CR0QUET AS A SCIENCE.
A GAME FOR EXPERTS AND NOT FOR
CHILDREN AND PARSONS ONLY.
The Modern CrOquet Ground Made of
Dirt Rolled Hard and LeveI-Hits Hard
to Make-Few Ladies Attempt scien-
tiflc Play.

Even rs set up on ordinary lawns, with
arches six inches wide, CTOquct is game
that requires an amount of headwOrk
fully as great as is needed to play I good
game of billiards. \ man who is Il very
ordinary shot can win from one who hits
with great accuracy if his headwork is de
cidedly superior. OF course, | am talking
now about the four ball game; the game
with one ball apiece is to the other what
euchre is to whist.
If these things are true of the game as
ordinarily laid out, they are multiplied in
force many times when the ground is n
perfectly level sanded dirt floor, when the
arches are only one-fourth of an inch
wider than the balls, and when both play
ers are skillful enough to hit an exposed
ball from end to end Of the ground and 10
hide their adverssry's ball behind Il
wicket with great accuracy.
The modern croquet ground is made Of
dirt rolled as hard rs need be and made us
level as billiard table. 1t is surrounded
by slightly raised border so that balls
do not go out of bounds. To prevent roll
ing the srface is sanded slightly. The
wickets are set firmly in block of wood
planted ten inches deep in the ground,
and are of thick enough wire to resist a
heavy blow. The balls are of hard rubber
) II inches in diameter. The Wickets are
1-2 inches inside measurement. The
mallets may be of any pattern or size that
suits the fancy of the player, but the most
approved style is one with n hend ten
inches long, having hard rubber ends Sc
cured by steel band, and with handle
about fourteen inches long and rough
ened so rs to secure the grip. The best
of them screw into the head and are per-
fectly round. The ground is laid out
with two stakes of iron less than an inch
in diameter, two wickcts at each end and
two on each side, in Il line with the second
arch from the stake and with n double
middle wicket set crosSwise. This middle
wicket consists of two arches like the rest,
joined over the top and about fifteen
inches apart. The bail must be sent
through both of these ut single shot.
The only way TO do this, with fair pros
pect of success, is 60 take IL roquet from a
ball a short distance from the arch and
get in the Jaws Of the first Of the pair of
wictets and ut the next blow go through
them both.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union Celebrates It's Birthday.
The WOman's Christian Temperance
Union held SITS seventh anniversary meeting
in Knights of Pythias Hail. last night. The
reports of work by the President, Vice
President and Secretary were read. Rev.
A. NJ. Wynn and Rev. E. II. McGehee de-
livered brief addresses. A chorus choir
rendered several part songs with much &C
ceptance. A duet was also sung by two of
Savannah's best singers, and a solo The
Flowing Tide by we'll known tenor fol-
lowed. The chief as rant for musical
honors was a mezzo soprano voice of good
quality, who sang a solo in which the air of
"Home, Sweet Home" is sklfullY intro
duced. She sang with much taste and
musical expression. A pleasing feature of
the occasion WAS "a Collection Speech"
recited by little Miss Symons.
The Presidents report was substantially
as follows:
THE Savannah branch of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was organized
seven years ago by Miss F. G. Willard and
IA list of $50 names were enrolled. Mrs.
Charles Green was elected President. Since
then the membership has diminished and is
now only about sixty.

of work. Three years ago we made
our first effort in Eyangelistic WORK
by n regular systematic visitation of the
jail, the distribution of religious papers and
tracts, clothing the ragged and needy with
articles of cast off clothing. During the
past year forty-two people have taken alb
stinence pledges. The majority have kept

HACKED BY HACKMEN.
A Scriven County Preacher Has an
Experience with a Dozen of Them.

A Scriven County Preacher Has an
Experience with Dozen of Them.
West Broad street in front of the Central
railroad depot was the scene, yes
terday afternoon, of funny
occurrence between a number of
hackmen and an innocent colored preacher.
The preacher hailed from Scriven county
and had Just arrived on the Atlanta train
He wanted to &c to Elder Browns, but
didn't know which way to 60 He walked
up to a bystander and piled him with in
quirieS as to Elder b. owns whereabouts.
In a moment he was besieged on every
side by hackmen Each knew Elder Broom
Some belonged to his church. A few of
them were ex-ministers and had been on
preaching tours with the elder. They
finally wound up by giving descriptions of
him, no two Of which were alike. The
countryman who was by this time nearly de
ranged sadly shook his head and told them
that Elder Brown was but one man.
The industrious hackmen had failed
and mounting their hacks drove away,
leaving the preacher somewhat bewild-
cred After most of them we're gone, a
smiling porter driving a street wagon,
came busting up to him and told him tin at
he could set him down in Elder Browns
yard in a few minutes, and pointing to his
rickety wagon said Minister, what |
gives you'S straight"
Don't do it, jedge," shouted a hackman,
who had been sitting in tie shade of his
hack, apparently asleep. Don't yer do it /:
don't yer summit ter such unreglar treat
ment. You'll fall fru dat nigger's wagin er
hat er dozen times twix here an dare. An
ernuther thing, a wagins no place fur err
minister. knows, kase Use been one my

Just then a gentleman stepped out of the
depot with valise, and IAN hands, scam
pered off TO where he stood, shouting
"hacks." The preacher in the meantime
made his escape.
