NIGHT SCHOOLS QUIT
ORLACK OF FUNDS
Amount Appropriated Proves to
Be insufficient to Garry on
Work Through Term.

Because the appropriation is exhaust
ed. the night schools of the District are
today closed for the remainder of the
school season and $500 men, women,
boys and girls who seek to surmount
difficulties and obtain an education
must put away their books.

II the money had been available they
would have continued until the hot
weather.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
expenses of the night schools during
the current fiscal year. OF this amount
sl7,500 was for salaries and $500 for
contingent expenses. All the money
has been used, owing to the large at
tendance at these night institutions of
learning and there remains nothing for
the Board of Education to do except to
close the schools.
Despite requests for more liberal ap-
preparation, the amount allowed by
Congress for the nighmt schools during
the fiscal year of 1914 is again so, 900.
The prospects are that they will again
be forced to closed early next year. as
Congress does not look favorably upon
deficiency appropriations to continue
them until the natural end of the sea-
son.
The shutting down of the night
schools has its human interest side and
is not a routine event. Most of those
who attend night schools represent

ENCLAND'S FIRST GAME.

Teams representing the 10th fIussars
and the 9th Lsncers had the honor at
Hounslow Heath To play the first match
I'm England.
Five wears later polo was introduced
into this country by James Gordon Ben
nett who has participated in the sport
abroad. The players were Lord Mande-
vile. Sir Bache Cunard. Colonel William
Jay. s. S Rowland. Herman Oelrichs.
Frederick Bronson. Fairman Rogers. G.
r. Fearing Hollis Hunnewell. John Mott.
W. X. Thorn. F. c. Griswod. w. i.
Douglas and James Gordon Bennett.
The lineup OF the first international
match that was held at Newport between
England and the United States In 1886
was: America. T. Hitchcock, w. Is.
Thorn. Raymond Belmont and Foxhall
Keene: England John Watson. the Hon.
p Lawley. T. Hone and Malcolm Little.
The result was 10 goals 10 in favor
of England, due to superior team work on
the part OF the Englishmen. Polo grew
rapidly from that time, and clubs we're
esta blished all over the country.
The game was first played with eight
men on a side, but il was soon found ad-
visable TO limit the number Of players TO
five on each team. owing TO the scrim-
maging that resulted from such number
nj men being on the field. In 1881 this
was reduced to four, and up to the pres
ont time a quartet OF players has been
found the most advantageous number OF
men TO represent team. There does not
seem to be any possibility that this num-

explained by the remark of the man who
