The second match of the "Illue" and "Hed'
teams of the Texas I'olo club was played yes
terday at the San Petro springs and was
largely patronized by an interested crowd of
citizens. tro.
At 5:15 p m. Captain W. M. Glynn-Tur
quanri the umpire and Captain Shetboin
time keeper entered the field and the reds
find blues took the post in front of their res'
pective goals. The umpire then laid down
the ball in the centre of the field and dropped
his flag as a signal for the play to commence
With considerable spirit both sides galloped
to the ball eager to get the first stroke
he contest waged actively for about 13
minutes when the reds made a goal. Again
they martialed at the posts and again they
charged and in three minutes more the Reds
had scored a second goal thus amply reveng-
ing themselves of their defeat on Saturday.
Play still went on but time was called at 5:40.
At this time a smart shower of rain fell fright'
ening the ladies and making the ground very
slippery for the polo riders. At 6 o'clock the
second game commenced and two of Ihe
riders' horses were thrown owing to the dan
gerous state of the ground but they played
pluckily on. In four minutes the Blues'
had gained their first goal and a spirited con
test went on but when time was called at 6:20
p. in. no further advantage had been gained
by either side. The third and last game com
menccd at 6:30 and was well contested on
both sides until at 6:44 p. m. the Reds
owing to the fine play of Glazbrook made
another goal lloth sides exerted themselves
strenuously but all in vain and time was
called and the match concluded without
further goals being made upon either side
The official score is as follows :
Keds a o 1 3
nines o 1
Majority for Reds 2.
Doth sides played remarkably well and
were pretty evenly matched but the Reds were
apparently belter mounted and this was an
important advantage. The elegant and clever
riding of the players was the subject of much
praise.
The Texas Polo club will play another polo
match on Wednesday. In the meantime it is
stated two polo clubs are to be organized
here. The cavalrymen at the post propose
adopting the game which is one of the most
popular and most admired ever introduced
into the State.
Captain Turquand informed the LIGHT
commissioner that he and his friend think th
game peculiarly adapted for Texas and that
their exertions are mainly made to introduo
the game in the State. Both he and Captain
Slierborn will be pleased to give any informs
'ion or assistance to any gentleman who may
be organizing a polo club.

A certain auctioneer and jeweler are at war
The jeweler it is alleged said that all "auc
tioneers and pawnbrokers are a lot of rascals"
and the auctioneer wants to know if the
jeweler means to infer that he the said
auctioneer was included In that expression

fused a $25 advance on his purchase but the
horse appears to have fooled them all. He
laughs best who laughs last is' an old pro-
verb. The horse is now dead and while Mr.
Friedman is sorry to lose his horse he thinks
under the circumstances he has done well to
make the best of a bad bargain.

attempting to come ashore. This arrange-
ment will continue until the Salome leaves
which will probably occur in a day or two."
