the winners.

out-ridden by the American mil
lionair* s who represent the
Meadowbrook club.
The English team have kept a
string of American polo ponies in
this country for nearly a year,
sending men into the western
country to secure the best that

the superior ponies ridden by the
American team.

English Polo r.lub, were brought
across the sea several months
ago.
Five games will be played to de
cide the championship, the team
winning three games wins the
