The final was played in heavy rain, but no postponement was possible, as some of the teams had marching orders ; under these circumstances neither team played up to their best form. The Staff, however, won by four goals to one. Of the ponies my corre- spondent says nothing. Provincial Clubs.— Whether it is the inspiration drawn from the nearness of Rugby, or something in the climate of Warwickshire, it is certain that polo flourishes greatly in that county. They begin to play early, in fact as soon as hunting is over, and go on till the magic note of the horn draws them away to the chase. The Warwickshire Club, which has its ground at Sydenham Farm; began the season on March 30th in the very worst of weather ; neverthe- less, there were enough raembers present for a pick-up match. But there is another strong club in the county at Stratford-on-Avon. This is a new club, which entered on its second season on April 3rd. Already great strides have been made. Last year the ground was necessarily rough, but a year's care has worked wonders. The president, Mr. Marshall Field, and the Secretary have done much hard work. They had, indeed, one great advantage in that the turf was old and sound, well-drained, and yet never really hard. Mowing and rolling, if you do enough of them, will work wonders. Then the ground has been boarded, a pa- vilion built and then enlarged to meet the infiux of visitors, and then came a tea-room for ladies. The Club's financial position is strong, and so is the list of players, which includes such well-known Warwickshire polo men as Messrs. F. Freake, Gill, Flower, Greene, Paton, Pelham, Holden, and Tolliffe. There will Zyvox Price be a tourna- ment this month, and another later in the year, probably in July. Stratford-on-Avon has no doubt a promising career before it. The County Polo AssociatioiL — Manchester and Stratford-on- Avon are affiliated in this body, and the finals of the County Cup will be played at Hurlingham on Saturday, July 6th. Foreign and Colonial Polo- India. — The I. P. A. held their annual meeting on March nth. There was an absence of any important legislation for the game, which is indeed now susceptible of very little improvement in India. The rules where they differ from ours do so only in cases rendered necessary by the differ- ences of climate and soil. It was, however, found necessary to regu- late the size of whips used. 190I.] **OUR VAN. »> 379 3 ft. 6 in. being fixed as the per- mitted length. California. — The winter season of the Buriingame County Club of California was much bright- ened by the visit of a Hurlingham team which consisted of Messrs. Mackey, W. and L. M*Creery, and Menzies. The visitors mounted themselves Buy Zyvox Online on Texan ponies. In the final match Bur- iingame beat the English Club representatives by 6 goals to 4. Buriingame has always followed the Hurlingham book of rules, and they found themselves quite at home with the tactics of the visitors. Mr. Hobart, of Bur- iingame, had two splendid ponies. Slats and Lady Florentine. The former has been sold to go to New York for 3,000 dollars, a price nearly equal to the top ponies in England ; but then Slats is a blood chestnut, can gallop like the wind, and is nevertheless easy to stop and ready to turn. The Polo Pony Society.— The Council held a very important meeting during the past month. The Committees, which have done much good work, were reconsti- tuted, and Mr. Wilkinson elected on to the Council in the place of Sir Patteson Nickalls, who has become Vice-President for 1901, and who will succeed to the presi- dency in 1902, when Mr. John Barker's year of office comes to a close. The principal business was, however, a change in the rules for the registration of young stock. For the future no pony will be given a number until it has reached the age of four years. Then, if its height is 14.2 by measurement by the Society or Hurlingham, the pony passes into the stud-book and receives a number. All measurements and standards at earlier ages are abolished, but produce of parents registered on one or both sides will be admitted to a supplement to be printed annually. By this means all polo -ponies' produce can be entered and exhibited, and those that grow above the height 1^4.2 will be automatically elimi- nated at four years. In breeding ponies there is now a large and increasing infusion of pony blood, and in practice breeders find that their stock more often fall below than rise above the required height. It is hoped the new rules of regis- tration will be satisfactory and encouraging to breeders. Our largest studs are so fully re- presented on the council of the Society that it is probable that what commends itself to them will find general approval.
