Pony Badly Lacerated.

The play, on dry field with no sun,
was rough 20 a degree, although there
were no dismounts. Near the end of
the game Hopping's pony. Pretty Boy,
probably the most valuable pony in the
tournament, was struck in the throat
by a mallet and badly lacerated, blood
streaming down his breast.
Col Treat had a busy afternoon
keeping the players within the boards
and assessing penalties. The Tigers
fol feited two fun points on fouls, while
and three-quarter points on fouls. Cool
playing and great teamwork won for
the Tigers. The Westmoreland quartet.
relying on its handicap, played de-
fensive game for two periods, but, see
ing the handicap was not sufficient to
keep back the fast-fying Tigers, the
losers started to rush the ball in the
third period. The Westmorelands,
garbed in red, missed goal shot after
shot
In the fourth period the fast work
continued, Smith riding through for
the first Westmoreland goal, after
Hopping had landed two balls between
the posts for the Tigers. The playing
of Hopping for the Tigers and Smith
for the WcstnorclandS was the feature
of the contest. The eighth period saw
the ball in the center of the field
throughout, and gave the gallery a
near view of the clever ponies and
their skillful riders.

GOV. TRAMMELL TESTIFIEs.
Florida Executive Here in Land
Case Before Justice Gould.

Park Trammell, Governor of Florida,
was witness late yesterday after
noon before Justice Gould in Circuit
Division l of the District Supreme
Court at a hearing on a mandamus pro-
ceedinS brought by Allen B. Hender-
son of Florida against Secretary Lane
and Clay Tallman, commissioner Of the
general land Office. The testimony of
the governor was curtailed by a sug-
gestion from the court that his official
actions were contained in the official
state records and that the latter were
the best method of proof. The hear
ing was continued until Monday morn
ing, when Secretary Lane and Com
missioner Tallman will be called as
witnesses for the petitioner. Gov.
Trammell returned to Florida at the
completion of his testimony.
The case grew out of the relinquish-
ment of eighty acres of land by the
state of Florida in an adjustment of
title with the federal government and
the subsequent attempt by Florida to
regain possession under a swamp land
act. In the interval Mr.. Henderson had
settled on the land and filed his land
claim at Gainesville, which, he claims.
has priority over the claim of the state
for the return of the land.
Attorneys p. II. Loughran and B.. W.
Marshall appear for the claimant.
Solicitor Vogelsang represents the Off
cials of the Interio department.
