who have been Iurking in the wooded: fastnesses of Kiangwan, and worshipping strange polo gods, at swered the war ery of Big Chief. Rodger and Lone Wolf Franklin, and decking themselves with their war paint and mallet shaped impiements of warfare, they hit the Long trail for the isolated group of International settlers. Their raid was a lightning one, and disastrous to the polo playing dwellers in the open plains: of Shanghai.
They were mounted on hard and wiry steeds, superior to the luxury fed ponies of the local inhabitants, and they promptly fell upon the British garrison cavalry. Having secured the scalp of Major Robin- 1 som, who at one time commanded this strange branch of their enemy, and having utterly routed his troops, they went triumphantly on, giving battle to that nomad clan the Mix Max, undaunted by the efforts of their fearsome red headed advance scout, Hayes.
This clan was annihilated in close combat, and with the scalp of MeMichael and his partially trained levies dangling at their waist belts, they proceeded to raid the pavilion, where the females of the local colony had taken refuge, and who treacherously applauded their entry, then, uttering strange cries they sank wearily to rest.
The Matches As readers will by vow have gathered, Shanghai had it thoroughly put across them, The afternoon opened with a four chukker match between the Norfolk Regiment and the Wiltshire Regt., the latter winning by the comfortable margin of five goals to one, this being partly accounted for by the fact that the Norfolk Regt. were.trying out some of their younger members. Play throughout was not of a high, standard, as the ponies of both regiment were slow, and not quick enough in tarning. Consequently there were many méléee, and it seemed an interminably long time before the ball emerged, The long hitting of the two defenders, Heaven and de Wilton, was interesting and would have been far more effective if their forwards had picked them up. The match ended with the Norfolk Reet. desperately but unsuccest 3 fally attempting to recover the lo ground.
Light Horse v. Cowboys Contrary to expectation this wi 4 disappointing match. The first chukker resulted in neither scoring, though the Light Horse were Pressing most of the time, but in the "second chukker the Cowboys settled down and took four goals off the Light Horse. The latter team went utterly to pieces, Robinson was hitting erratically, and taking too many chances in meeting the ball instead of turning: and playing back handers, Pollock was too much inclined to play from the boards, instead of rds, consequently Greig and Keswick had to come farther back to assist in the defence, and their opportunities of making dashes down the field were thereby curtailed, The third chukker opened with the Cowboys vigorously attacking and scoring another goal. The Light Horse then pulled themselves momentarily together and scored two goals.
The last chukker was fast and play equally divided, but no score Cant. De Witton. 10 4 Capt Beate F233 Lieut. Grove 00.
