The following appeared in a New Orleaos daily last week: Several members of the polo teaur returned**froro Camden vesterrHyv while others went East from Cam Jen, with the intention of visitiog Washington and .New York before returning. *? Philip -Werlein, who returned pesterday morning, aaid they had lad a delightful time during their r-.?' ' Camden, where , they had ?)cpn royally entertained by the Uamden players. They-were enter tained at luncheons, breakfast*, and linnere, and a smoker had tyen jiven in tbelr honor Saturday night. They were also entertained at a slay pigeon abooting match, and ifr. Cottam, of, the New Orleans )olo team had carried off the first iris*. Mr. Werlein and others of ibe New Orleans polo men were >ri r.9 winners. Regarding the result of the polo [>lay, the N.ew Orleans men were not at all discouraged. The con Utions under which they found thomselvea playing were entirely nVw to them as well as to their ponies. The soft, sandy field was whollv unlike the grass course at City Park, and demanded an en tirely different atroke. Then tho Camden ponies were faster and more powerful than tlioke belong* Ing to the New Orleans players, and &> make the difference still more marked the New Orleans ponies were badly done up by the long railway journey. They improved to some extent during their stay In Camden, nod the New Orleans playera made a better showing in the later games as a resuU of this improvement, though they were no able to win a game "The Camden polo playera are thorough gentlemen and sports men," Mr. Werlein said, In conclu sion "and ? it 'is a satisfaction* to meet tbem either on the field or socially. They entertained us royal ly from tb? moment we reached Camden, and I am sure none of oar party can look baok upoa oor visit to Camden wtih olber than tbe l>leasaoUat ri collcctioas. We ex* fwrttbaV they will play * return match with ua next year, but for the present we have no suitable stabling and appointment* to under take to receive and care lor them and their ponies as they ' took care of wnf learn.
