THE POLO DEFEAT.
Last Wednesday evening the friends
of the Maui Polo team felt much de-
pressed on receipt of the news of its
defeat by Kauai and much shocked to
hear of the accident to George Wilbur.
The feeling of depression was all the
more acute because of great eXpecta-
tions aroused by the first wireless
message. &c to in favor of Maui at
the end of the second period" To de-
liver this message to the Honolulu
wireless office by telephone a man had
TO ride seven miles from Moanalua
polo grounds after half of the game
was finished.
Then came the surprising word OF
the overwhelming defeat and the rea-
son for 1t, which was an all-sufficient
one, for Wilbur is undoubtedly one of
the most skillful polo players in the
Territory and the substitute who took
his place, though a good man on ordi-
nary occasions is too young a player
10 fill the breach at such n critical
moment. Further particulars OF the
game and accident are eagerly looked
for.
