There was no more constant attendant than Violet Oliver.

She understood the game and followed it with a nice appreciation of the player's skill.

The first round of the competition had been played off on the third day, but a native team organised by the ruler of a Mohammedan State in Central India had drawn a by and did not appear in the contest until the fourth day.

Mrs.Oliver took her seat in the front row of the stand, as the opposing teams cantered into the field upon their ponies.

A programme was handed to her, but she did not open it.
