The average pony, as Mr. Kipling has
told, is intelligent and a rare asset
to the game.
Having mounted your pony and
taken up your position on the field
with the three other members of the
team, the referee will throw the ball
into play and one player from each
side will dash madly tor it. Each man
is armed with a long-handled mallet—
th:. mallet part being about six Inches
long and three inches in diameter. The
working part of the mallet is the long
side, not tho end. if your man is a
good ono he may be able, to slioot the
ball straight into the enemy's territory
at the first swat and bring down a
pony on the wing. The object of the
game is to drive the ball between the
g"al posts, which every one knows,
according to the rules of shinny,
means that play will be started over
again when one side accomplishes
this. The game is divided into eight
periods—four In each half. Between
the halves tea may be served, the
ladies flutter about the heroes, and
plans may be laid for Increasing the
casualties if they were light during
the first session. Polo ponies are un
canny in their love of the game de
spite the way they are sometimes
banged up. They follow the ball
closely, study carefully just when to
whirl, and pound after it, and as was
stated before, a timely kicker that
uses some judgment is the star mem
ber of the flock.
Any doubt of the chances a man
fakes when he hops aboard a likely
polo pony and enters a real live con
test will be dispelled at. a list of tlie
