POLO TOURNAMENT.
{By Telegraph—Press Association},
Wellington, Last Night,
At the polo grounds, to-day, two games for the Handicap Cup were played. The weather was very unpleasant, a hard northerly wind blowing all the day. In the first match, Wellington A team (10) had the best of the handicap against Christchurch (7), and won by fourteen goals to nine. Rhodes was the scorer of both Christchurch goals. The-next game, between Manawatu B (8) and Hawke's Bay A (1), was very exciting. Hawke's Bay gradually made up their handicap, and up to the final spell looked like pulling oil the game ; but Manawatu resisted long enough to prevent the required score being made, and on the handicap won by one goal.
