The Qudnuncs. although they haG never

terry Of the game after the carly periods
At the start the misses were more fire.
ouent than clean hits. but in the last
three periods the visitors showed them
selves snappy hitters, and displayed eX-
cclIent team tactics. J. 4. Trail and
Lord Wimborne were the chief goal max
ers. each accounting for three. while Cap
tain Barrett and Trail we're the fighters
of the four
The ponies proved 10 he a nimble and
Wei trained lot but not the marvels IN
speed that some had expected to see.
Beadleston and Webb, who rode their
own ponies as a rule held the British
opponent safe in the races for the ball,
which is the crucial test OF speed at polo.
The Quidnuncs. as well as Captain
y
their mallct shafts loosely and swung
usually once as a preliminary stroke be-
fore making the real hit They sat well
down in their saddles and straight. when
balancing for hit. which is a mannerism
that costs qulckness, and has been made
familiar here by preceding challenging
teams.
They we're quick and accurate at stick
work in meeting the ball and seemed to
hit at all angles neatly.
Beadlcston and Webb made between
them four of the five goals gained by
their side In riding off and hooking
they held their own fairly well. Trails
goals were made when he went up as
80 !.
The Due de Penerands could not often
-ct past Barrett and Trail. His one
aoal was by a short hit on ball Webb
haJ placed for him with three strokes
and n ride from middle field. Then he
vas stopped by Barrett. and the due
had an opportunity. Captain Lockett
seemed q stronger back than Trail, but
as the game brought the latter so much
among the forwards the comparative test
was hardly fair one.
II was an excellent showing for the
FIRST appearance with new formation
and i'm a new land.
