siders them fit to qualify as high class
polo ponies, although in the east some
trainers turn them out in six months
Every pony is pracLCed on the field six
months before being put in a game and
then is played IN fast games six
months longer before being sold. The
same rule for the rider applies stO the
pony, the only way to make a polo pony
Is to play polo with him Naturally the
long training and actual experience
turns out the best ponies. No other
occupation connected with the horses
calls for greater Judgment and patience.

This is due to the more thorough train
Ing and also to the actual experience in
playing given each pony as well as to
the fact that in a great cattle country
there is abundant material from which
TO pick promising youngsters The
speed, agility and stamina, inherited
from generations Of COW ponies, are
also valuable assets.
Midland, Texas, on the edge Of the
great staked plains, has become recOg-
nized as g great source OF supply for
high class ponies. Here are not only
ranches where ponies are bred and
trained, but also polo fields where
number Of good teams constantly play.
Henry II. Half, a millionaire capitalist,
has an extensive esta blishment at MID
land where he raises and trains ponies
for the eastern market. He is also an
expert player and an enthusiast in all
that pertains to polo.
Many ponies Of international reputa-
ton have come from the Halff ranch,
his ponies being shipped all over the
world. Two ponies trained at Midland,
White Rock and King Fisher, played in
the international match at Meadow
brook last June, both acQuitting them

claring White Rock the greatest polo
not Indispensable for polo, but courage
and speed are absolutely essential. The
pony must also be sound, fast and
breezy looking, with no blemishes or
wire cuts, and preferably 10 hands
high, although smaller ponies are
played, especially in England and
Canada. The best age for polo horse
Is from four to eight years.
Some ponies have a natural aptitude
for the game, while others apparently
fitted in every way never pay for their
training. The best horses are often
surprises to their owners. DR.. J. A.
Edmunds, a noted polo Judge, once
bought a horse from between the
shafts Of a milk wagon on the streets
Of Los Angeles, paying for him $50. The
same animal afterwards brought $1,000

As one lady was told to saddle and mount a horse she took a char tor the horse and ina agined she had saddle blankets, saddle and bridle, going through every movement just as she would when really saddling a real horse. When the horse was saddled she gathered the reins in her hand and s,uuts as singing and playing without really doing it, dressing, fixing up their hair, making bread, and in fact almost everything imagineable. Every lady present admitted that they had never had as good time at any party before.

It was jolly, good na- tured, happy crowd that was in at tendance and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves every minute of the time. As they danced, sat or walked about the hall a stranger would have looked twice and then wondered if he was seeing d mirage, for be had been led to believe that Iu these out of the way places the people were not up to date, vet here he sat gazing upon as well dressed and presentable crowd as could be found any where.

 what condition the bones are in.
 Two of his ribs were also broken one puncturing his left lung.
 Who would have thought that the night of Novem Der 1Ith was going to bring about such memorable events as it did, As the various couples entered the hall they little realized that two among them were going to take the step that would carry them temporarily at least, away from all thoughts of the pleasures of that dance, and that instead of looking back to Nov. I7th as the night of the Varsity Dance they would have a greater and more pleasant memory of that day. After dancing til very nearly two o'clock Saturday morning, MT. w. P.

Mr Weller was busily getting the Justice of Peac out of bed, securing license and got Rev. Krich baum up to the home of MT. and Mrs. ]. L Keister where the cere- mony took place with only their per sonal friends present. It was a fitting climax for such grand dance. Miss Gertrude York was one of Clifton's most popular and entertaining young ladies, while Mr. Weller holds very lucrative position with the D. c. M. company and is very popular among his friends MT. Weller has rented the Gordon Mclean residence on Quality Hill, where they are at home to their friends.
 That"the day after has none of the pleasures of the night'' seemed to be the verdict of every person who at tended the Varsity dance last Friday night. The committee of which w. P.
