THE CHINA MAIL.

On the Polo Club's ground at Causeway Bay yesterday afternoon, the Interporters who are due to try conclusions next Wednesday, tried out their alloted ponies and judging from the form exhibited both by the Manila representatives and our own players, the Interport match promises to be an exciting affair. It should be very closely contested.
