Although there is no WE'LL auth ntlcated date

tempt to deny that IL Is one Of the most ancient
pastimes In existence. and. contrary to the
general belief among the healthiest and most
exciting. Whether the game found It's origin
in England or Scotland is another doubtful
question. for during the last fifty years at
least the game has steadily progressed in
both countries. and the championship has

Scotland places her dependence upon the char.

OF recent years Americana have exhibited
quite fancy for the sport, and taking last year
as fair EXAMPLE there was quito a. much
playing In this country as In any part Of Great
Britain. That the game has not become more
popular here among tho masses Is due direct
" to the fact that but little attention has been
paid to the development Of the younger gen
Grafton. simply because there has never been
regularly organized body in America to con-
troll and improve tho game. Therefore the
professional element have had full sway OF
everything connected with the sport. Last
year there were some attempts IN this vicinity
to encourage beginners. but the inducements
were OF avery feeble character. Those who
did make commencement found the work 90

to raise money for the King. as we'll A. for her

court was poor. and Queen Henrietta lived al
