Polo Game Is Played.
The polo game, between teams rep
resentinE the 18th L. s. cavalry and
the Free hooters, although started be-
fore the finish Of the ring events. drew
the attention Of the crowd and so
well contested and close did it prove to
be, that the outcome was not decided
until the last 20 seconds of play.
Hard and clever riding marked the
game and but one spill occurred. which,
however, caused no injury or delay.
For the first part Of the game the
Freebooters were pretty much on the
defnsive but they came back strongly
in the last period and Lieut. Y. P. En-
win shot the deciding goal which put
his team in the lead by the score of
= to 1-2.
Brilliant drives with clever checking
and back hand strokes characterized
the play and so hard a game was il 10
lose that the cavalry team viii chal-
lenge its opponents TO a return game
in the near future
Officers Jumping Disappointing
But one event proved Disappointing
during the afternoon. that of the Of
ficers' jumping in pairs. This occurred
through the fact that the hurdles were
too narrow, causing the horses TO shy
at taking the jumps together, and in
several instances refusing the jump
altogether
