NO CHAMPIONSHIP POLO.
Rocka1cay Gibbs Entry Uithdra5cn
and Title Goes by Default

Lovers of polo will have cause to regret the
announcement made yesterday that the Rock
away Hunting Club has withdrawn from The
polo championship. thus nscessita ting the total
abandonment Of what was generally expected
to be the biggest polo tournament IF the year
The apathy of the leading polo clubs regarding
the championship tournament this season mas
never been exceeded in the ten years that tns
William Waldorf Aston cup has been played foi.
Never before has it been necessary TO pass the
national title.
Were it not for the junior championship TINS
annual fixture would be scratched entirely. tns
two junior entrants. Bryn Mawr II and squad
ron \ will meet at Van Cortlandt Park on
Monday afternoon By the conditions. the WIN
ner of the Junior championship was TO have ne
Rockaway. and the reason given for the VIII
drawal Of the Cedarhurst men was that they dia
not care to win the championship through tns
defeat OF the junior team. The ChampI0nShlp
was won last year by Myopia, and the laIu.ss
Of the Bostonians to enter a team in defence u
their title was as disappointing as il was IN
usual.

Eight Hundred Million Dollars Year
ly Poured Down British Threats.
In the year 1903 there was poured
down the Threats Of the public in Great
Britain Ss4S,937 ,9Os worth of alcoholic
drinks. Nearly $S49,OO0,0O0l
The money spent for liquor in Great
Britain would have supported during
the year 1,G98,000 families, allowing
$500 to each family.
1t would have given 500 each to
100000 boys and girls for the pur.
pose Of education.
1t would have built $3.50 hospitals at
100000 each.
The things that might have been
done with $S49,OO0,000 would make a
list Of indefinite length, but the fact
remains that the vast sum went trio
king down 100000 or more Threats
to tickle the palates of the British peo-
pie. II the harm which 1t did could be
tabulated the statistics would be even
more astounding than the financial fig.

A Chicago paper, commenting on
these figures, says:
ut is from such facts as these occa-
sionally coming before us that we gain
fitting impressions of the tremendous
folly of the drink habit. With $780,
100000 diverted to legitimate channels
Of trade and to family necessities pow

physical standards would be revolu

Why Lenyen Turn Brown.

The green matter In the tissues OF a
leaf is composed Of two colors. red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow In
the autumn the natural growth Of the
tree is retarded, and oxidation of the
tissues takes place. Under certain con-
ditions the green of the leaf changes to
red. Under different aspects 1t takes
on a yellow or brown hue. The differ
ence In color is due to the difference In
combinations of the original cOnstitu-
ents of the green tissues and to the
varying condition of climate, exposure
and soil. Naples and oaks have the
brightest color.
