GENERAL REMARKS ON POLO. 



In writing this chapter on Polo ponies, criticism 

 of the game — either favourable or adverse — has been 

 studiously avoided. The chapter has been entirely

 whose duty it may be to purchase and train them, 

 and if the directions which are given are faithfully 

 followed there will be very little difficulty experienced 

 in training them to discharge satisfactorily the various 

 and intricate duties of Polo.
