TUARAN:
Our games of polo continue uninterrupted but the standard of play does not seem to have advanced at all. The task of filling the buffalo wallows in the field has proved a very lengthy one.
The players still have to dodge holes and flags and play is stopped many times while some independent spectator dashes onto the field and retrieves the ball from a muddy hollow. Enthusiasm, however, has not diminished, so by slow stages we hope to attain something like efficiency.
