OF Prof j. {. Smith, the master Of cere-
monies. introduced an entirely new parlor
game which has since gone the rounds, and
mas become such fad among the WIS.,
tiers as to almost amount to a craze, The
game is called fairy cricket" and is de-
scribed as played by the guests of the Cole

ter or the large amusement hall was placed
a wicket, prettily mounted with pink rib
bons. and on either side, at a distance of
about twenty feet, was placed two white
bars. made by a combination of circular
discs OF stiff paper, one pair being tinted
red on the outside edges. the other pair
blue. There were two participants on each
side provided with large palm leaf fans
The aim is. with the wind created by fam
ming above the balls. though not touching
them, to drive the spheres through the
wicket, the red to the goal of the blue, and
the blue to the goal OF the red and back
again, meanwhile each party hindering and
driving back the opponents balls. With
