The winners had a distinct advan tage in their opportunities ror obtain ing fresh relays of horses. The game admits of a fresh relay for every pe riod, or four, altogether, for each play er, and if one side chooses to take advantage of the rules while the oth ers do not, why, that is tne misfor tune of the latter.

In arranging another match, it would perhaps be more sportsman like under the circumstances, for the home not to take any advantage in the number of fresh horses. The rapid de moralization of the Maui ponies in the last half of the game had much to do with their defeat, beyond a doubt. Not that Oahu boys did not play good polo; their work was brilliant, if at times erratic. Maui, under equal conditions should, however, make at all events a draw.
