POLO IN THE ARMY. 291 



The 13th Hussars have always been there or 

 thereabouts in the final of the Tournament at Hur- 

 llngham during the last few years, and they secured 

 this coveted trophy in 1892, '94, and '95. Their most 

 celebrated team was composed of Captain Pedder, 

 J. F. Church, F. H. Wise, and Captain MacLaren. 

 J. T. Wigan, Captain Taylor, D.S.O., and A. Symons 

 are also well-known players. 



The 14th Hussars were very keen on polo when 

 they were in Ireland, and had Captains Murray, 

 Eley, Brooksbank, Tottenham, D.S.O., and Stephen, 

 besides other good players. 



The 15th Hussars are a very keen polo regiment 

 in India. Major de Crespigny and Captain Hambro 

 were their best known polo players in England. Lord 

 Kensington, who is a member of their present team, 

 earned the D.S.O. in this campaign. 



The 1 6th Lancers have been a polo regiment for the 

 last twenty-two years. Their team, which won the 

 Cup at Hurlingham in 1880, was composed of H. R. 

 L. Howard, J. M. Babington, F. G. Blair, J. G. A. 

 Baird and W. H. Wyndham Quin. Howard and 

 Blair earned the C.B. and Wyndham Quin obtained 

 the D.S.O. in this campaign with the Yeomanry. 

 Poor Orr-Ewing, who was killed at Kheiss, was an 

 old 16th Lancer man, who, though fond of polo, 

 was better known in the racing world. Major Gough 

 is a particularly good polo player. Lord Fincastle, 

 V.C., C. E. Harris, D.S.O., Captain Campbell and 

 Captain Tuson formed the i6th Lancer team in 1899. 



The 1 8th Hussars have several good polo players, 

 such as Captain Wood, D.S.O., Captain Burnett, 

 and A. C. McLachlan.
