at the same time will have another try
out on the international field.
Many polo enthusiasts visited the Pip
Ing Rock grounds at Locust Valley yes
terday in the hope OF seeing the wish
tors In action. but the best that happened
were couple OF sessions in which all
seven OF the Britishers galloped the
ponies over the field. The tournament
games held at Piping Rock recently have
rendered the field cuppy and after the gall
looping exercises II was announced that the
Britons would conduct their practice on
the Meadow Brooks grounds. where the
turf Is in much better condition. The

The GnS nSfss' or ' iSe ponies showed
that the Englishmen had IA number OF
dependable animals OF true polo stock.

speed as for hardness. Nearly all had
the faculty OF quick turning, the most
noticeable In this feature being Star,

In the hands OF Major Barrett. and Min
ME ridden by Mr.. Trail. II was learned
unofficially that Energy. the Duke Of
Westminster's famous pony, would not
be used In the International contest.
This mare was knocked down in storm
on the voyage over and in her recent
gallops has shown disposition TO slow
down in a manner that leads to the be-
lief that she Is not at her best.
