equally positive that she walked several
PAGES down the hall. This hall was lit by
a gas jet which, turned half up and
shining through a colored shade gave
a sufficient, but not a brilliant light.
Says Adams: Il stood at the door on
the threshold, half in and half out. and

Il ton of oscar Slater in May, 1909, at
the high court in Edinburgh, without
feeling deeply dissatisfied with the pro-
ceedings, and morally certain that justice
was not done Under the circumstances
Of Scotch law | am not clear how far any
remedy exists but it will, in my opinion,
be d serious scandal if the man be al
lowed upon such evidence to spend his
life in a convict prison. The verdict
which led to his condemnation to death,
was given by jury of fifteen, who voted
Nine for Guilty" five for Not proven
. and one for Not guilty"
Under English law this division of
opinion would naturally have given cause
for a new trial. In Scotland the man was
condemned to death. he was only re
proved two days before the execution,
and he is now working out a life sentence
in Peterhead convict establishment. How
far the verdict was a just one, the reader
may Judge for himself when he has pc
rused a connected story of the case. 49,,

good play. 1t is with the knees that the
best horsemen and horsewomen ride, and
nearly every suggestion for change of di-
rection for the pony is given with the
knees, and not by tugs at the reins. The
best player must be ambidextrous, and
a woman would find herself in a serious
plight while riding on a side saddle were
she to attempt to WELD her mallet on the
left side. Then she would be compelled
to reach over both of her limbs, tucked
over and under the horns of her saddle,
and attempt to reach the whirling ball
from that awkward position.
1t is the purpose of the women 70 adhere
regularly to the practice games already
begun. In casting about for opponents
they have considered a series Of intercity
matches, and if Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and Boston put teams in the
field they will be challenged forthwith BY
the Meadow Brook contingent. There are
a number of good polo players among the
hunting women Of Philadelphia. The
Rose Tree, Radnor and Upland hunt.
clubs boast some Of the best riders in
this country. Washington, too, has many
good women riders, nearly all being iden-
tilted with the Chevy Chase Hunt Club or
belonging to the army set at Fort Myer,
Virginia, where the annual horse show
and circus, in which women of both sets
participate, is held. Perhaps one of the
most brilliant horsewomen of the capital
city is Miss Katherine EIkins, who has
taken up polo, and, chances are, now that
the Meadow Brook colony has Blazed the
way, she will organize a team to take
issue with the Long Island women.
Washington has other daring horse
women aside from Miss BIkins. This was
at the recent horse show
held in that city, when in the various
jumping events women carried of nearly
Ri the ribbons. Any woman who can sue
oessfully pilot her hunter over show ring
hurdles or negotiate the jumps in a cross

Brook club assert, should make good on

ings players, no matter whom they meet.
Many Of the men who heretofore main
tained racing stables have directed their
energies to breeding and schooling polo
ponies, now that racing Is tabooed in the
United States. These ponies bring fancy
prices. and whereas a few years ago they
were more or less of a mongrel strain, to-
day they are bred with as much care, fore
sight and skill as was bestowed upon
trotters and jumpers.
1t is more than likely that the Meadow
Brook team Of women will play one or
more Of their match games at Georgian
Court, since Mr.. George Gould has done
quite as much as any other individual,
and a great deal more than many, to pop
ularize the game among the smart men
and women of this country. The nucleus
Of his polo stud came from England.
Lawrence Waterbury is a firm believer
in the future Of the women's team, and
his arguments always bear weight and
command respect in the polo colonies, for
there are few who know or play the
game better than he
There Is every reason why women
should become expert polo players" Mr..
Waterbury said. Certainly none who
has ever seen 4he Meadow Brook women
ride can doubt their prOwess as horse
women. They have ell the skill and
knowledge Of the cross country game that
man can boast. Even when they were

ask Is fair play without any favOritism Al
all We know just what the men car
do. We have seen them at practice and
while we admit that the Long Island
players are among the very best players
in the world. we are just as certain that
we have the making of a mighty strong
team selected from our women"
A journey to Westbury, Cedarhurst
and vicinity these days is. well worth
while. Whether it be early in the morn
ing. noon or late in the afternoon, a score
of women, splendidly mounted and nd.
ing with the skin of Cossacks, can be
seen putting their wiry little ponies
through their PAGES. Many Of these
women who come out for practice have
their entire strings of ponies on hand
and all are given a warming up through
the field. Their twists and turns are
marvels of skill and grace. and their
riders sit them as though glued to their
backs.
Perhaps the most reckless riders in this
colony are the Misses Hitchcock. They

and so far as their riding goes might

First Meeting of Club.

Isl NCSlILIS VI NluD.
At the first meeting of the new club,
held in the home of Mrs. Hastings, she
was unanimously chosen team manager.
This was as it should be, inasmuch as
Mrs. Hastings has been the prime mover
IN the affair. At this meeting Mrs.
Thomas Hitchcock, her two daughters,
the Misses Celestine and Ethel Hitch
cock; Mrs. Reginald Brooks, Mrs. W.
Butler Duncan, Mrs. Harold c. Phipps,
Mrs. J. S Phipps and Mrs. ]. E. S. Had
den were present. All expressed them
selves enthusiastically in favor of put
ting a strong team on the field and all
agreed to practise arddously to this end
Since this meeting many other women
have enrolled themselves as members of
the club, but they will have to register
up to a high standard if they would oust
any of the charter members from places
on the first team, for every one of them
in an expert player.
1t goes without saying that when she
returns to- the East Miss Eleanor Sears
will try for the Meadow Brook team. She
is a splendid player and already possesses
a fine string of polo ponies. Miss Emily
Randolph is another player of sterling
quality, which she proved last summel
while captaining team on Point Judith
field, near Narragansett Pier.
In that memorable struggle Miss Ran
dolph led a team composed of Mr.. Wister
Randolph, Mr. R. E. Strawbridge and Mr..
7. O'GOrman. The opposing team was
led by Miss <. Penn-Smith, Of Phila-
delphia, on which Mr.. P Bauer, Mr.. R.
Sullivan and Mr.. R. Gstins played.
For a time the game was bitterly con
tested, but Miss Randolph's players grad
ually drew ahead and won by the score
of 81 to 234 goals. Miss Randolph shol
four goals for her side and her daring
and brilliant riding, together with the
4sect manner in which she hit the ball, !
thrilled the hundreds Of spectators who
lined up in every available foot Of ground
surrounding the field.
