few bowls, mat and a jack are the
only implements used in this game, which
should be played on level piece of green
sward about 126 feet long and about half
as wide These dimensions may be re-
duced if necessary. The bowls are lignum
vitae balls, 1614 inches in diameter and
hattened on two edges. The jack is ball
of white earthware. 1t should be as nearly
as possible 2M inches in diameter. There
are no pins. The game is started by roll
ing the jack onto the field. The mat is
placed at the point from which players
must roll the bowls. The jack is the OBJ
lCct aimed at, and the bowl must curve at
least one yard in a run of thirty. In other
words it is not permissible to roll it straight

rules are much the Same as in quoits.
