The Light Commissioner had a very interesting conversation with  Captain Egremont E. Shearburn (Ninth Lancers) of the Texas Polo Club, during which that gentleman said  "I hardly know what I can tell you of polo that has not been well said already. I have played the game in many different ways and in several countries. The game was introduced into England from India, and became very popular immediately, almost as popular as it is here. The First Match was Played between the Lancers and Life Guards onWoolwich Common, near London, in July, 1872, and is now very popular all over the world. I have played the game in many different ways and in several countries. I have played where, the polo ground is down the principal street, and there we played 60 on a side. I have played in Astor and with the Munipoorics, who are the finest polo players in the world. They play in chain armor, and have never been beaten but once. See, these play the game in a slightly different way, 'but the rules that are now universally adopted are those of the English Hurlingham Polo Club, consisting of upwards of 2000 members.
