AH who wished, might have seen them play in high class games, and the man who plays polo has learned that on well - trained ponies polo is the most delightful game on earth ; on badly-schooled animals it is about as amusing as fishing when the fish won't bite. Had the writer of this note the means, and was he still playing polo, no price would seem too high for a pony that suited him. A 386 BAILYS MAGAZINE.

Crioklewood. — This old-estab- lished club has a fine level new ground, as well as a practice ground, the necessity of which latter is now felt by every club that wishes to enrol first-class players. Polo Ponies at Dublin.— The two classes for polo ponies formed a strong attraction at Dublin Spring Show, whilst the fact that there were forty-two entries in the made class, and seventy-one in the unmade one, added materially to the success of this portion of the exhibition. Nor can it be denied that the judges — Captain T. Hine, of Navan, and Captain F. Wise, 13th Hussars — found plenty of most excellent material before them, but the fact remains that there was nevertheless a good deal of the miscellaneous element to be found amongst the entry. Still, the gentlemen who were instrumental in working up this portion of the Spring Show are to be congratulated upon the excel- lent results that attended their efforts, and it is safe to prophesy that the polo classes at Dublin have come to stay. If we are not mistaken, a large share of the suc- cess of this department is due to the efforts of Major Rimington. According to the conditions of entry, speed, temper, mouth, manners, handiness, and height — i4h. 2in. — had all to be taken into consideration by the judges in the made class, and the gentlemen who awarded the prizes are en- titled to every possible credit for the patience they displayed in » arriving at correct conclusions re- garding the respective merits of the competitors ; in fact, the judg- ing operations became almost tediously protracted, so that by the-time the names of the winners in the last class were announced there were not a score of spectatcxs left on the ground, the remainder having betaken of themselves ' home to dinner. It may perhaps be pointed out likewise that the practice of vetting the selected animals in public is scarcely one that is likely to commend itself to exhibitors, but that is a detail b the arrangements which can be settled between them and the management. Premier honours in the made class were awarded to Dr. F. P, Colgan's bay mare Duchess, a very showy little seven-year-old, which made many friends at the ring side, as she moves beauti- fully and is very handy, though possibly there were better players behind her in the class ; still, she was a popular winner. Next came Sir A. V. Foster's Trilbyi by Don Frere, dam by Will-of- the-Wisp, a mare of quality, with charming manners and a first-rate back and quarters; third falling to Mr. W. E. Grogan's Grouse, a seven-year-old gelding which is fast, powerful and clever, but a little high in action ; Colonel de Robeck securing the fourth prize with Folly IV., a six-year-old mare by Hambletonian, dam by Lord Jingle, a very bloodlike pony with an excellent back and quarters, and a fine player. Amongst other noticeable com- petitors in this class were Mr. T. L. Moore's Kickamaroo, by Peacemaker, a really nice pony all round, being full of quality and well vmder the size, but she seemed a trifle slower than the winners ; but her cleverness is un- deniable. Mr. W. E. Grogan also showed a wear-and-tear- looking, smart pony in the six- year-old Mermaid, by Xenophon ; whilst Mr. E. J. R. Peel's geWing Cry Help, though not the player that some in the class are, gets off 1899-1 "OUR VAN. «t 387 his hocks in a style that must commend him to many judges. In the unmade class Mr. T. J. Roach took first and fourth with the six-year-old Khedive by Egypt, and the brown mare Vixen by Pet Fox, the former being a very bloodlike chesnut with excellent action, but many considered him a trifle long in loin ; whilst Vixen possessed one of the sweetest foreheads in the class and went well, so that her position was de- served. Second was awarded to Mr. T. Anderson's Doreen, a very stylish, workmanlike mare which made many friends at the Ursodeoxycholic Tablets ring side, as not only are both her ends exceptionally good, but she strips well and is a born mover. Both the last-named qualifications belong to Mr. J. Carpenter's fourth prize chesnut mare Jinnet of the Falcon, by Hermit, dam by Rotherhill, and she is a business-like mare that can move, added to which her manners are excellent. A capital pony, too, is Mr. Roach's Wisdom, as is Mr. John Leonard's Night- mare by Pedestrian ; whilst Cap- tain Cecil Wilson's Flirt, has plenty of bone and substance, but might move more freely ; Mr. Rainey's Bobby being a real sort, with the best of joints and the loveliest of foreheads. In all respects it was a most successful venture. Chialehurst t. Stanated. — A match between the above teams -was played on the Stansted ground at Bishop's Stortford on Wednes- day, April 19th. An exciting game was expected, inasmuch as these two clubs were left in the final for last year's County Cup at Eden Park. But anticipations were hardly realised ; Chislehurst from the start assumed the com- mand, and playing throughout better together always appeared to hold their opponents, and eventually won by six goals to two — and if we are not mistaken, the winning team Buy Ursodeoxycholic will undoubtedly take a prominent position during the coming season.
