Q.M. Forsythept . 2 t . 27 Sept.89 hon.captSept.79 CHOKC R.M. Nicholson , E. Hioh 87 4May79 Adjt . Jenner , Wapt.30Julyo , The succeeding match of two quarters , between the 9th Lancers and a Hurlingham , was a capital one , and played at a great pace . These were the teams : 9TH LANCERS . 1. Captain Jenner 2. Captain the Hon . C. Wil loughby 3. Captain Colvin Captain Lamont ( back ) . HURLINGHAM . 1. Mr. Rawlinson ( 17th Lan cers ) 2. Mr. F. B. Mildmay , M. P. 3. Mr. A. E. Peat Earl of Harrington ( back ) . After a little scuffle on the ball being thrown in , Mr. A. E. Peat was the first to get away with a lead , but it soon fell into the hands of Captain Jenner , who , taking it on well , enabled Captain Lamont to slip in and score with a very fine angle shot . Quick work this , and a goal scored in about a minute augured well for the soldiers . Up and down the ball then travelled , now being taken round in masterly manner by Mr. Mildmay , now being hit a smart backhander by Captain Lamont , or being rushed down by either Captain Jenner or Mr. Rawlinson , who vied with each other in energy . At length Hurlingham had their turn , and , with Mr. Rawlinson riding off Cap tain Lamont literally vi et armis , Lord Harrington scored at the Stables end on Ali Baba . On ends being changed Mr. Rawlinson and Mr. Mildmay made such a determined attack that they got the ball behind . A rattling hit out of Captain Lamont's , which took the ball right up to the Pavilion , was returned with a hard back - hander of Lord Harrington's , which put it out of play . Then , on play re - commencing , the 9th rushed the ball up in the most determined manner , and there was a rare hustling bout between Lord Harrington and Captain Lamont , with such good effect that the former rode the latter off , and Mr. A. E. Peat got the ball down once more . Then till the bell rang the game became very fast , hard hitting and many deeds of prowess being performed on both sides without any material result . Score , one goal all . Mr. Rawlinson , who is riding Mr. Grogan's black pony , inaugurates the final phase of the game by as pretty a run as you would wish to see . The black can gallop - aye , and pull a bit , too - and the ground makes the ball hop ; but none of these two adverse elements seem to make much difference to the gallant Lancer . On he goes best pace , with Captains Lamont and Colvin hard in pursuit , and hitting splendidly , even when the ball is on the hop , so he carries it right down the ground till , missing his last shot , Mr. A. E. P. , who is close behind , comes up and scores . It was a right gallant performance , and deserved the success it met with . We have lately heard a good deal of a certain individual asking a brother officer why he " was so acharné " against him ? A similar question might have been put to Mr. A. E. Peat and Captain Lamont , for soon after the game began again , and Hurlingham were bearing up , Mr. Peat tackled the Lancer " back , " and a hustling bout ensued . So oblivious were the two antagonists of anything beyond the fact that one wanted to ride off the other , and the other would not submit to being ridden off , that they went on galloping and hustling till they were both miles out of the fray . Then they became aware of their error , and returned to their proper sphere of action - but in the meantime Mr. A. E. Peat's services had been lost to his side , and the 9th got the ball down and hit behind . Once more Hurlingham gained a temporary advantage by doing the same , but the soldiers ' " dander was riz , ' and , delivering attack after attack , Captain Willoughby finally scored at the Stables , and this ended a rare merry game with the score of two goals all . " " The 9th played as they always do , right well , and kept their places admirably , but though they had a strong team to meet , their adversaries laboured under certain disadvantages , for Mr. Rawlinson was riding strange ponies all the time , and so was Mr. A. E. Peat , which brought the two teams on more level terms . Still , it was a good performance , and one that gives us a line as to the chances of the 9th for the Military Cup . 9th . Q. R. bancers .
