situation, and the enterprise with
which they have taken advantage
of it, give them. It is the pecuHar
credit of the club that ahhough
the list has long since been so full
as to make the attraction of new
members no important considera-
tion, yet they have never ceased
to endeavour to meet the wants of
those who belong to the club.
The addition of a practice ground,
so much needed and desired by
all London polo players, is a great
boon, and will be of permanent
benefit to the game as well as to
the club. It is not possible to
play polo really well without much
and constant practice. The im-
provement to the second ground
has been very great, part of the
turf having been Generic Diovan 320 taken up, and
clay laid down instead of gravel.
If we turn to the present state
of the game itself we shall see
that some changes are still needed
in the rules. Mr. Drybrough,
in his careful analysis of the laws
of polo, has incidentally shown
what a considerable divergence of
practice there is from one another
among Diovan Generic Equivalent the leading players, when
acting as umpires, in the matter
of " offside." It seems to us that
all doubt should be removed, and
a distinct direction given to
umpires as to the position which
lays a player open to the penalties
of offside. So important a matter
should not be Diovan Valsartan 160 Mg left open to doubt.
On thinking the matter over care-
fully it seems impossible to doubt
that Messrs. Buckmaster and
Miller's view is the right one, and
if, e.g.. No. I A's pony's nose Diovan For Sale is in
front of No. 4 B's pony, so 160 Mg Diovan that
the umpire can see that it is so,
then it follows that No. i is
between Diovan Generic Alternative No. 4 and the goal to all
intents and purposes, and if no
other player of No, 4's side Co Diovan Novartis be
between him and the goal he is
offside, whether his knee be in
front or behind that of No. 4.
Two other rules demand careful
consideration. In the matter of
" standing over the ball," should
not the umpire be given some
discretion to check this practice,
even if it be not thought desir-
able, under certain circumstances
which will occur to every polo
player, to forbid standing over the
ball altogether? Probably it would
be better to give some instruction
in the bye-laws to the umpire
rather than to lay down a hard
and fast rule. One more point
seems to us to require notice.
Should not the rule about crooking
the stick be altered so as to forbid
hitting the adversary's stick, or
crooking a stick simply in order
to hinder his progress, and when
the adversary has no reasonable
chance of hitting the ball ? These
points all seem of some importance,
and worthy of the consideration of
those who are entrusted with the
task of guiding the fortunes of the
game. Turning from the game
itself to those who play it, we
have to regret the absence of some
well-known players from their
regimental or club teams. Colonel
Le Gallais and Major Perrse,
whose new rank was won in
Egypt, \vill both be away. The
Queen's Bays have lost Major
Whitla, who has Diovan 325 Mg been promoted
into the 3rd Hussars, a regiment
which, with Captain Goring and
Major Oswald in its team, should
do well in Indian polo. A glance
at the Ranelagh fixtures will show-
that the loth Hussars, the Royal
Horse Guards, the Inniskillings, Diovan Cough
and the 12th Lancers are going to
put in some strong work in the
way of practice matches there.
The Royal Horse Guards have
lost Mr. Rose for the time being,
as he has gone to Africa, and Mr.
Neil Haig is in Australia, though
that may not prevent him from
playing for his regiment. Mr.
Haig's keenness rises superior to

the terrors of a sea voyage.
Among existing players of the
first class there will be few
changes, and the consideration of
the rising generation Diovan 12.5 MgDiovan 25 Mg of young
players belongs rather to the
retrospect of the autumn. Mr. P.
Nickalls, the young back player

How far this will interfere with

We shall look forward anxiously
to the County Cup contest this
year, Diovan Savings Card and hope that the Associa-
tion will not fail to make the
meeting as great a success as the
£den Park gathering of last year.
It is satisfactory to hear that
Wellington have a team Diovan Discount Card in pre-
paration, and we can depend upon
Stansted, whose No. i, Mr. Guy
Gilbey, however, has not suffici-
ently recovered from his accident,
to take his usual place. This
accident should make players
think twice before buying these
long - bodied, rather Diovan Generics unwieldy
ponies. A polo pony, to turn
readily and safely, should not be
of the long " yawing " sort. If a
pony or a horse has the appear-
ance of great length it is more
often than not a sign of ill-placed
shoulders. The slope of the
shoulder may look all right as we
stand by the pony's side, but if
the wither is not placed well back
the bones of the shoulder cannot
really be at a proper angle. A
shortish pony, even if a bit ** on
the leg," is a better and safer and
faster mount than the long-looking
animals Diovan Copay Card which are attractive Diovan 80mg Tablets on
account of their breeding, and a
sort of look of speed which is
often deceptive. But all ponies
want much more schooling than
they usually have long after they
have acquitted themselves fairly
well in a game. Diovan 360 Mg
With good weather we may
