298 POLO 



Polo Club were the victors. The 9th Lancers also won this 

 cup in 1885, and a tournament is held annually in March at 

 Nusseerabad in Rajpootana, and also at Allahabad, for a very 

 handsome challenge trophy given by Mr. C. J. Connell, of the 

 Civil Service, but complete records of winning teams connected 

 with the above have unfortunately not reached me at the time 

 these pages go to press, so I am obliged to omit them. 



An annual tournament is held at Mean Mir in the Punjab. 

 This, since its institution in 1886, has been won every year by the 

 1 2th Bengal Cavalry, who have successively beaten the Lahore 

 Polo Club, the 33rd Regiment, the i8th Bengal Lancers, and the 

 Queen's Bays (the latter twice). In 1890, when playing against 

 the last-named regiment, the i2th Bengal Cavalry won by 

 9 goals to love ; and it is somewhat remarkable that out of 

 their team which was composed of Mr. C. Gough, Ressaldar 

 Sarfaraz, Duffadar Heera Singh, and Sowar Futteh Khan the 

 three native members should have played every year for their 

 regiment in the winning team. 



The Mysore Tournament was inaugurated in 1890, when 

 the Maharajah gave a handsome cup to be competed for. This 

 was won by the 2ist Hussars.
