CHAMPION POLO PLAYER
REFUSES TO PLAY

London, June Waiter Buckmaster,
who is acknowledged to be the best polo
player in Great Britain, has declined to
play for England in the games with the
MeadOwbrOOk, I. l., team that begin here
June %, for the American polo cup.
It is explained officially that Mr.. Buck
master, who is a member of the stock
exchange, bases his refusal on the ground
that his present activity on the exchange
makes II impossible for him to devote
sufficient time for practice, but those be
hind the scenes attribute his action to
resentment at the hardness of the selec-
ton committee in asking him to play.

In the first three races at the fair
grounds yesterday the favorites carried
off the money handily In the last three,
however, the surprises took the money.
These three more than made up for the
heavy losses Of the books on the first
three races.
Surety was the first one TO break the
favorite-winning streak. In the third race
Benton opened the favorite and the wise
money Immediately went down on Mar
tinmas. Professional race horse follow
ers bet hundreds Of dollars on Martinmas
and he became a pOSt-time favOrite Mar
tlnmas was ahead all the way and looked
like an easy winner. Surety, however
showed a sudden flash Of form and passed
the ravorite i'm the stretch winning BY two
as his first mount of the meeting and
his ride was an exceptionally good one.
Billy Myer was the favorite in the fifth
ra0e, In view OF bis winning the first race
of the day. He was Optclassed, however
by both Valencia and Belle Brady, and
finished third in the race. Peak rode one
of the best rides of the meet on Va

One Of the big surprises of the day was
TavOra. She was heavily played at post
time by the wise ones, and considerable
money was placed on her at ali of the
pool rooms. The going just suited her,
and the wise ones knew it. Her friends
made big cleanup on the race. Aunt

lengths behind the winner. Aunt Kit was

CALLS HIM AUsURPER
NEW HEAD OF NICARAGUAN GOV
ERNMENT ANXIOUS FOR
PEACE
PROMISES EARLY ELECTION
IN SIX MONTHS HE WOULD LET
PEOPLE CHOOSE THEIR
RULER

Washington, Dec. 2S.-General Es-
trada, the revolutionary leader in
Nicaragua, will not accept the extra
ordinary terms laid down by the new
president, Jose Madriz, as basis for
peace.
A telegram from Bluefields states
that President Madriz has proposed
in a telegram to General Estrada, a
suspension of hostilities pending the
arrival of a committee he is sending
to Estrada to discuss an amicable set
tlement of the present strife. General
Estrada expressed a willingness to
meet the commissioners, but said the
revolutionary party would not recog
nize the action OF the Nicaraguan con-
gress in placing presidential power
in the hands of Madriz. He denied
most emphatically the assembly's
right to deal with the election of 3
president and stated that he saw in
Madriz a usuf-per Of the rights of the
Nicaraguan people.
President Madriz' terms of peace
are shown in letter addressed to a
friend. He says the revolutionists
should recognize his government, then
both armies would be disbanded, all
arms and ammunition being turned
over to him. Within six months he
looks for the holding of an election,
he guaranteeing free voting.
A telegram from Managua says tina
new president is preparing to send
troops eastward to meet Estrada's
army.

STEAM SHOVEL ARRIVES
FOR RESERVOIR WORK

A giant steam shovel, with other
equipment, the property of the Under
wood Construction company, of Ft.
Collins, Colo, which was awarded the
dirt work on the Camfield reservoir
and irrigation system, reached the
city last night.
The big piece of machinery occu-
pies a train in itself and today at
tracted considerable attention in the
local railroad yards, where it stands
on a sidetrack.
It will be necessary to build a spur
from the Hot Springs branch in order
to get the steam shovel outfit to the
site of the big reservoir and this will
take several weeks to complete.
When the spur is built the steam
shovel will be sent to the scene of
operations.
The Underwood Construction com
pany will construct the main canal
and laterals, besides doing all other
extensive excavation work. A large
force of men is required to operate
the steam shovel.
