of the air in the afternoon forecasted
a heavy storm nnd dense dark blue
clouds off to the northwest indicated

NDIANS AND COWBOYS PLEASE
NORFOLK PEOPLE.
WILL MAKE TOUR OF THE EAST
inroute to Eastern States , the Band
of Rosebud Sioux Indians and West
ern Cowboys Stop In Norfolk Play
at 6:30 : Again Tonight.
Norfolk was Introduced to polo yes-
onlay afternoon nnd was quite
harmed with Its now acquaintance.
And It chanced that the gnmo which
iaH been the special acquisition of the
ast was brought to Norfolk fresh Jrom
be Rosebud agency In the great north-
vent. Three Indians nnd three cow-
oys made up the rival teams that
untested yesterday afternoon nt the
riving park grounds nnd when the
> lny wnB over it was announced that
ho white men wore the victors by the
core of eight to seven.
The dash of ponies , the wide swing
f the polo sticks , the merry chase of
ho little wooden ball hither nnd thlth-
r across the field , the wild riding , the
wlft turns of the western ponies , these
vero elements of the fascinating game
.hat pleased Norfolk people yesterday.
Vhllo there were those In the crowd
vho had seen the game In England
ml In the cast , to most of the spec-
ators who yesterday watched the tide
all and rise in favor of the cowboys
ho game was a now sport.
Will Tour the East.
These polo players of the northwest
voro collected by J. H. Ludwlck of
Sprlngvlow , who alms nt a tour of the
nst whore the western cowboys nnd
ho swnrthy Sioux are calculated to
nako a big hit. After leaving Norfolk
nrouto east the polo teams will stop
at Wlsner for Saturday and at Fro-
nont for the first of the week.
During the summer in the Rosebud
ountry the "rough riding polo play
ers" have been making themselves pro-
Iclont in the reckless game of the
> ast. Yesterday the sport "took" with
ho crowd but the game was played
inder severe handicaps which will not
exist when Norfolk's second polo game
s called this evening at 0:30 : o'clock.
Mio field was In poor condition yes-
onlay for the exhibition and even to
ilnco it in condition that permitted n
contest occasioned a delay for which
Manager Ludwlck was in no way re-
ponslblo.
Pnlo is entirely n game of horse-
mck , the rival teams with their long
> ole sticks etrlvlng to drlvo the little
voodcn ball across the field between
ho opposite goal posts. The game is
> layed in four quarters of ten minutes
each , n change of ponies taking place
iftcr each quarter to save the ponies.
All scoring Is on goals won. With
langer over present , with the rush of
ho ponies across the field and the con
stant demand for skill and agility , the
game of polo has strong elements that
nako for popularity. The Sioux and
he cowboys are naturally skillful rid
ers and are throwing themselves into
ho new game with energy.
Ancient Origin of Polo.
Polo is supposed to be of Persian
irlgln , as it has been established that
they played the game in a primitive
vny , of course 2,500 years ago. Some
years ago an old painting of Persians
ilnylng polo wns discovered In the
mlaco of the kings of Oudh , India.
A queer looking lot they are , most of
bom mounted on piebald stallions.
The players present a curious appear
ance , the painter of those early times
leplctlng them in "stained glass" at-
Itudes and flattened out as if merely
stuck on to the background. They are
) laylng with long sticks crooked at
ho end like a hockey stick and with
a largo ball. In lieu of modern boots
and trousers they are arrayed in cu
rious plaited skirts.
There is no telling how far back
polo's origin dates. It is easy to Im
agine that when primeval man first
caught , tamed and rode the wild horse
ho found some amusement in pursuing
on its back a round stone or rude
wooden ball , which be smote with a
stick.
stick.When
When one comes to think of it it is
surprising that such a strenuous pas
time should have been born In the far
east , so famed for its enervating heat ,
languorous life , and harems filled with
oriental beauties. But the ancient Per
sians are known to have been'a people
of athletic tastes and line horseman
ship.
Sport Carried to England.
From the Persians the game found
Us way to India , whence It was car
ried to the British isles by returning
cavalry officers. The first real polo
match in England was played in 18C9
at Hourslow between officers of the
British army's Ninth Lancers and
Tenth Hussars , there being eight play
ers on each team , four of them being
goalkeepers. The other players had
no particular places , but rushed about
the field in n mob. Ponies were small ,
there was no pace , and every ono got
in the other's way frightfully.
When the backhand stroke came
Into vogue the game wns quickened
appreciably , because the quick return
caused the tide of play to sweep \to
and fro with n rapidity that put much
life into the game , nnd speed nnd
handlness in ponies became indispen
sable. Also many more mounts be
came requisite and the expense ol
playing increased greatly. The num
ber of players was cut down nnd the
goalkeepers were reduced to ono on
each .side. Later ho wns called Into
the game and played as a back , anil
then four men became the regulation
team , which stilt prevails.
First International Match.
The first International polo match
wns played U Dieppe , France , early
In the ' 80s between nn English and a
French team , although the latter in
cluded two Americans , Messrs. Storer
and Rldgoway. An enormous crowd
was present , and the ground bad to bo
kept clear by n regiment of infantry.
It la recorded patriotism and enthusi-
arm ran BO high that when the mimic
cavalry battle was going against the
French some excitable Gauls would
rush on to the field , pick up the ball ,
and hurl It towards the English goal ,
while "socros , " "parbleus , " and "til-
ablcs" flow about thickly , accompanied
by much shouting and gesticulation.
Brought to America In 1883.
Polo found its way to Mils continent
In 1883. In the east it quickly found
favor with the smart set , and as early
as 1880 a Ilurllnglmm team was invit
ed to come over and play n series of
matches for a challenge cup. Foxhnll
Keene , who Is expected to play on the
Rocknwny tcnm ngnlnst Buffnlo nt On-
wentsia next Thursday , wns n member
of that Hrst American team , of which
Thomas Hitchcock was captain and
W. K. Thorn nnd R. Bclmont the oth
er members.
After the visitors had won two
games the series of matches fell
through. The excellent team piny of
the English nnd the superiority of
their ponies enabled them to win too
easily for the games to bo Interesting.
But it was not long before Mr. Keene
developed Into n first class player , and
the United States has boasted others
equnlly good in Mr. Cowdln , the two
Wnterburys , Mr. Agasslz , "Bobby"
Shaw , D. La Montague , and a few more
of like cnllber.

