regarding the outcome of the inter
national polo series beginning tomor-
row failed to shift from the fifty
fifty" basis of speculation as the
orening whistle only a few hours
away, Its toss-up," was the in
variable view of well-informed polo
men.
Polo always the sport of kings"
is that and more, judging from the
gathering crowds which promise to
bring together one of the greatest
throngs that has ever witnessed a
polo match in Great Britain.
Opinion does not veer from the
belief that the experience and polo
knowledge of the Englishmen will
be pitted against the more dashing
but possibly more erratic play of
the Americans. Three of the Eng
lish quartet. Lieutenant Colonel
Tompkins. Major Barrett and Major
Lockett. have played before against
United States teams Lord Wode-
house is the most inexperienced of
the four and he is commonly
thought to be the hazardous link in
the British chain. England's re-

Harrison and Captain Palmes avail

@. M. Pennock, local manager of tho
Western Union Telegraph Co., who has
returned from a threc-day conference
held at the Longacre Hotel. Philadel-
phia. brings home the good word OF
decisively reflected Improvement in
tho general business conditions of the

the territory comprising Delaware. New

Quoted by T. w. Carroll. general man.
ager. and A. c. Kaufman. general COM
mercial agent for the company.
The main purpose of the meeting was
to arrive at some conclusion relative to
various improvements and to decide
upon definite plan to enable the COM
pany to handle the increased telegraph
business which is expected as a result
of the business readjustments. The
telegraph has been known heretofore
to be safe barometer Of prevailing
general business conditions and Mr..
Pennock advices that the information
received at the conference and the re-
ports submitted by the various man.
ayers very strongly brought out the
fact that there is a gratifying improve
ment in business throughout the entire
country. Reports originating from well
established and authenticated CONNER
cial sources point out that the tide is
rapidly turning.
Most of the large business houses are
already in full swing and others are
heading that way. The American peo-
pie are again apparently spending with
the city retail shops more freely than
they did. and since the present prices
are much lower the buyers are natur-
ally getting more for their money. Sta
biliZatio1 has been growing to such an
extent that the markets are unrespon-
sive to bad news and On the other hand
quite suspectible to good news. The OBJ
legations of the telegraph company dur
ing this adjusting period was fully
and forcibly reviewed with the attend
ing managers and great stress was laid
upon the personal responsibility with
which each employe is charged, at this
important time. when the telegraph is
playing so large a part as first aid to
business reconstruction.
Meetings similar to the one held in
Philadelphia are being conducted
throughout the companys system in the
United States.
