With the Polo-season imminent we feel that we must not withhold from intending players the admirable and disinterested advice given in an Indian Trade circular:—
“The skill of a polo player lies in his well management of horse in the turmoil of Play. Ill-weighed Polo sticks make the situation worse if the horse is not so kept.
We try our best to construct Polo sticks in such a way as may help the player in the blur of game and put him in a more progressing mood.
Make a real pleasure of your game and not labour as other sticks than ours would tend to make it. A fond player would like to give anything for a good stick.”

I will arise and go now to Galway or Tralee
And burgle someone’s house there and plan a moonlight raid;
Ten live rounds will I have there to shoot at the R.I.C.
