After each game the grounds are sprinkled
and rubbed ever with a piece of mating
or carpet, SO that they are as smooth and
hard as a billiard table. Croquet, as 1t Is
played under such conditions as these and
by experts, is decidedly interesting game
to watch, and the number of spectators
who crowd around the grounds is increas-
ling as the tournament gets under full head

The result of the play up to this after
noon in the various divisions into which
the players are grouped is as follows:

lowed him to Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, and
other military departments, in order to be
near him In his campaigns. Her tact and
good sense made friends for both of them

with her courtship by Gen. Crook. She was
a southern woman. born and bred and nat

many friends on 1.-The other side" Not
withstanding this, the brave Union soldier
wooed her during the war, and finally won

rounding country was filled with confeder-
ate troops, Gen. Crook made a desperate
effort to see her. with the result that he
was captured by the enemy near her house
and kept prisoner for several weeks,
when he was exchanged. He renewed his
suit at the first opportunity with so much
ardor and success that the couple were
married soon after the close of the war,
and his bride accompanied him to his sta
