Henderson, Who Died March 5, Might Have Occupied a Position Like That of von -The British Army," said The London Times on March 7. has suffered an almoat irreparable loss in the premature death of Lieut-Col. George Francis Robert Henderson, the gifted author of 'Stonewall Jackson. This estimate of Col Henderson's ablUty Is borne out by every other London paper, and it is declared that, had he lived, he would have occupied a position like that of Capt Mahao or even like that of von Moltke. It is declared that when Stonewall appeared it came' as a revelation for most ordinary readers, and.

Indeed. tor most military men. of the real "meaning of strategy. Cot Henderson contemplated writing a life of Gen Lee, which was to be a companion volume and sequel to "Stonewall Jackson," but at the time of his death be was engaged on the official history of the South African War, which he had been Instructed to write. Col.

Henderson was forty-eight years old. He had been in bad health for some time, and at the end of last year he was obliged to leave England and go to Assuan, Egypt. The change at first appeared to do him Iffood. but last month his condition became suddenly worse, and he died on March 5. Perhaps the beat appreciation of the value of CoL Hendet son's work that has appeared is contained In a letter from CoL Lonsdale Hale of the British Army, who was a close personal friend of the author of "Stonewall Jackson." Almost from the time." writes Col.

Hale, "when he. as an anonymous writer, surprised and delighted us lth that brilliant little monograph, the Campaign of Fredericksburg, up to his departure for Egypt only a- few weeks ago. we had resided In close proximity to each other; our occupations and our ldeaa on military matters were similar; our Interests in sound and practical military education and training equally keen, so it was the privilege of the elder man. (CoL Hale.) the military instructor of longer experience, to listen innumerable times ln his own study, under the guise of conversation, to the younger man, the compart Ively Junior teacher, and to profit by that inexhaustible knowledge of the military history of the past, that keen inoight Into the educational requirements of the present, and that clear forecast of the needs of the future, which were the mental characteristics of his great brain." In the course of his letter CoL Hale says; Henderson read widely and extensively, hU marvelous memory retained and assimilated what he read; wnathe read furnished him food for deep thought. But the outcome of that thinking was not the mere building up of theories; it was application of the result of the reading to practical military life and to war, and this given to the profession, to which he was proud to belong, either ln speech or in writing.

In language that charmed and held captive the attention of those who listened or who read. His quickness and accuracy of observation, the rsrndity with which he could put his results of that observation into well-chosen words, and the way In which he could master, some military subject quite new to him were all alike remarkable. Stonewall Jackson, that wonderful three! fold combination, as Sir Henry Bracken-bury called it, of a biography, a military history, and an essay on the art of war. Is of course the literary triumph with which his name wilt always be associated, but he was equally powerful with his pen and produced equally admlrab'e work, whether writing at the end of a telegraph wire a five-column account of a volunteer field day; a series of letters on foreign manoeuvres, or for a high-class review an article on be fortification of the past, preaent, and future. Only one Incident in his too short brilliant literary career did I regret, and that was hi being selected for the post of official historian of the South African war.

In assigning to him this task the authorities were doubtless wise ln their feneration, but in so doing they cribbed, cabined, and confined the keenest and aouqMest critic, 4n or out of the army, and one which, if untrammeled by the restraints inseparable from that position, might hereafter have given for our profit the best and truest strategical and tactical lessons of the war that are ever likely to be Mad Sura.

Mr. Gould inten Is to devote fully as much time to the sp rt this season as formerly, and his Lak -wood team wUl be entered in most of the i arly events. The Squadron A polo memb rs are anxious to get out on the field, and several members of the committee tve been to Van Cortlardt Park to look ove the ground where the polo fields are.

A -rangements are being made for an early i petting, and the long-continued mild weath has given hopes that one or the three fl Ids may be ready tor use before April 0, the date ret by the committee as tt latest at which practice might start. The stables will be enlarged so as to commodate more ponies, and the first atch games will probably be fixed for the second week in May. immediately after ti Lakewood The squadron players are eager to get a few. days' prac Ice, because it Is the Intention to enter a i earn for the Herbert trophies in the' Itkei ood and they want a char. to up a bit before beginning the Ties of competitions.

It Is expected that several new player among the younger lembera will appear on the field this year, or no cessation of Interest Is apparent. The formation of polo clubs in and Frinceton, with a prospect of additions ln the near future, marks a dlst net advance in American polo. The fact oves unmistakably that -more young pi; yers are in the game, and that the difficulties In obtaining polo facilities are rot so great as was the case a few years ag o. The game is and always must be an exc i-nslve sport, hut the worn-out phrase of millionaires1 game can hardly be applied to polo to-' uay. Squadron A and two oi three other clubs are showing how the problem of expense n.ay be solved, so as to bring active participation in the spc rt within the reach of young men who iy never attain the millionaire standard while some other clubst notably Lakewoo I.

practically offer polo to players of at llty without any greater expense than wha is necessary in Joining the club. Aa the gti me grows Its old exclusiveness Is weaken d. and individual expense is materially lessened. To be sure, the great expense of polo lies In the number ot ponies that i man wishes to keep, but nevertheless he vho can only possess on or two ponies 11 find clubs and games in which be may ireely enter. Another expense in the torn ation of new club ia occasioned by the curing of a proper field.

Here, again, the financial outlay varies, according to the condition of the land itself and the amoi nt of money available to be expended ut the field. George Gould spent several i housand dollars perfecting his three f. 'Ids at Lake-wood, and with the exception of the big field at Meadow Brook, give i by William C. Whitney, they are the fln at polo fields in the country, true and leve as a billiard table, the most scientific exa nples of polo fields in America.

The Influence of army polj in India is felt In every English club. Most of the active and tired officers have had years of practice India, while many learned it there.
