*'* Modern Polo,' written by E, D. Miller and edited by Capt, M. H. Hayes, will 

 assuredly become the authoiitative work concerning the game, which is rapidly growing in 

 favour in this country. It is clear and bright in style, and it is provided with numerous 

 illustrations from photogiaphs." — Black and PFhte. 



*' Mr. Miller's is by no means the only work upon the Game of Polo, but it is, at least, 

 the most complete and comprehensive work upon this subject that has yet been issued. It 

 has had the benefit, too, of the editorship of Capt. M. H» Hayes, one of the best 

 authorities of the day m regard to all matters connected with horsemanship. To Capt. 

 Hayes are also due the excellent photographs by which the book is illustrated, showing 

 almost every turn and stroke in a rather complicated game." — Graphic,
