Cyril TObin, referee
The first regular game of polo that
has been played this year took place
yesterday on the Ell Cerrito field. The
rain of the last so days has kept the
players off the fields. The Ell Cerrito
field was in splendid shape yesterday.
The start was called for 2:30 o'clock.
1t was quickly seen that the men were
out of practice. They lacked their
hitting eye Time and time again a
player would get the ball free and
start down the field and under ordinary
circumstances would have scored.
When hard pressed the players would
tumble the ball or miss it all together.
They would also hit wide of the goals
when under ordinary conditions they
would have recorded another goal.
But what was lacking in true hitting
was more than made up in team work
and good riding off of the ball In the
latter respect it was the best since the
present season opened. The players
the players and ponies are sore today
from the roughing they got. There
were some beautiful rallies, and in the
excitement there were fouls and Off
side plays in numbers.
The game was carried through six
periods, taking up an hour and Is min
utes to play There were three new
men in the lineup yesterday Francis
j. Carolan was again seen in the sad
die, while Captain F. Guest, a noted
foreign poloist, was seen for the first
time. Guest is a strong hitter and
made some beautiful strokes. and was
prominent in many of the scrimmages.
He did not ask odds and was not given
any. 1t was lively times when the ball
was in his section.
The other new player was w. l..
Breese who is new at the game. 1t
was impossible to get a very good line
on his work or style in yesterdays
contest, as every one was out of form.

PLAN JOINT CELEBRATION
Pioneers Annual Reunion and Com
memOration of July A May Be
Held Together.

A special meeting of the Polk County
Pioneer Association will be held in
the office of G. w. McBee, Saturday
night, for the purpose of making
plans for the Annual Reunion.
1t is thought probable that the pio
neers will decide to hold their reunion
in conjunction with the Fourth Of
July celebration, which the business
men of Dallas are planning to hold in
this city. The matter was brought up
before the Merchants Protective
Association at its meeting last night
and Dr. I. V. b. Embree, addressing
the association, said that he believed
that the pioneers would be glad TO
enter into such an arrangement, pro-
vided it was decided to hold a cele-
bration here this year.
The business men are we'll pleased
with the plan and active steps will be
taken at once to arrange for the pre-
work necessary to start the
of preparation of the cnle-
oration, which If carried out. will
be the best Of its kind ever
leld in this county.

While the meek man must peep
around its edge.

SCHOOL ELECTION CALLED
People of This District To Vote On
Proposition of Bonding For New
SchOOIhOuse.

A lengthy petition has been filed
with the school board in this district,
asking that meeting be held for the
purpose of bonding the district for
$4,000 for the purchase of ground and
the erection Of a new schoolhouse or
at least the building of additional
schoolroom.
An election will be held at the City
Hall. Saturday, May l, for the purpose
Of voting bonds to that amount and
the polls will be open from l to
O'Clock p. m.
The rapid increase of attendance in
the public school of Dallas, together
with the addition Of new grades has
made this step imperative. Even last
year the congestion became noticeable
and the teachers were obliged to use
every conceivable device to exc out the
supply of seats to accommodate the
enormous attendance.
A new building erected last Fall
relieved the crowded condition for u
time, but already the attendance has
even that temporary room,
and the demand for a new school
house is as insistent as ever.
The residents of this district are
awake to the need, and the number Of
lanes attached to the petition seems
o indicate a strong leaning of public
pinion in favor Of voting bonds for
be purpose of securing the much
eeded schoolroom accommodations
