are not any too close to their best
form, while the foreigners seem to
be right at the top of their game.
The more we see of their PONIES the
more evident it is that the English
are almost sure to have an advant-
age in this respect. In the matches
two years ago, the Americans seemed
to excel in the excellence of the
horses. AS to the ability of the con-
testants, that is the mooted ques-
ton. Surely there is not. much diff
ference, if any. with what advantage
there might be in our favor. AS
was the case two years ago, the
Americans will plunge into the fray
full of confidence. No one could pos
sibly we'll forget the manner of the
opened in the first contest. Harry
Payne Whitney, who played a dash
ing game throughout, gave the Eng
lishmen little time to consider any
cially Larry Waterbury, knew no
Efear and they put their opponents on
the defensive in such a certain man
ner that they remained there until
! the champ ionship had been decided.
Complaint then was made that the
visitors were not as well supplied
with ponies as were we. Now the
shoe is on the other foot Perhaps
we will be able to prove superiority
both ways, although our most SAN
guine supporters are giving the shade
to the Englishmen.

A jockey was killed at Belmont
Park and poloist was badly In
jured at Philadelphia. Still the death
of Luther McCarty in the prize ring
is referred to as a. ''crying shame!"

There is a letter at the Evening
Star Office for Fred Hill, the cyclist.
o
These few lines" were brought to
the Evening Star Office by the poet
himself They are being published at
his request:
TRIBUTE TO LUTHER MCCARTHY.
1t is the cruelest thing that ever you
did hear,
That McCarty lost his life and title
That He won last New Year.
On the oath day of May He coldly
lay Dead in the ring,
Defending what he loved so well that
brought him wealth and every
thing.
/ He was as tender-h hearted as baby,
He had the courage of lion.
You see how He made Morris, Flynn
and Palzer take the count of nine.
He was the real white hope that
could hammer Black Jack;
When it failed all the rest of them and
| Jeffries could not come back.
| Now it's up to Gunboat Smith to
make the balls roar,
And do the same to Black Jack as He
did to big Wells and the Boar.
