ness are the qualifications that make
polo players, then-the Fourth Cavalry
combination, composed of officers from
schofeld Barracks, has the makings of
cracker.jack four.

Lieutenants Cullom, Lyman, Cheney and
Cook, with Lieutenant Flint in reserve,
as representative of the Fourth Cav
airy, met defeat at the hands Of that
great polo combination, the Oahu team,

were pitted against combination that
has earned its laurels on the polo fields
of Hawaii and California. Messrs
Castle, Dillingham;, Baldwin, Rice and
MacfaTlane are tried aud true veterans

as an individual star. Every fine point

drawn that Oahu would win. Right of
