been purchased by the Tedesco club from Mrs. Annie 
Brown. The estate comprises 198,500 square feet and 
was formerly the site of a poultry farm. It adjoins the 
Porter property purchased early last fall by the club. 
Both of the new pieces of property purchased by the club 
lie across the road from the club. Improvements will be 
made upon the new property this spring, but it has not 
been decided upon what use will be made of it until after 
the next meeting of the club on April 19. The clubhouse 
will open for the season on April 15, but the formal open- 
ing will be deferred until the following Wednesday, 
April 19, when a luncheon will be served to 300.

was hit over the right eye and seriously hurt at Aiken, South 
Carolina, Monday afternoon, in the semi-finals of the an- 
nual March tournament of the Aiken Polo Club for the 
“Aiken Cup.” Mr. Prince was playing No. 3 on the 
Aiken team and in the second period seemed to faint as 
he fell off his horse as all the players were fumbling with 
the ball. He soon regained consciousness, and it was dis- 
covered that a polo mallet wielded by one of the players 
had made a deep cut four inches long over his right eye. 
Mr. Prince was lifted into a motor car and carried to his 
home.
