POLO NOTES.

TO-MORROW'S BIG MATCH,

(Contributed.)

To-morrow (Friday) the "Green Howards" team will meet the Hong Kong Polo Club in the, finals of a series of niatches which they are

playing here. The Green Ho wards" defeated the Hong Kong Civilians last week by one goal and on Monday they overcame the Army in Hong Kong by goals to 1. Tó-morrow's match should prove a close and interesting one and while I am inclined to favour the elances of our visitors nevertheless, I believe they will have to work to win. The line up will be as follows: The "Groen Howards."Bark, Mr. Yeatman Biggs: Nor-3.-"Mr., Smerton; No. 2, Capt. Berber: No 1. Collins; Reserve Mr. Eden,
