There we're no raindrops to mar the

Yesterday, but on account Of the soft
turf the game was not started until
the gray Of the evening.

on level terms, and Meadow Brook won
for the second year the coveted trophy
and the minor cups that arc won out
right. by beating the Coronado four.
The score was 6ie to q goals. Both
teams were on their mettle and well
mounted. and the game was one OF the
briskcst seen this season
When his mount turned too short
during the third period, c. ?. Beadles-
ton. No. . for Coronado and for years
the holder of that position on the most
famous of CoopcrstOwn teams, had
bad fall and had 90 withdraw from the
game. Rene La Montague became his
substitute and earned one Of the three
tallies scored by Coronado.
The mishap occurred after four min
utes Of play in the third period, when
the mount, which had previously turned
too short near the side lines at the
scorers box. fell as the rider whirled
about TO follow the course of the ball.
Both man and horse hit the turf to-
gether, but the horse, after almost
rolling on Beadleston, fell clear, and
the rider was not seriously hurt.

Particularly prominent, playing the
same four mounts ne had out on Sat
urday in this order: Merido. Siren,
Chestnuts and Royal Diamond the lat
ter importation being the quickest
at pivoting for a lighting turn ever

the only goal Of the first period, Stod-
dard was forced 20 A safety hit
Whitney was again the only scorer
in he second period, in which both
