Not many persons realize that the court crier says "oyez, oyez, oyez," in stead Of 1'harken, harken, harken," be- cause of a chance visit that William the Conoueror made to an English court almost 900 years ago.
 William had overun England, seized the government and placed himself at it's head. Happening to enter a court room. he heard the crier call the as- semblage to order in English William rebuked him and on the spot decreed that the business of all English courts should be transacted in Norman French, his native tongue. Afterward the courts went back to English, but to this day "oyez. oyez, oyez." ciings to court customs wherever the English language is spoken as a reminder of the great Norman who whipped King Harold in the battle of Hastings.

Heavy Rain
Crabs Polo
Prospects Are Poor for a
Round in the International
Series Today as Grass Is
Slippery.

Hampstead, n. Y, June 15.-A heavy
rain tonight threatened to cause a
postponement of the second interna-
tional polo match on the MeadoWbrook
field tomorrow. The doWnpour that
began early this morning ceased this
afternoon and the sun shone warm
The polo experts predicted that with
a continuation of fair weather tomor-
row the playing field would be fast
for the contest. Tonight's storm how
ever, put a damper on their hopes and
the belief was general that the turf
would be too heavy and the grass too
slippery to warrant the game being
played. Light practice was indulged
in by both the American and British
teams late today.
The Americans reconstructed their
lineup today for tomorroW's game,
hoping that u better result will be at
tanned. The personnel of the four re-
mains the same, but Larry Waterbury
has been shifted from back to No. 3
and DevereauN Milburn from No. to
his old post at back.
