¶A vast crowd assembled one fine day at Meadow Brook to witness the much-heralded polo match. Several times that crowd was seen to rise hesitatingly as a succession of young men wearing clothes a la Renfrew arrived.

Cheers and handclaps were absent, but most of the spectators strained their necks. All present were impressed with the Baron's good sportsmanship. He smiled throughout the game, despite the fact that the British were losing. ¶Next day, lunch with Harrison Williams, a motorboat ride, dinner with Julius Fleischmann, yeast man.
