fear at their heels was 1t any won

q BCRET chapters OF history, even
=. of social and sporting history,
are far more interesting than
those which are open for all to read.
The apat thy, the open hostility, OF
English society toward the polo
team which came TO New York this
year to fight for the cup has been in
applicable to the general public, not
only in this country, but in Europe.
But this attitude is all made clear in
some secret chapters of English
social life which are here presented
to the public for the first time.
From these chapters it is seen that
the aristocracy of England places it's
own Importance first, with patriotism
and craftsmanship playing a bad
last. English society would rather
have lost the cup than to have had
it won by the Wimborne team. The
beautiful Viscountess CurZon was one
of the bitterest foes of the team, and
threw all her influence over to the
Westminster crowd.
Polo has always been the sport OF
kings and millionaires. 1t has never
New York and in England, for those
whose incomes stopped short of five
figures Q An aura of extravagant
wealth, OF sublime aristocracy, has
always surrounded the game. The
men who played in the tournaments
in this country anc England must be
of the purest. bluest blood 1t had
always been thus, and thus, thought
aristccratic England. it would al
ways continue to be.
In accordance with this belief,
after losing the polo cup TO the Am
erican big Four" Harry Payne
Whitney, Larry Waterbury. Dever-
eux Milburn and Monte Waterbury,
the aristocrats OF England, headed
by the Duke of Westminster, sent
three years in succession a team TO
win 1t back. This team was purely
OF the aristocracy. Each time it
went sadly back to England in utter
Tout. The American Big Four"
played all round them. Last June,
when the defeated team reached
home, England decided that she had
had enough. She, or rather the aris-
tocratic Duke of Westminster and
his friends, had spent half a million
to win the cup and, 10. the team re.
turned without a game to it's credit.
Therefore the Duke and England
said:
I'VE have had enough. We will
not compete next year. 1t Is too ex-
pensiye."

that cup brought back to England.
From out Of this group strobe the
wealthy, but not so aristocratic Lord
Wimborne, and with one throw he
flung his gauntlet in the faces OF
British and American aristocracy.
III send a team to America, and
III send one that win bring back the
cup"
And at once English society was
split in twain. The ultra aristocrats
lined up with the Duke Of West
minister, while OF course those who
dearly love lord, and more dearly
still, love duke, fell in line with
the Westminster clique. Those who
placed sportsmauship above class
SIDED with Wimborne and hoped him
luck in forming his team.
As the financial hacker, Wimborne
was given the privilege OF inviting
the men to serve on his team. He
began of course, by asking those
who had formed the Westminster
teams. He asked Lord Wodehouse,

He asked Captain Vivian Lockett

prevent his playing.

Blanco. after repeated assurances to
the diplomatic corps that he would
not evacuate the city, withdrew and
the Zapata forces Mt once began their
entry.
The announcement OF the evacua
ton OF General Blanco was made In
oficial dispatches received at the state
department. They made no mention
OF any disturbance In the capital up
to that hour.
Private dispatches filed later said
that serious disorder occurred in the
Mexican capital when a mob gathered
In front OF the national palace. Later
the mob marched to stores where
arms and ammunition were kept, bat
tered down the doors and sacked the
places of their contents. There was
much shooting. but thus far, according
to reports, the casualties are few.
The police were powerless, as the
few remaining In the city were strip
ped OF their arms by the mob. After
a few hours OF rioting the mob, which
had been growing constantly, broke up
into smaller bodies and the looting OF
pawnshops and other establishments
In various sections of the city was
begun.
Street Cars Stopped.
All street car service was stopped,
