The foreigners did not materialize, but
there was a rattling good match between
two home teams that represented the picked
men Of three cities-New York. Boston and
Philadelphia Rain fell during the last
period and the afternoon had been gloomy
and threatening throughout, yet from 5000
to 5000 persons stayed 20 cheer the finish.
The interest displayed by the public
and by the poloists, who gathered from
the clubs far and near, in the match has
decided the Polo Association to retain
the open championship az an annual fixture,
and dates for it will he assigned at Tuesdays
meeting.
II will be announced at the meeting that
there is now no prospect Of a team coming
from birmingham this year. The Hurting
ham Club has voted down the project, and
the various attempts to get team 10 come

rich players don't care to come, and the
players who would like to can't AFFORD it.

place last year at the Point judith Country
Club. NarraRansstt Pier. There are two
opposing theories regarding the placc Of
playing II to be threshed out at the annual
meeting.
Prospect Park in Brooklyn was for many
years the place Of play, to the delight Of
immense throngs Of onlookers, the great
stretch Of turf being at each match the
centre OF a hollow square formed by from
20 600 to 10000 persons. The series was a
holiday attraction for an army and IN a
broad way benefited the game, OF at least
brought a knowledge Of the game home TO
thousands. also the fact that to be born
with a silver spoon does not unfit . man
for hard and dangerous riding.
There were minor drawbacks. The club

rolling for the year. WIS for team and three

conditions and for trophies presented by
the club and Messrs. Childs Krumbholz,
Barstow, Taintor and Cameron. The aim
Of the club il to make Camden a polo centre
for the South, to a still greater degree than
has been attained. for the climate and con-
ditions are unsurpassed for the enjoyment
Of the game throughout the winter.
The NoTtherners who bring their ponies
to Camden and play there find they beat the
season by two or three months, for when
they come TO the local tournaments they are
in good training and their ponies are as hard
az nails.

Hoofbeats have stirred the hearts OF the
admirers Of polo at Camden, Aiken and
New Orleans throughout the winter, and
also 10 southern California. indeed wher-
ever the ponies could be galloped while the
turf il iCubound in the North, for the zeal
Of the votaries Of polo Il never frozen, and
many Of them follow the sun with their
ponies. There has been but one open tourna-
meni how ever. 1t was held by the Camden,
S. c. Country Club, and it ranks always as
the annual opening Of the competitive season
In the Polo Association. The remark about
aSen tou, naments does not apply to the

citation OF their own and play under Hur-

TIE two Gould boys are at college and
may not readily play this year in their
accustomed places with the team, which
perhaps rVplains thu ca1c slllng Il the open
tournament. There are informal matches
at Lakewood three OF four afternoons
each week, Just the same, throughout this
month, ard the players put as much vim
into their games as though they were for
international honors.
There are mounts for Kingdom and Jay
Gould whenever they choose to play, which
IL usually on a Saturday, and for visiting
poloists, while the regular players Of the
Lakewood Club are usually George Gould,
Irving L. brush, H. L. Herbert. H, NJ. Earle
and Benjamin Nicon.

Polo Club and in the last half Of Septem-
Der there will be events at the Rumford
Polo Club, Providence; Taconic Polo Club,
Hartford, and the New Haven Polo Club.
There will also be fall tournaments near
by, including those Of Squadron 4 at Van
Cortlandt Park and the Staten Island Polo
Club. There Is also tournament play at
Buffalo, the Saratoga Polo Club and at
Chicago and st. Louis each summer be-
sides informal play at all times and all
places. The exact dates Of the tourna-
ments will be arranged at the annual meet
ing Of delegates from all the polo clubs,
to be held on Tuesday night at the Metro
politan Club.
The bookings for the minor events all
hinge on the selection Of dates for the two
greatest tournaments Of the season. There
are two championship tournaments, but
three championships.
The amateur championship, for teams
OF four from any club in the Polo Associa-
ton Is for a trophy presented by William
Waldorf Aston through the Tuxedo Club.
At the same tournament the opening event
Is always for the junior championship cup,
the gift Of Samuel d. Warren Of Boston.
The second championship tournament IL

hardly have been suggested but for the hope

probably be in the first week In August.
Thirty-fve clubs have the right 10 send
delegates 10 Tuesdays meeting. The Polo
Association had It's start In 1890, but the
game had been played about New York
since 1879.

Polo Il the game OF games, the sport Of

There are other essentials 10 make the
game a costly one, but no one who may
AFFORD it ever regrets the outlay asit brings
in a sound return in health and enjoy
ment,
The other sort Of polo, the pottering OF
garden variety, Is not so expensive and may
be kept up with a couple OF ponies.
The ponies from the ranches are
in demand In England and here for the
game, although there are few who
raise ponies in the East and South. A
q, d Western pony will bring from $500 to
81 800, and now they receivea preliminary
training before being put on the market.
The dealers come from Texas and
Wyoming, OF other points, with their droves
in the spring and go back for more when
they sell out. They follow the polo tour
naments 10 this extent, for they always
bring their ponies TO the group OF clubs
wherein the players are assembled.
A polo pony will improve each season
and will last for FIVE or six years, yet there

Of auras, for afterward she besto an
aura on the reader OF palms, which she said
was Of unusual beauty. More than this
she told her that the gold that encircled
her meant power; the white purity. and the
green sympathy.
This was gratifying to the young woman,
and stimulated those who had been told
that they stood possessed Of red. blue,
violet and other color combinations TO de-
sire TO know what these unknown quantities
signihed. A number then and there made
arrangements for a private interview.
