BICYCLE POLO.

" The Game of Bicycle Polo," by B J Mecredy, of the "Irish Cyclist," Dublin, comes to us from   the Dunlop Pneumatic Tire Company, Limited The rules are the result of eight years' experience, and the chief difference from polo proper is in the definition of "off-side ". In fact, the greater part   of the rules is taken up in defining and illustrating this point. Generally, it may be stated that a player is "on-side" when, if riding towards the     opponents' goal, he has himself and the whole of his bicycle on the left-hand side of an imaginary line   through the ball parallel to the sides of the ground, the object being that the opposing players should always approach the ball on opposite sides and in       parallel lines. This principle is worked out so as to provide for the various contingencies of the game. The ball and the clubs are similar to those used in   pony polo, and the rules are the same modified to suit the difference of the conditions under which the game is played.
