The polo match last Saturday at
Leilehua was. intensely interesting
and showed wonderful improvement
over the last game, when the Oahu
team scored such an - easy victory.
This time, however, the Cavalry off,
GERS were match for them, and 1t
was only by concentrated effort and
Sskillful maneuvering that Oahu
scored at all. The field was In splcn-
did condition and the scene an ami
mated and beautiful one with the
Army women out in full force, Their
enthusiasm was intense when the
Fifth scored their first goal. Many
gay parties made the trip from Ho-
nolulu in autos, and at least twenty
that had journeysd down from town
lined the field with spectators. Most
of the strangers dined at Leilehua
end remained for the dance after
wards, as guests of the officers. The
ride back to town was simply en-
trancing. The road led up hill and
down dale, over gulches and through
ravines, and always, as we sped on
ward, the beautiful moon lighted
our path with silver rays OF irredes-
cent light, while In the background
the magnificent heights Of the Wal
anae mountains cast wierd shadows
like huge COLLINS chasing timid
brownies out OF the woods. The en-
chantment of 1t all silenced the
merry makers, and a subdued and
tired, but happy. lot OF people
reached home In the wee small
hours of Sunday morning.

" y n little restaurant in the lower
part OF old New York, now given
Il over to skyscrapers and great linan-
cial institutions. there gathered one
night in the early part of the winter of
1915 n party OF exiles. Some of them
had been In America a month or more.
some had arrived from France that day.
Some were rich, some were poor. All
were drawn together by misfortune. All
were battle SCARED. All were veterans
of that wonderful army with which Ma
Doleon Bonaparte overran Europe Now
they were prescribed. The great en-
peror was prisoner on rock in the
South Atlantic, and they were strangers
in a strange land. Some of them had
played important parts in the mighty
military drama which had closed but a
few months before. One had held the
fate of Europe in the hollow of his hand
for day. and had failed miserably in
the hour of supreme trial.
There was an air of restraint upon tho
party. The new arrivals told the latest
news of developments III Paris, of the
lcactionaiy policy of the king and his
Bonapartist to England. and that one to
Switzerland; of plans to establish
French colonies In Florida, In Texas, in
Alabama and other points along the
shores OF the Gulf of Mexico; of tho
garrisoning of the frontiers OF France
by the allies at the expense of exhaust
ed France; OF the brutal, contemptuous
treatment of every one who had rallied
10 the standard OF the Little Corporal
after his return from Elba, and of the
despair that filled the hearts of all who
had followed the fortunes of the emper-
or.
