the game usually lasts four periods
of fifteen minutes each. The horse is kept
on a constant gallop almost throughout
the progress of the game, and with the
constant swirling and abrupt hating il
takes real stamina in an animal to stand
up under the strain.

horses are placed together and held at
the head, the widest animal in the mid
die. The most tractable is then led
around the other two and they follow IN
turn, describing figures eight in the pas
ture. Then the horses are led between
closely planted stakes to accustom them
to the impact of body against body.
Then a rider mounts and begins slowly t.
whirl his mallet, allowing the horse to
see that there is no danger in its flourish.
Next, at a walk, the rider strikes the
ball, and when the horse becomes &C
cuStomed to this the ball is struck when
the animal is going at canter. BY this
gradual process the animal is tractabie
and may be said to he a fair novice pony
in four or five months. The polo pony
is in his prime between the years or
seven and fourteen.
Polo is generally looked upon as rich
mans sport on account of the expense at
tached to the maintenance of polo
stable but in recent years II has become
popular among the army officers in the
Philippines. just as it has been for NIFTY
years among the British soldiers in India
In the Philippines the stocky, hardy Fill
pino pony is used, and while he is not o.
swift as the Australian or the Chinese
pony and is considerably undersiZe, he IL
said to be hardy ard intelligent and the
officers are finding the sport most divert
ing.
The general impression prevails that tho
game Is exceedingly dangerous, due large
" to the fact that the social prominence
of the players causes every minor injury
to be widely exploited in the press Tho
chief danger lies I'm the swing OF mis-
directed mallet. An arm Is sometime
shattered. leg badly bruised or finger
broken. and there have been rare cases
where a young player has fallen with his
skull fractured by a severe blow. Tne
head is usually protected by a padded
cap however. Collisions between ponies
arc frequent and there is hardly game
that some rider is not thrown. The ponies
are seldom hurt.

they were entered on the passenger list

On Guard Against Reporters.
They did not board the ship until almost
the last minute. Then the bride hurried

When approached by reporter. he

Gaspari is a tail, fine-looking man of

Throughout the long honeymoon journey
they have registered at hotels and been

They have persistently lodged interview

OBJECT IN FORMING
MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS
Said to Be No Present Inten-
ton of Calling Upon Physi-
clans Found Available.

For several months past Surgeon Cen
eral Torney has been compiling data as
to the availability for service in the
medical department Of the army Of rep
utable physicians in all parts Of the
United States, with view to their en-
ployment in the Medical Reserve Corps
for their services. The reserve corps
was organized nearly three years ago,
under a special act of Congress. and al
ready forms a large and efficient branch
of the regular medical establishment of
the army. What is being done at this
time, it is explained. is simply in accord
ance with the practice of the depart
ments to provide for filling vacancies in
the corps and to obtain definite informa-
ton for increasing its strength in case
of necessity. Many surgeons and physi-
clans of high standing in the principal
cities of the country already are on the
reserve list for commissions as first lieu
tenants, in case of any emergency call
ing for their services.
Canvass in Progress for Weeks.
1t was explained at the Office OF Sur
geon General Torney yesterday that the
canvass of the various cities which has
been in progress for several weeks past.
has no particular reference to troubles,
present or prospective. in the vicinity OF
Mexico. but is merely part of the precau-
tionary measures now followed by all up
to-date military establishments. Balti-
more, Seattle and other cities Of the
country are the fields of recent canvass
ing in this direction. There is no present
intention of calling upon the physicians
who may be found available, it is ex-
planned, the idea being simply to record
the data for possible future use.
District Physicians Commissioned.
Three physicians Of the District Of Co
lumbia already hold commissions as first
lieutenants in the Medical Reserve Corps.
They are DR.. James Mitchell, DIR. Charles
w. Richardson and DR.. II. Il. Yarrow.
They do not perform any active military
duty at present and will not be expected
to, except in the event OF some unlocked
for emergency. At this time no steps
are being taken to secure the services
of any additional civilian physicians in
the District of Columbia, but. as one OF
the army surgeons observed yesterday,
there is an abundance of good medical
and surgical material in this city which
could be utilized by the army at short
notice in case it became necessary.

To Farm ON copper Lands.

A party OF Houghton capitalists
have under consideration the estab-
lishment at a point on the Copper
Range railroad south of Houghton of
a 600-acre experimental farm. The
lands have already been secured, but
are at present heavily timbered.
Steps will be taken during the COM
ing winter to cut the timber. and
early next spring the stumps will be
removed and the land made ready for
cultivation. 1t Is hardly probable that
crops will be planted before 1913, but
