polo team, and are rapidly improving in their play. 

 Captains J. H. Lloyd, Sellar, Gaunt and Mathew- 

 Lannowe are all good players. Lloyd is a particularly 

 brilliant player. 



The 5th Dragoon Guards, like the 4th, has only 

 lately been much heard of in the polo world, probably 

 because neither of these regiments were formerly on 

 the foreign roster, and consequently they did not get 

 the advantage of playing in India. Their Adjutant, 

 Captain Win wood, D.S.O., Captain Darbyshire and 

 Major Eustace are some of their best players. 



Since the Carabiniers were in India in 1887, they 

 have also not been known as a polo playing regi- 

 ment till lately ; but they have a good prospect 

 before them, with Major Leader, Captain Collis, 

 D.S.O., W. E. Watson, D.S.O., and other good 

 players. Mr. Godfrey Heseltine, who is a brilliant 

 player, has been given a Captain's commission in 

 the regiment in recognition of his services with the 

 Yeomanry in South Africa. 



Captain Makins, of the Royals and Captain Lafone 

 of the 4th Hussars, were known as good polo players 

 when their respective regiments were quartered at 

 Hounslow. Major Hoare, Captain Barnes, Mr. Win- 

 ston Churchill, and poor Savory, who was killed in 

 Natal, were the members of the 4th Hussars team 

 which won the Inter- Regimental Tournament in 

 India in 1899. Captain Barnes earned the D.S.O. 

 in South Africa, and obtained command of a Yeomanry 

 regiment.
