SOUTHERN POLO PLAYERS
HERE FOR TOURNAMENT
C. w. Clark Will Entertain
Lavishly at Fiesta
of Sports
BY r. a. Sn1yth

Charles w. Clark will dedicate the
artistic polo pavilion at his country
place. FL Palomar, San Mateo, this aft
ernoon. when the first game will be
played in a tournament which has at
tracted the cleverest players of South
ern California. Never before were so
many ponies quartered in San Mateo
County, nor has the class been so high.
The tournament will be continued to-
morrow afternoon on Francis j. Caro-
lans field at Burlingame and will be
brought to a conclusion on Sunday,
when the finals will be played on Mr..
Clark's field. The feetest thoroughbred
ponies possibly in all America will meet
in competition on Mr. CIark's three
quarter-mile track on Saturday.
The teams for this afternoons match
could not be announced last night by
the polo committee, which consists of
F. j. Carolan, c. w. Clark, r J. Boe-
seke, B. n. Smith Jr. and w. Lionel
Roberts. The majority of the players
will arrive this morning and the teams
will then be arranged for the opening
game. The Burlingame men have been
unfortunate recently, as Walter Hobart
injured his hand and r. NJ. Tobin was
bumped on the head by a fractfOus
pony. Both players expect to be in the
lineup, however.
George P. Messervy, a clever player
from Riverside, is a guest at the Bur

factors on the poAo field and in the
pony races, are due tomorrow morning

grown-up spectators. The girls found
chief delight in seating themselves in
the large cars and resting comfortably
among the ample cushions. The indul-
gent dealers explained the mechanism
10 the young folk with the same care
as TO their elders.
During the evening more thar 5000
persons were IN attendance. There was
the same deep interest in all that per-
tsined 10 the running gear as on pre-
vious nights.
INTEREST IN MACHINES
It's a strange thing said one ex-
hibitOr last night, but / never in my
life saw crowd so interested in ma
chinery. This afternoon q hundred
youngsters stood around me for nearly
an hour while I explained the uses of
every section Of the auto. They asked
more questions than a district attor-
ney, and they didn't stop until I had
told them all I knew. I think that the
attention Of San Francisco people has
been drawn TO the automobile as re-
suit of the April fire. and this has Gre
sted the remarkable interest. 1 was
a the last show in New York and while
people were interested IN a general
way, there was not the same enthusi-
asm that ] find here"
PEST REACHES THE SHOW
Despite the size of the crowds the
air in the hall has been kept at a
comfortable temperature. Neither
cloaks nor fans are needed. A gem
eral babble Of tongues and buzz OF
machinery I'LL the hall, but above all
rings the music Of a good orchestra
People were amazed q few years ago
at the vast number of bicycles sold.
IT was considered the more remark
able as the price was in the neigh
borhood Of 500. But now automobiles
are being sold at almost the same
rate, and when one talks of automobiles
he must think in the thousands. Yet
some Of the wealthy citizens have
purchased them as housewife would
buy vegetables.

at the exhibition. He reached there

yet" There are few more of this
sort in his repertory.
The exhibition will be essentially for
the ladies today. The price of admis-
sion is to be raised for the night TO
provide for funds for the boulevard to
san Mateo, and society has promised
10 attend. During the afternoon the
ladies of the California Women's Au-
tomobile Club will entertain their
friends at a tea and reception at the
pavilion. A business meeting Of the
club will precede the affair.
The automobile dealers had more
business last night. The visitors were
more on the practical order and showed
a better knowledge of the cars than
on the previous nights

The George P. Moore Company has
its whole selling force out to the show
every night working the exhibits that
the company has installed. The practi-
cal demonstrations of sthe accessories
has made hit with the public, who
spend great deal of time in the vicin-
ity OF these booths.
Van Zant and McIntyre's display of
nonfuid oils has caught the eye of the
owners. The latter spend great part
of the time testing the qualities of
these goods, which are a big factor in
the running of an automobile.
Roos Brothers display of automo-
bile clothing is one of the finest in the
show. They are displaying novelties
that have never been seen on the coast
before.
