Chloe Polo Preston Season 1924
An Early Start to the Polo Season - A Humorous Interlude in the Final of the Veterans Cup at Hurlingham, 1924
EDITORS COMMENTS
The sun had barely risen over the lush, green expanse of Hurlingham Park as the final of the Veterans Cup polo match was set to begin. The anticipation was palpable in the crisp morning air, as players and spectators alike prepared for a day filled with thrilling competition and horsepower. Among the onlookers, two bored spectators, Chloe and Preston, couldn't help but find amusement in the pre-match jitters. As the teams took their positions, Chloe and Preston, ever the mischief-makers, hatched a plan. With a wink and a grin, they bet on which player's horse would be the first to take a nap during the match. The horses, sensing the excitement in the air, seemed to share in the spectators' anticipation, their ears pricked and eyes bright with curiosity. But just as the referee's whistle was about to signal the start of the game, Chloe and Preston's plan took an unexpected turn. As the players charged towards each other, their horses thundering hooves echoing through the park, Chloe and Preston's cart pulled by a mischievous donkey, darted out in front of the charging horses, causing chaos and laughter among the players and spectators alike. The incident brought a momentary halt to the proceedings, but the spirit of the game remained undeterred. The players, with good humor, regained their composure and the match resumed, much to the delight of Chloe and Preston, who had managed to add a touch of whimsy to the early start of the polo season at Hurlingham in 1924. This charming cartoon, a snapshot of a bygone era, captures the essence of the polo season's early beginnings, filled with excitement, laughter, and the unpredictability of the sport. A delightful reminder of the lighter side of the game, it is a must-have for any polo enthusiast or history buff's collection.
