AMERICAN POLO CUP
An international Trophy and the
Strife For 1t.
OF UNITED STATES ORIGIN.

Ranks Next to the Emblem of Yacht
ing Supremacy-OnIy Visit to Its
Home Since Its First Appearance.
Efforts to Lift It.
AS an international trophy the Amer
lean polo cup. which was recently won
by an American team at birmingham,
England. ranks second only To the
Americas cup. the yachting trophy for
which English sportsmen have spent
millions of dollars in a vain effort to
recover. America now has both.
This polo cup is of American origin,
and this viii be its asly visit to its
home since its first appearance as an
emblem Of match play.
In 1856 IN English team was invited
to play Il match in the United States,
and Hurlingham sent four men. TO
mark the occasion the Westchester
Country club offered the cup, valued
at 81 coo. The EnglShmen came and
gave an exhibition of hard riding, ex-
pert horSemanship and accuracy Of
stroke the like Of which was never
seen in the United States before. AS
consequence they took the cup back
with them.
That match was played at Newport,
Among the spectators were three
lads in their early teens-Harry Payne
Whitney and the two Waterburys,
Lawrence and Montgomery. Twenty
three years passed and in that time
those boys had learned the game so
well that with the help of DeycrerS
Milburn Of Buffalo they went TO Lon
don and beat the British Mt their own
game.
But these are not the only Amer
leans who have had the time aad
money to spend in an effort to get the
cup back.
Time and money are mentioned as
the chief essentials, because there are
thousands in the United States who
have the horsemanship and the in
cIination, but lack the dollars one must
have to play an international polo
match
In 1900 an American team went to
England to get the cup. but they we're
so outclassed both in men and ponies
! that they We're easily beaten.
| Two years later, 1902, four of the
best players from the several clubs of
the United States tried it again. They
were the two Waterburys. who played
in the recent match at Hurlingham;
| John NJ. Cowden of MeadowbrOull
and K. l.. Agassiz Of Boston The men
We're good, but the ponies were not
! up to the standard of speed. They
won a single game and came back
without the cup.
! Then Harry Payne Whitney began
| his campaign which ended in the pres
/ ent victory lie recognized that the
sine qua non Of polo is the speed on
the horse. Given horses as good as
! EngandS. American men could win.
I The very best ponies that could be
| bred or purchased in the United States
! were got.
Then he sent a challenge, which was
gleefully accepted.
! Mounted as well or even better than
/ the British the American players
swept the board.
! In their practice games at Ranelagh
! and Roehampton they showed their
| form and scored almost as they pleas
! ed. And when the time came to take
| the real match they did so by score
! of 9 goals to in the first game and
to in the Sccond.-New York World,

dent in the tropics. Major Woodruff
is now ON his way to the Philippines
where he has been ordered for duty.
He has spent considerable time in the
Orient and his theories are the result
of careful observation and compilation
of data. Yesterday afternoon he ex.
planned to an Advertiser reporter some
thing of his theory regarding the effect
of tropical light on the white man.
"Nature is brutal about this sort
of thing" said Major Woodruff. "Any
tFpe of plant or animal which does
not seem suited to its environment, she
kills off without hesitancy. This is
equally true with regard to the human
race.
1.-The glare Of the tropic light seems
much more injurious to blondes than
to brunettes. The only part of the
sarth where the blonde has survived is
IN Northern Europe, where it is foggy
ana where, in consequence, the light is
FAR less intense than in part of the
world where the atmosphere is clearer.
"Take in the tropic zones. There
you ind dark complexioned people. The
same is equally true of the Arctic
regions, where the light reflected from
the snow is intense The blonde has
not survived.

NO TROUBLE At
WA|MANALO

There are no signs of trouble at
Waimanalo and work on the plantation
Is moving along as though nothing had
happened. The nine police officers
whom Sheriff Jarrett ordered to re.
main on duty until all danger of trou.
Die should have passed, are still at the
plantation, but there has been no call
Tor their services. They will probably
,eturn to Honolulu today or tomorrow.
Secretary W. o. Smith, of the Plant.
ers Association, said yesterday after.
noon that, as far as he knew, every
thing was quiet. Deputy Attorney
General Kinney stated that, having no
advices to the contrary, he supposed
that things were moving along quietly.
Manager Ross, of Honolulu planta-
ton, when called up over the telephone
last night, said that all was quiet at
Aiea. ~
1t is generally believed that the
prompt action of Sheriff Jarrett has
convinced the troublemakers that they
can not break the law with impunity,
and that there will be no more overt
acts. Reports from Waimanalo in.
dictate that all that the Japanese la
borers there want is the assurance that
they will receive protection from the
instigators of riot.
Rioters Plead Guilty.
The Waimanalo Japanese, who so
beat up Hroshimi, the laborer who
tried to go to work at the plantation
on Sunday, and who were arrested by
Sheriff Jarrett after a struggle in which
he was surrounded and driven into the
| plantation house with his prisoners
made no attempt to fight the ease
| against them. The five appeared be
| fore Judge Andrade yesterday morning
and all pleaded guilty. Dol, the ring
| leader, was given a sentence of six
months; Asami, Komori, Fukui and
Tamura got off with five months each
The seven others, who were arrested
and charged with interfering with al
officer in the discharge of his duty
for attempting to take from Sheriff
Jarrett his prisoners, also appeared be
fore the Magistrate and, by their at
torney, Lightfoot, entered pleas of moi
guilty. The case against them went
over until this morning. The evidenc,
in the case will probably be heard to
| day. 1t is understood that vigorous
effort will be made by Lightfoot ant
the Higher Wage Association to ge
them clear. Lightfoot did not appea
for the five who were charged with as
sault. They evidently figured that thei
best plan was to take their medicin,
and not run chances of being indicated
by the grand jury for some more Sc
rious offense.

Kansas Hunters Punched.

Kansas SportSmen are finding that
game killed in Missouri, is an expen-
sive luxury, as already several of
them have paid fines for hunting in
that state without a license, which
would cost SIS for a nonresident of
that state. Only few days ago, two
hunters from this city were caught
shooting ducks south and east of this
city and were compelled to put up
500 apiece for their appearance, as
they had not only violated the game
laws by hunting without a license
but had also killed a number of birds
in violation Of the law, each of which
constituted a separate offense. On
Sunday another hunting party went
over to that state and were hunting
in the vicinity of Richards, when two
OF them were accosted by game
warden who demanded that they
show their license. AS they were
unable to do so they we're arrested
and compelled to put up SOS each for
their appearance in court at Nevada,
to answer to the charge against them.
Another of the party who was hunt
ing ducks on the same lake had
grown weary Of waiting for the arriv-
al of game and had lain down and
gone to sleep, only about Is yards
from where the warden found the
other two. AS he had securely hid
himself from the ducks that were ex-
pected to arrive, he was also out of
sight of the officer and escaped
arrest.
The vigilence Of the Missouri game
warden is explained by the fact that
they receive one half of all fines col
lected from hunters arrested for vio-
lating the law. They are keeping a
close watch on the state line, east of
this city, in the hopes of making nu-
merous arrests as it is a profitable
business for them.-Ft. Scott Tri-
bune.
