N.Z. POLO PONIES AT SALE
PRICES FAIL TO COME UP TO EXPECTATIONS
(Received April 30, 12.5 a.m.)
SYDNEY, April 29,
The New Zealand polo representatives did not obtain the prices that they anticipated at the sale of polo ponies in Sydney to-day, possibly because out of the eight submitted two were lame and two had severe colds.
There was also an impression that although speedy enough, the ponies would not stand up to a severe tournament.
Mackenzie received 120 guineas for Patience and 100 guineas for Kino, and B. O'Grady got 130 guineas for Storey. On the other hand, the Queensland ponies were in demand, one bringing 220 guineas and another 200 guineas.
