IN FAST POLO GAME

The Meadowbrook first team took the
senior polo championship yesterday after
noon on the field OF the WestchesteT polo
club. defeating the Bryn Mawr first team
by score OF 91s TO Ga, The game was
one OF the best games ever seen in New
rort and In spite OF the fact that the
field was heavy from the hard rain Of the
morning IL was a fast game.
Two Of the players were thrown and
one OF them. J. NJ. Waterbury, Jr.. re-
ceived a bad twist In his left leg.
1t was a gamke I'm which the Meadow
brooks displayed great team work. and
although the first part OF the game was
pretty even. the latter part was decid-
edly one sided. The Bryn Mawr team
made squirt at the last period. but IL
came too late 10 pull them out Of the
hole.
The score stood 10 to 3 in favor Of
Meadowbrook at the close Of the first
period. During a rush down the field
j. NJ. Waterbury collided with the goal
post knocking Il over and throwing him
from his pony. Time was called and Mr..
Waterbury taken 10 the club house,
where Il was found that he had badly
twisted his left leg He was soon able
10 resume play. but the member was
pretty stiff during the remainder OF the
game No sooner had play been resumed
than Brown OF the Bryn Mawr team was
also thrown from his pony. He was not
injured.
The star players were the Waterbury
boys as usual. although Beeckman played
fine game at back and was everywhere

CLOSE FINISHES
IN NEWP0 RT RACES

There has been no fnish in any, OF the
weekly races 81 the Newport 1acht cruz
this season so sensational as the one
between the three leading boats Of Mon
days race. - ou
The Vesper III won with the small
margin OF 29 seconds from the j. A. g,
which was but one second ahead OF the
Madge. -
After rounding the last turning buoy
the spar buoy in Brentons cove, the
three boats came through the harbor
practically abreast. the Nesper III being
possibly a little in the lead.
In doing this former Commodore Plum
mer in the Vesper II jibed his boat sew
eral times on the run home, and towards
the end he bettered his position some
what and finished just ahead OF the other
two.
There was not the usual number Of
starters, but the boats that did start.
with the exception OF the Taboo, went
over the line we'll punched. The Taboo
was late in leaving her moorings and
crossed the line nearly two minutes after
the others. but. with nothing to blanket
her. before St. Patrick's buoy had been
reached, she had caught up with the rest
OF the fleet.

CALUMET To BEGIN
PAYING MONDAY.

The Calumet Fire Insurance Com
pany will begin on Monday, as now
planned, TO pay out to policy holders
in this city their pro rata shares of
$500. Goo Later there may be small
additional percentage coming to the
Calumet's claimants, but that is con-
tingent upon the manner in which re-
insurance is handled. The Calumet
has reinsurance out amounting to
S4OO,925. so Attorney W. B. Pringle
says How much CT this must be paid
IS an open question
Attorney Pringle said last evening
that practically all the large policy
holders in San Francisco of the Calu-
met Company have signed an agree
ment pIedging them TO accept fund
Of $500 600 in full settlement of all
san Francisco claims against the COR
poration. There are at least five-sev-
enths of the San Francisco policy
holders among the signers to the
agreement
Seventeen stockholders of the Calu-
met Company, led by the new presi-
dent ". Irving Osborne, have raised
100000. An attempt TO assess the
stockholders of the company generally
failed, as the stock is non -assessable
in Illinois and the consent was far
from unanimous TO the proposition to
holders. large and small, TO get the
needed coin. AS the alternative was
insolvency, seventeen large stockhold-
ers agreed to raise the 100000. The
acceptance of $500 900 was urged by
the Policy holders League. 1t has
also been urged upon the parties n in
terest by the representative in this
city of the Calumet Company.
Attorney Pringle declares the stock
of the company is so badly scattered
and in such small holdings that it
would be very expensive to bring suits
against the individual stockholders if
they were liable as stockholders.
The Calumet is trying" so asserts
Pringle, ito give its policy holders the
greatest amount of benefit it can
Some companies have been paying a
definite amount and so are playing
safe for themselves"
The losses of the Calumet Company
in San Francisco amounted in the gross
to s1,11S.000. The net loss is esti-
mated to be between 5000, 600 and
