There was much good polo on both sides. Mr. Hopping and Mr. J.@A. E. Traill, well served by fast ponies, played well.
The Cavalry side played sounilly, Mr. M. P. Ansell scored twice for them, and at half-time they had only surrendered a goal of their handicap allowance. A good goal by Mr. M. D. Blair in the fifth chukker de prived them of the lead for the first time, and they were steadily worn down.
