Jackson Monument Guns Are Bronze SmOOthbOres

WITHIN the circular fence which
w girdles the green mound on which
the Jackson monument stands in La
fayette square are four old field guns
pointing outward from the corners OF
the white stone pedestal. They are
slightly depressed.
The guns are bronze, muzzle-load-
ing smoothbores. with a caliber OF
about two inches. They are crusted
with the gray-green which comes to
cannon with age and lends charm to
antique ordinance.
The carriages have been freshly
painted, the wood gray and the iron
parts black. The carriages are well
preserved. It seems impossible that
they can be the original carriages OF
these guns. The wheels have wooden
hubs as big as beer kegs. with four
teen spokes and seven felloes. The
lynch pin through the spindle is Of a
pattern that was superseded several
years ago by the new artillery hub
cap fastening. The elevating screws,
square wooden axles. square timber
trails, the brackets for trail hand
spike, the sllngs for rammer staffs and
the trunnion seats and fastenings
seem to mark these gun carriages as
of the Civil war type of field artil-
lery.

POLO AN OLD GAME
Sport Popular in Persia Under
Name of "Chaugan."
Women Played In Early Times, Ae-
cordlns to an Old Painting Now In
British Observation-Disclosures
In 600 3. C.

New York.-When polo was first
played in England in 1859 1t was
styled hockey on horseback" Yet
hockey itself was one Of the numer-
GUS games with stick and ball de-
rived from the common ancestor polo
They called it "chaugan" In the days
when the sport was popular with the
Persians. AS far back as the SIKH
century B. C. this sport of the Per
sian aristocracy was in hourishlhg
condition. The ancient Persian poets
sang it's praises even as do the sport
ing writer's today. The game was
played by Persian women. too. In the
British museum there is an old paint
ing of several Persian ladies playing
a game of polo. The painting shows
that the Persians bandaged the legs
of their mounts exactly as the polo
ponies are bandaged today.
The Mohammedans, when they con-
quered Persia, learned the game OF
"chaugan," and liked 1t so much that
they took it up for one of their own
sports.
The game Travelled from Persia to
Tartary, and then to India via Afghan
istan. Japan and China, too, had
games bearing a close resemblance
to it. In fact, throughout the entire
east polo was the principal game. II
derived its present name from the
pull" of the Tibetan tongue, mean
ing a willow ball
Among the natives of India the game
was "kunjai," and was introduced into
England, after having been brought 10
Calcutta by English army officers. Inc
Ninth Iancers played the first polo
match in England in 1871. There was
on great interest taken in the eporr
by the English public until many I'M
provements were made in the rules.
From eight men on a team the num-
Der of players was gradually reduced
to four.
The style of play changed also. AT
first the ball was thrown into the cen
ter of the field and all the players
spurred their horses to the center or
the field after it. This was changed
so that the teams lined up as they DO
now. The sport then became popular
in England, and, in 1880, the Hurting
ham club. now the representative polo
club in England, was formed.
Polo was introduced into the United
States in 1876 1t was first played
at Dickler's riding academy. Two
polo clubs were organized, the West
I chester Polo clnb and the Brighton
Polo club. In 1879, in the first match
in the United States, held at Prospect
park, Brooklyn, the Westchester team
defeated the Brighton team. The ia
nous Meadow Brook club was started
in 1881.

Cincinnati-prohibiting the scattering
broadcast in that city of the ashes OF

That the lay public is greatly in

creasing attendance at the annual elec-

ton and Chicago, as well as at demon
strations of household appliances Civ
en- at intervals by central stations
throughout the country. At the latest
electrical exposition in New York
there was an attendance on one eve
ming of $1,000 visitors, followed on
the next day by 10000 About 5OO,-
600 persons visited the Boston show in

ances were practically demonstrated.
