A Runaway Pony Takes Hughes in Pavilion

By "Tie Saume"

Three polo matches were played yesterday afternoon at the Race Course. The first. match between the Britons (Johnston, Ford, Alex-ónder and Skyrme) and the Loyals (Beattie, Birley, Lechallas and Cora) ended in the elimination of Loyals and the entrance of the Britons in the finals, The Britons conceded one goal handicap and beat the Loyals by five goals to one.

The first chukker was scoreless but thrilling, as the players were doing unusually well. Ford scored twice for the Britons in the second chukker. The third chukker was again scoreless but Skyrme and Alexander scored in the fourth and the Britons were very lucky to have Cora score, for them through am error.
