Cup Regained by America

London, June 22.

The second polo test match, between teams representing England and the United States, resulted in a win for the Americans by 10 goals to 6. America thus regains the Cup.

The Prince of Wales, Princess Mary, the Duke of Connaught and the King of Spain were present at Hurlingham to-day. The teams were the same as those which played in the first match last Saturday.

Stoddard scored three times for America in three minutes in the first chukker, Lockett, tne English back, missing badly on two occasions. Barrett then opened England's score with a beautiful goal which resulted in one goal-judge being charged over and having to be carried off the field in an ambulance. Wodehouse (England) played wonderfully. Barrett missed a penalty.

England, although e'ways behind, were the better team, but their shooting was weak. Play on the whole was faster than on Saturday. England attacked continually to the end.

Milburn, the American back, was off colour. Stoddard scored six of the American goals.—Reuter.
