this may be, it
seems strange that country Boosting
Of the greatest array of polO;sts on The
face Of the E.obe could not get together
a half dozen players for the purpose of
living up to an agreement with the
players Of another country.

The full schedule of dates assigned
TO the various cities by the stewards
of the grand circuit and the total

Polo History.

Polo has been played in America
since the late seventies. when James
Gordon Bennett brought over from
England complement Of mallets and
balls and interested some of his friends
in the mysteries of their manipulation
England is supposed by many TO be
the scene of the origin OF polo. but this
is not true. The game was taken into
England by British soldiers who saw
1t played in India. Certain authorities
state that India was the birthplace
of polo, but others there are who hold
that the natives of India first received
the idea of the game from the Persians
and that the soldiers in old Teheran,
Persia's capital, INDUCED in a sport
somewhat similar to modern polo be-
fore il was known in India.

ponies were stated to be inferior TO
thOSe'of the Englishmen, and this fact
probably had an influence on the re-
suits. The Englishmen have not
played on this side of the Atlantic since
1856, when John Watson's famous team
came over and carried away the inter
national cup which Keenes team en-
deavOred TO bring back last year.
While polo is primarily a game
for wealthy people, owing to the
cost Of equipment, ponies, etc. it is
making Roadway consistent with its
attractive qualities and during the last
few years a comparatively large nun.

The Meeting Mt Boston.

The Boston meeting at the Readviile
track last year was considered by many
the most successful OF the season.
This year the New England Breeders
association. which conducts the races
at Readville, hopes TO earn a repetition
of the verdict. To start the bah a-rOll-
ing in the right direction the associa-
ton has decided TO repeat the early
closing events of 1902 for the coming
grand circuit meeting. This means
that the Massachusetts win be a $4,000
purse, 10 which PIP trotters are eli
gible. The Blue Hill is for 2:So trot-
tiers and win be worth $1,000; the Nor
folk also is S5.oo0 event, but is for the

been set aside for the three year-oId

Concerning Handicaps.

The polo handicaps have been re-
vised considerably this season, and the
present penalties imposed on various
players are an interesting illustration
of the advances in individual ability.
Take the Gould boys as an instance.
Kingdom and Jay, the sons of George
Gould, have each been rated at five
goals. Kingdom, whom experts con-
cider the better player of the two. was
formerly rated at four goals and Jay
at three. Benjamin NicOll has been

material that makes up the typical
American sportsman. And, while their
individual playing is brilliant. they are