No More Sore Necks

THE HUMANE HORSE COLLAR
Sea Them in Norfolk
August 3 , ' 7 ,
I
The HUMANE HORSE COLLAR , which by the wny hns no resemblance -
semblance to the ordinary collar , Is a now device brought out by the
HUMANE HORSE COLLAR COMPANY of OMAHA , NEB. , nnd is
meeting with extraordinary success. As shown in the cut , It has no
stulllng of any kind , but is so constructed as to apply the breast collar I
principle to the shoulder of the horse. All the draft is carried by the
wide , strong leather that makes a perfectly pliable surface In contact
with the shoulder. It Is claimed for this collar , and the manufacturers
are willing to prove , that it will CURE ANY CASE OF SORE NECK I
OR SHOULDERS on horses and mules and will make the cure while
the animal works. It being adjustable in size ono collar fits all tbo
horses on the farm. Farmers who are using this collar are making the
prediction freely that It will soon take the place of the old collar for II
all farm and heavy draft work. In fact hundreds of farmers are laying
aside good collars and using the HUMANE COLLAR. An Interesting I
experiment is made witli this collar by placing the hand under any
part of It while the team is drawing a heavy load. This is done without -
out hurting the hand in the least and Illustrates why it cures up the
bruises nnd keeps the well horses sound. If this experiment were tried H
with the ordinary collar the hand would be crushed. The world hns
made rapid strides In most every line in recent years. Why can we not
advance In the field of horse collars ? The HUMANE COLLARS are
sold subject to a thorough trial on horses with sore necks or shoulders.
J. D. ABRAMS , REPRESENTING THE HUMANE HORSE COI
LAR CO. , WILL BE IN NORFOLK SATURDAY , AUGUST 3rd , AND
ESPECIALLY DESIRES TO SHOW THIS COLLAR TO EVERYONE
WHO'USES HORSE COLLARS. FARMERS PARTICULARLY ARE
INVITED TO EXAMINE THIS COLLAR AND SEE ITS MERITS DEM-
ONSTRATED. 3,500 HORSES CURED WITH THIS COLLAR IN THE
LAST 90 DAYS.
