The millions for whom polo exists
only as an abstraction as 1t is to the
few whose eyes have seen the ex-

All of us are playing polo or the

own quartet should lose, we shall
have had the exulation that comes
from competing in a ilercely- fought
contest between two sides of honor
able sportsmen.
The cup itself is small thing.
Even if it crosses the water. we can
see it go without tears, for il will
have been we'll won and we'll lost.
and il may come back again. The
big thing, the permanent possession
OF us all, is the spectacle Of these
