The real sportsman spirit prevailed from, the moment
that the American polo committee, without even a
suggestion from the Britons, postponed the first game
because of the injury to Capt Cheape, the visitors
mainstay. The Americans might have insisted playing
while Cheape disabled and they might have retained
the cup but there would have been less glory in

Gov. GLYHH sHuHs POLITICS.
Hobby Of New York Exes.tive II
Improving Farn Conditions.


Gov. Martin H. GIynn. of New York.
keen-eyed and alert. was at the Shore
ham yesterday, here to deliver an address
at the Georgetown University commence
ment- He was accompanid by j. Har-
rison Power. a Washington boy and
Georgetown graduate, who has achieved
success in the Empire State.
Not word would Gov. Giynn say about
the interesting political situation In New
York. He Ii filed, rather, with snthu-
eiasm over the successful operation Of
the laws which he forced through the leg
islature to improve the condition of the
farmer and TO encourage labor to seek
the soil Gov. Giynn made study Of
agricultural conditions in Germany, and
the laws which he has given New York
are largely based on what he learned
there. Especially successful are the agri-
cultural cooperative societies which are
rapidly multiplying in the State and
which enable the farmers to buy and sell
on sound economic principles
The governor il satisfied from results
already apparent that these societies will
eventually be the means Of saving the
farmers of the State millions OF dollars
annually.
He has given much time and thought
to experiments in the economical con-
struction OF good roads. and has already
accomplished great improvements and a
large saving in expenditures.
New Workers in touch with the politi-
cal situation say Gov. Glynn will un-
doubtedly be chosen as the Democratic
candidate for governor at the primaries.
His popularity up State Is unbounded,
and he is practically assured of Tam
many's support. His friends are only
hoping the Progressives will put q can
didate in the field.

MEXIC0's HERD OF CATTLE.
No SuppIy from that Country for
Some Years to Come.

No Supp1y from tnat Country Tor
Some Years to Come.
One Of the effects of the long continued
war in Mexico has been the diminution
in numbers of its cattle, which formerly
amounted to many millions of heads on
the vast plains OF the plateau.
Hundreds of thousands Of the cattle
have been slaughtered by the bands, raid
ing columns and armies which have been
constantly in the field. other hundreds OF
thousands have been stolen or confiscat-
ed and millions have been shipped or
driven out Of the country to be turned
into cash by either the possessors for the
time being or the legal owners.
The largest herds of cattle in Mexico
were those of the northern states, the
states north Of San Luis Potosi Zacatecas
and Tepic, and this entire region has
been swept clean of cattle and farm
products by the soldiers and the bands
that call themselves soldiers that ac-
company the armies in the field.
Great numbers of these cattle have
been driven across the boundary line be-
tween the United States and Mexico and
have been sold to buyers in the United
States.
No class Of plunder and loot is more
eagerly sought by the rebel commanders
AGO.
their followers or to bring cash to their
pockets or bank accounts in the border
towns of the United States.
The herds were carefully rounded up
and turned into cash at the earliest pos
sible moment by the colonels and gen.
erals who were out for liberty and loot,
the constitution and confiscation. patriot
ism and plunder. -
For three years Mexico has contributed
annually a supply of cattle to this coun-
try far greater than normally and the
cattle buyers of-Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona have secured large numbers at
low prices from lawful. owners eager to
convert them into cash before they could
be seized by robber bands, and from
agents of the robber bands, quick to dis
pose of thep after seizure from their
legal owners.
The result Is that Mexico's herds are
less in total numbers of cattle now than
they have been for fifty years and very
few cattle will now be shipped from the
country, as there is little or no surplus
after the home demand for meat Is sup
piled.
This country's supply Of cattle from
Mexico may be considered as terminated
for the next five or ten years.-cincinnati

The Best and the Worst.

This nation has now the best railway service in
the world and the nations which own their railways
have the worst. The American people have too much
practical sense to trade sound for foundered
horse. The United States controls its roads without
having actually to administer them 1t has, there
fore every advantage that government ownership
could give and none of the disadvantages. 1t is
the railroads only that have any of complaint.
