fish polo players are gradually
assembling at Madrid, and Lord
Ashby St. Ledgers may be said to be
entering upon the first phase of his
advance on Meadow Brook The King
of Spain is taking the keenest inter
est in the enterprise.
He has extended royal hospitality to
the ponies, for nearly all of which
accommodation has been found in
the royal stables to which the King
had considerable additions made in
order to provide sufficient loose boxes
for the ponies He has also placed
his two private polo grounds at the
disposal of the English players, and
he will take part himself in the prac-
tice games.
The English players will have the
use of the Hippodrome ground, so
that given reasonable weather, they
.should enjoy plenty of galloping on a
fast, true surface. The grounds are
of a sandy nature, and the rain causes
little or no inconvenience except While
il is actually falling.
Lord Ashby st. Ledgers hopes to
secure four days week practice for
the next two months or SO, during
which the strongest combination of
men and ponies should be ascertained
beyond doubt. Mr. Buckmaster has
promised to roganize the strongest
team available in order to test the
challenging team on its return TO
England early in May, and the
matches which viii be played during
this process should prove extremely in
