Two other rules demand careful consideration. In the matter of " standing over the ball," should not the umpire be given some discretion to check this practice, even if it be not thought desir- able, under certain circumstances which will occur to every polo player, to forbid standing over the bal 1 altogether ? Probably it would be better to give some instruction in the bye-laws to the umpire rather than to lay down a hard and fast rule. One more point seems to us to require notice. Should not the rule about crooking the stick be altered so as to forbid hitting the adversary's stick, or crooking a stick simply in order to hinder his progress, and when the adversary has no reasonable chance of hitting the ball ? These points all seem of some importance, and worthy of the consideration of those who are entrusted with the task of guiding the fortunes of the game. Turning from the game itself to those who play it, we have to regret the absence of some well-known players from their regimental or club teams. Colonel Le Gallais and Major Perrse, whose new rank was won in Egypt, will both be away. The Queen's Bays have lost Major Whitla, who has been promoted into the 3rd Hussars, a regiment which, with Captain Goring and Major Oswald in its team, should do well in Indian polo. A glance at the Ranelagh fixtures will show that the 10th Hussars, the Royal Horse Guards, the Inniskillings, and the 12th Lancers are going to put in some strong work in the way of practice matches there. The Royal Horse Guards have lost Mr. Rose for the time being, as he has gone to Africa, and Mr. Neil Haig is in Australia, though that may not prevent him from playing for his regiment. Mr. Haig's keenness rises superior to 1899.] THE COMING POLO SEASON. 279 the terrors of a sea voyage. Among existing players of the first class there will be few changes, and the consideration of the rising generation of young players belongs rather Buy Coumadin Online to the retrospect of the autumn. Mr. P. Nickalls, the young back player who impressed so favourably all who saw him last year in the County Cup match at Eden Park, has gone into " The Service," and will be a useful addition to the polo strength of any regiment. How far this will interfere with the defence of the cup by the Chislehurst team we do not know. We shall look forward anxiously to the County Cup contest this year, and hope that the Associa- tion will Order Coumadin Online not fail to make the meeting as great a success as the Eden Park gathering of last year. It is satisfactory to hear that Wellington have a team in pre- paration, and we can depend upon Stansted, whose No. 1, Mr. Guy Gilbey, however, has not suffici- ently recovered from his accident, to take his usual place. This accident should make players think twice before buying these long Purchase Coumadin Online - bodied, rather unwieldy ponies. A polo pony, to turn readily and safely, should not be of the long " yawing Order Coumadin " sort. If a pony or Cheap Coumadin a horse has the appear- ance of great length it is more often than not a sign of ill-placed shoulders. Buy Cheap Coumadin The slope of the shoulder may look all right as we stand by the pony's side, but if the wither is not placed well back the bones of the shoulder cannot really be at a proper angle. A shortish pony, even if a bit " on the leg, 1 ' is a better and safer and faster mount than the long-looking animals which are attractive on account of their breeding, and a sort of look of speed which is often deceptive. But all ponies want much more schooling than they usually have long after they have acquitted themselves fairly well in a game. With good weather we may look forward to a pleasant season. There will be more grounds to play in, and these better kept than ever (by the way, common con- sent seems to have declared 300 yards by 170 yards as the best size for a boarded ground in this country), plenty of players, and all we wish for is a few more good ponies Coumadin Online to play on. Messrs. Miller do their best to supply this want by having a spring sale, and Major Rimington has arranged for an April show in Dublin. We should like also, for the benefit of the buyers and sellers of polo ponies, to see a show in London of polo ponies, if possible, at the same time as the Hunters' Im- provement Society's show. Ex- perience has taught us that no really satisfactory show of polo ponies can take place after the season has once begun. Every year we see the same ponies competing at Hurlingham or Ranelagh, but such shows, though useful and pleasant, do very little towards encouraging the breed Buy Coumadin of polo ponies. Will somebody give us a spring pony show, and an auction afterwards ? The auction- eers' list of sales is an excel- lent court of appeal from the decisions of the judges in the ring. T. F.
