POLO.
The first polo match of the season will take place to-day on the Hokowhitu grounds of the Manawatu Club, between a team representing Hasvko's Bay and a lecal team. The Messrs H. A. BusseiJ, J. I). Ormond, O. Nelson, and "W. McKenzia constitute the visiting team, and Messrs Strang Brothers (3), and It. P. Abraham will play for Falmeraton. PJay will Btart at 2 p.m. It will be remembered that one of the most keeoly-ccntested games at the New Zealand Championship Tournament, which took place last year at Palmerston, was that between these teams. The scoring was practically even,- when an unfortunate accident placed McKenzie, of the Hawke's Bay team, bora de combat, and the game was consequently forfeited to Manawatu. The personnel of the Hawke's Bay team remains the same, but that of the local team is altered, J. and W. Btrang replacing O. Robinson and H. Abraham, The two new men have just returned to the colony from the Old Country, and their ponies are therefore not in very good form. A keen game, bowevei, may be anticipated.
