The
Westchester Polo Club celebrated its 125th Anniversary as the oldest
and founding polo club in America at the Astor's Beechwood Mansion,
Newport, RI. The Astors mansion was chosen as John Jacob Astor was
one of the early members of the Westchester Club. The Polo Museum
and Hall of Fame were kind enough to travel all the way from Florida
to mount a display of historical material and to display the actual
Westchester Cup first offered by the Westchester Club for International
competiton between the US and England. The finals of the weeklong
125th anniversary tournament are to be held Sat 30th June and the
grounds of the Newport Polo Club.
