day. At the same time the advisory
and finance committees we're in confer.
ence and late yesterday all three com.
mittees joined in general conference in
which Mr. Bryan took leading part.

make speaking trip through the middle
West and the East, the Democratic lead.
ers believe that Mr.. Bryan should con

from the far West are trying 20 prevail
upon Chairman Mack to send the candi-
date to the Pacific coast states, but
whether Mr.. Bryan will make the long
westward swing will depend in great
measure on plans made for Mr. Taft's
stamping tour. National Chairman Mack
said yesterday that the committee will
try to stimulate further public interest
in the Democratic precinct clubs, upon
which the national committee are de-
pending for campaign funds and the re.
sponses to the call for money, according
TO Colonel Wetmore, head OF the finance
bureau, have been very gratifying. Mr..

first opportunity in Vermont to witness
the exciting sport OF pony~polo. The
teams in the contest will be from

Pony polo is one of the most interest.
ing of sports. II keeps the spectators
attention riyeted on the spot every
minute. As the game is new in this
section brief description will prove
valuable TO the reader.
The game is played by four men on
each side, mounted on ponies, and Is
very similar to football or hockey. IL
is undoubtedly the most exciting and
dangerous game, both to the players
and the ponies, that is played.
The field is about 900 feet long and
$50 feet wide, with boards running
along each side, about eight inches
high, to keep the ball from going out
Of bounds as much as possible. IL
should be as smooth as the best green
lawn. At both ends of the field are
goal posts "a feet apart and about 10
feet high. The object is for one team
to knock the ball through the opposing
goal. and Of the other team to prevent

The game originated in India. and
was from there introduced into England
where it is played quite extensively,
especially in the army. II has been
played in the United States for the
last 20 years, although not very extern
sively, largely, il IA believed on account
OF the time it takes to enable per-
son to become proficient in the game,
and the expense incident thereto.
The ponies form very important
part of the game. They must be very
fast, be able to stop while at full speed

tournament pony is worth anywhere
from $3.50 to $1,000. Although these
ponies are the best that can be bought,
and are trained and CARED for as care
fully as race horse, yet each player
requires at least four ponies to last
through the game, as they are running
continually. IL will, therefore, be seen
that it is not only an exciting and dan
gerous game, but an expensive one,
On each team, composed of four play
ers, there is what is known as position

Would come to eall on us,
At least she knocked upon the door,
And made some trifling fuss.
Then listening we sat within
To hear the welcome din,
And when we heard the rap or ring
We rushed to let her in.
But now we have revolving doors
That do not make a sound;

But silently turn round.

And in a circle leaves.
