Dinah was product of New Or.
leans, a big, plump, "yaller gal" who
could cook the finest dinners for miles
around. One day new butler ap-
peared upon the scene, and Dinahs
mistress noticed that she took great
interest In the man. At last her mis-
tress could stand her curiosity no
longer and asked:
"Dinah. do you know that new
mani"
Dinah took another long and scru.
tinizing look and then slowly and rem

There are many poloists who can

Of ponies and hire q trainer. Most Of
these men have from three to six po-

ponies in 4 public training stable. The
cost is $50 a month for each pony.
These public trainers hire stable lads

MES. One boy looks after four ponies.
The actual cost OF feed for pony is
$lz month.
Some OF the expenses other than
those OF buying and maintaining the
ponies, cost the players many dollars.
The balls, made OF light willow. are
furnished to the Polo association at
ten cents each. One firm has con-
tract to furnish the polo associations
with 10000 balls. The mallets are
worth from So to $3.50 each. The
heads OF the mallet are frequently

bred for that purpose. In 1876, when
the first games OF polo were played
in New York. 1t was possible to buy
ponies for prices ranging from $S5 to
500. Mr.. Herbert once bought pony
for $35 that afterward developed into
crackerjack and his value scared to
$4,000. OF course that was an excep-
ton. Nowadays ponies suitable for
polo cost from $500 to $4,000 each.
When Mr.. Whitney prepared for his
campaign in England in 1909 he spent
$S5, 900 for ponies. Since then he has
added many more to his string and
has spent at least 100000. Il will be
seen By this that he has expended IN
the neighborhood of $125,000 for po-
nies alone. One of his ponies cost
him $4,000. This was the hgh-water
mark paid for any pony, but many
good ponies have cost $1,000. The
duke of Westminster has spent in the
neighborhood of s125.O00 for his ag.
gregation Of ponies. The ponies that
we're used In the international matches
were made up in large part Of those
owned by Mr.. Whitney and the duke
of Westminster. Several ponies. how
ever. have been donated for the use
Of the players by various Americans
and Englishmen who are interested in
the game.
1T takes several years Of hard
training to make pony suitable for
pole playing. He ID usually bought
when three years of age and for two
years 10 taught the elementary parts
OF the game. such as not to shy at the
mallet, to follow the ball, to "breake
quickly and to obey the slightest touch
Of the reins on his neck. Most ponies
are trained SO that the rider may
guide them by simply touching them
on the right or left side of the neck
with the reins.
Many persons not familiar with polo
consider the fastest pony the best
