Polo started in earnest yesterday afternoon when more than thirty players turned up at the polo ground n the Race Course for pick chukkers, starting soon after 3 o'clock.
The Field Secretary had his hands full in making up chukkers and taking down names but at the end of the day everyone had his full share of fun.
In order to avoid confusion on Saturday afternoons, when nearly all the players want to play, it is requested that the practice of previous years be continued by teams and/or individuals who wish to play on Saturdays sending in their names in writing to the Hon. Field Secretary, Mr. A. E. Arnold, not later than noon Fridays, stating name or names, number of ponies and chukkers required. Members who send in their names are certain of having their games provided, if it is not an eight or ten-chukker request Yesterday was confined to scratch pick-ups and although the Durhams Who were about fifteen strong last y have left, the Seaforths and East Surreys are going for this sport hook, line and sinker, But their misfortune is not being able to mount themselves properly.
