Polo's Big Moment comes once every three years, when a squat silver mug with little horses and men springing out of its base stands gleaming on a table in front of the bright blue West Stand at Meadow Brook, gleaming as the emblem of victory for the International teams galloping up and down the broad stretch of turf, and as the central sparkle in one of the country's finest sporting panoramas. Custom dictates that the cup shall be at the field after one team has won one game. The score of the first game...
...warm roadside sand. Others have suggested that they find food thrown out by motorists. Best explanation may be that they, like many other animals, are attracted by the lights of passing cars.

Wild Pitt plunges and passes...
...world growing yearly more democratic, on the threshold of a great naval disarmament conference, new editions of the intransigeant annuals of blue bloods and battleships came last week from their respective publishers: the squat red Almanach de Gotha and long blue Jane's Fighting Ships. In recent years, editing the 167-year-old Almanach de Gotha, "genealogical, diplomatic and statistical annual," has been no mean task. Bound by tradition to list only the members of regal, princely and ducal families, the genteel editors have been obliged by a shortage of European aristocracy to fill their sedate pages with such...
