could stand the expense of this coming con-

for half a million for the Americans, and the
Duke of Westminster stepped into the breach
for the English. The Duke however only
put up three hundred thousand OF his own

raised through popular subscriptions opened
by the newspapers and through the individual
efforts of the polo players of the United
