Society was out in full force yester-
day afternoon at Moanalua and over
two hundred automobiles were to be
seen around the polo field. Rigs of all
sorts were also in evidence and many
people rode on horseback to the
ground.
Practically all fashionable Honolulu
was present and, as the day was a
good one for polo, the time spent at
Moanalua was most enjoyable. The
slight showers Of rain that fell did not
do any harm and, as there was some
thing doing in the way of excitement
all the time, everybody was kept
keyed up.
Big Leilehua Crowd.
The Leilehua contingent was a large
one and the army officers and their
wives doubly enjoyed the afternoon,
as the Cavalry team was victorious by
such big margin.
The horns Of the automobiles were
kept going most of the time, by one
set of fans or the other. Nineteen,
goals in eight periods is going some,
and there seemed to be always some
thing doing in the way of scoring.
GolH N,
as the grass had been cut and rolled
during the week. The scene was
gay one when, at three clock, the
two teams rode onto the field and lined
up for the first chukka. The Oahuans
were dressed in blue, while the Cav
airy sported their well known yellow
Jackets.
Easy for the Referee.
A. F. Judd acted as referee and, as
during the. game, not a single foul or
safety was registered, his task was
fairly easy one. In the first few Pc
Fiods there were couple of plays
that looked like fouls but, after that,
the game was clean and fast enough
for anybody.
There were large number of ponies
on the ground and there was no lack
of quantity, although quality was a
trifle lacking as regards some of the
mounts
The Cavalry ponies seemed to have
the foot of the Oahu horses and when in
the fifth chulka the Honolulu players,
mounted on their very best ponies,
failed to hold their own with the Army
four, the Oahu roOters about gave up
hope of victory for the home team.
Hanson Star.
Lieutenant Hanson was the star of
the day. He seemed able to hit the ball
anywhere and anyhow. He was fed y
well by Lieutenant Sheridan, and scored
no less than eight goals. Some of his
stick work was wonderful, and he APP
peared able to score from any angle.
Besides hitting the eight goals, Han
son put a beauty of baekhander
through the posts, just three seconds
after the bell had rung for the end of
the sixth period.
Hanson is dashing rider, and he
handles his mount in such a way that
the animal seems able to turn ON the
proverbial dime. Stirrups do not both
er the lieutenant much, and he does
just as good work with his feet dan.
Cling free as he does when his pedal ex-
fremeties are in their proper places.
Captain Forsyth, who hit four goals
for the Cavalry, did better than he has
ever done before. The popular captain
played good polo and he did some fine
centering that enabled Hanson to do
the scoring.
Lieutenant Sheridan, although not
scoring as many goals as he did in the
game against the Kauai team, did good
work and he scored one goal he, how
ever, helped out a lot, and was the
means OF Hanson getting the ball many
a time.
Lieutenant Quekemeyer, who was
captain Of the Cavalry team did all
that was required Of him He held his
men wen together and was always busy
either riding off his man OF passing the
ball out to his team mates.
Cavalry Much Improved.
The Cavalry team played game that
simply astonnded people who had only
seen them in action last year. There
is no comparison between the form
shown yesterday and thar OF last sea
son, and the Cavalry players are TO be
congratulated on the very marked i'm
pr0vement they show.
