The British polo team defeated 'he
Americans in the first game for the in
ternat .ona' cap at The Meadow Brook
Hunt Club field yesterday by a score Of
Sia to 8.
The challsngers surprised Their OPP
ponents and a crowd Of $4,000 by their
skill. dash and team work as we'll as by
the quality q their rolies. They oat-
played and outgaliorel the defenders
and hal also a little luck on their sid,.
The Americans appeared to lack the
team work in attack Of last year. Neither
Lawrence Waterbury nor Devereux
Milburn seemed to be as efficient in
his present position as he had been In
the one he had played for years.
The cup contest is for the best two
out of three games, and If the British
win again on Tuesday the trophy will
, return TO England, where 1t was first
held. II the Americans win a third
game will be necessary.
The game was witnessed by - notable
gathering of people and the setting was
as impressive as splendid fields, gor-
geous decoration, perfect weather and
fashionable costumes could make 1t.

deliver n message to the mediators and
was closeted for about half an hour
with Minister Naon of Argentina, the
other two diplomats being absent from
the hotel at the time.
After the meeting held this morning
Justice Lamar said to THE Sun corre-
spondent:
We have begun the discussion OF the
questions of organization and personnel
where we have either agreed or dis
agreed. We will continue the discussion
at our next conference"
1t was agreed here tonight that this
matter will occupy several other con-
ferences before 1t is definitely settled.
Great secrecy is being observed regard
ing the names submitted by either side
and absolutely no precise information
on this subject is obtainable here.
1t became known here to-day that
not only will the delegates and medl-
ators endeavor To agree upon n man
to succeed Gen. Huerta as provisional
President but they will also select the
men who are to occupy the leading posts
in the Mexican Cabinet, ii tney succeed
in reaching common ground. This was
taken by some to mean that a commits

Rebel Reply Not Received.
nothing had been heard from Gen. Car
rama, and statements made by the
medlators plainly indicated that the
rebel chieftain had been completely
eliminated from the discussions at the
conference. The Carranza note, which
was supposed to have arrived here last
night, has not been received.
The entire proceedings will now CEN
tire around the selection OF names and
no other issue will be taken up before
this has been settled and put into writ
ing, together with the first protocol
providing for the elimination Of Huerta.
The mediators received reply to-day
from Mr.. Bryan to their note regarding
the shipment of arms carried to Tam
pco by the liner Antilla. Although II
was impossible to ascertain In detail the
precise nature of this reply 1t Is be-
lieved that the Secretary Of State merely

gates it is known that the man mem

will never receive the support of the
Huerta representatives.
The Mexican delegates assert that
their opposition Is based on the attitude
of Gen. Huerta in the matter and on
their own belief that the man named
would at no time he able to restore
peace in Mexico. They consider that
this man is a danger to the country and
II can be stated now that his candidacy
will have to be withdrawn IL the nego-
tiations are to continue.

The Washington Government still in

to the conference, but the medlators
have not changed their attitude in this
respect. 1t Is said that they will OPP

horror OF the accident"
But, to comfort her there came the
old man who was her fathers lawyer
and he made her a present of the rail-
road that had killed her father, and
other railroads and other things too
many and too valuable to mention. lie
gave her this million and .that--maybe
a hundred of them and more -bu; she
could not be comforted.
Nor did it comfort her during the
ten minutes In which the Bishop con-
signed the dust which was her father
unto the dust OF which he had been
made to know that all the locomotives
of all the trains OF all the railroads
of all the United States stood still upon
their rails during these ten minutes,
and that all the travellers and engineers
and conductors and brakcmen and train
boys in all the trains spoke Of her
father in low voices and honored his
memory, and said how great he had
been.
Thus all those who really loved the
Little IIciress passed out OF her life and
she was taken to live with her fathers

and her husband lived, when their
household was stationary. in one of sew
eral houses. They had two white ones
made of marble one that stood on a
corner and looked over Central Park In
New York city and one that was in
Newport and looked over the ocean.
There was "a red brick house with
white trimmings in London and an old
house made of wood In Westminster,
which Aunt katharincs husband called
Home" in which they visited for u
week every year in the spring time: and
they had another wooden house. very
new and comfortable in little South
ern town called Aiken. And they had a
brownstone house with battlements in
the city where the Little Heircss had
been born. but they only lived in that
when they had to. ION business"
But although Aunt Katharine had SO
many pleasant homes TO go to she was
the happiest when she was travelling.
And some people thought she was not
very happy then. and everybody knew
that she never went 10 Paris. And oven
the Little Heiress knew why. Aunt
katharine's little boy had died in Paris.
That was why.
He had taken the scarlet fever IN
London probably and on the way to
Paris he had come down with II. And
Aunt katharine had driven all over
Paris with him looking for a bed to put
him In. But that cold, rainy day there
were no beds to be had in Paris no, not
for the million francs that Aunt Kath-
arine could have drawn her check for.
She tried the hotels, and they would not
have the sick boy: she tried to hire a
house. but the landlords feared the sick
boy like grim death. And Aunt Kath-
