POLO CLUB—-THE BRILLIANT PLAY OP MR. YAIRMAN ROGERS. The Westchester Polo Club openca the season ses- terday afternoon with a rather interesting gume, four on aside, which resulted in «draw after about an hour's play. Thore was note large attendance of iudies and geutiemen at the game, as it was rather an impromptu | affur and having been hurriedly arranged was not gen- eraily advertised, They players were rather late 1p arriving, as they did not put im appearance until after five P, M., Whou they came out on Mr, Bronson’s drag. The grounds were in perfect order, having been well rolled, and the ponies jooked aa if they were thriving under Mr. Blussoo/s care, The club house was, \f anything, more inviting and picturesque than ever and during the afternoon was transierred to can- vas by the brush of Mr, Frankenstein, who took bis view from a position on the reservoir embankinont. Mr. Bispbam, another well known artist, was also on the ground, making sketches of the ponies und club house for @ polo picture that be ts now painting. The game yesterday afternoon was not as interest- ing to the spectator ag those of lust season, as many of the players have a good deal to learn before they can bo called polo experts, Yesterday sume of these gen- tlemen appeared to be under the impression that the main science of polo playing consisted to riding reck- lessly after the ball, swinging their mallets in every direction, and without reaily accomplishing anything except runuing u tolerably good chance of cue ting somebody's head open, If they could onl: understand how much preiuer tue guime would loo! when played in a ecientiic manner and according to the prescribed rules, they would probably act in a more rational mauuer and keep their malicts under control, Mr. Fairman Rogers, of Philadelphia, played & vory pretty game, and although be did not swing bis mallet round his head ke wo Indian club in the tunds of a young brave on the warpath, he uccom- ished w great deal, und proved an able aasistuut to ir, Hermann Oelrichs, on whose side he played. Tuo latter gentieman has improved wonder- fully im bis game and is now one of the best players in the club, bundling bis well brokev pony with skill, and aithougn occastonully a little wild with bis mallet, does not in- variably carry it uplifted nike alinncer, Mr, Howland Rovvings was in very good form yesterday, making several bandsome breaks during the inatch, but was also a little addteted to club swinging. Messrs. Bron. son, 8. 8. Howland, Scott, Brice, Harry Oelrichs and Moissnor at different stagcs of the game showed to ad- vantage, ard will play considerably better when they Jeurn to keep their mallets below their ponica’ quarter. Shortly aftor tive P.

Kobbins mude a cleau bit, woich be followed up with two others, bringiog the ball in front oi the blues’ gonl, and there Mr. Bronson gave tbe coup de grace, scoring the first game for the reds, Mr. Harry Oelrichs new retired trom the gamo, as the pony be was riding was quite useless, and in urder to muke the inatch even Mr. 3. 5.

The blues, however, flushed with success, were pot Lo be stopped, and quickly scored a goal, muking the gatnes two tor the biues and one tor the reds.
