A New Game with an Old Name~-A

a New Game with an Old Name~-A
Terror to Beginners.
ooh, can play croquet.'
"You can, canyouY
COT course, it's eagy--nothing but
whacking a lot of baf@around on the
lawn with a little mallet. ] used to
play it when was little"
That is what nearly everyone would
say if asked; but playing Qroquet is
not so easy now as it used to be, when
a fairly skillful player could start
third or fourth and 60 clearthrough
to the further stake in one inning.
Just as in baseball, cone out, side out"
used to be the rule. Now it takes
three out to give a fellow a chance
to bat again; so croquet has been made
harder and harder, until now it's a
terror to beginners.
In The first place, it isn't played
at least, in match games of any inn
portance-on grass or lawns, but up
on carefully beaten dirt courts, as level
as billiard tables. They are like bill
lard tables, too, in that they have
raised edges of beveled timber all
around them, from which carom or
rebounding shots can be made; and
good player is expected not only to
be able to make c9rom shots, but to
hit his ball a downward blow with the
mallet and make it jump right over
another ball or wire that he doesn't
want to hit.
But the most vexatious thing about
the modern croquet game is the way
in which the wickets, or arches, have
been narrowed. They used to be ten
inches wide at the start, and half
the time were spread an inch or so
wider before being driven into the
ground with a mallet. Now the or
binary wickets are exactly 81 inches
wide, and the two arches or wickets
set side. by side in the middle of the
ground have only 8 3-9 inches Of space
between the wires. A regulation Gro.
quet ball is 81 inches in diameter, so
that there is just quarter of an inch
to spare in going through an ordinary
wicket, and in the middle wickets
only an eighth Of an inch. This rem
ders it hard to make a shot when the
ball is not in good position. Besides
the balls are no longer turned out
of wood with lathe, but are made Of
hard pressed rubber. The mallet may
be lockwood, but the head is oftener
a steel tube filled with wood in the
middle, with one end Of soft rubber
and one of hard rubber. The mallet
heads are long and straight, the ham
dies vary in length, but are commonly
shorter than in the old days, running
down even to ~ inches.
Croquet was for time badly dis
tanced in the popular affection by
tennis, just as tennis has since suffered
by the golf craze; but the older game
seems now to be gaining ground again
in all parts Of the country.-Philadel-

to bring out speedy cure. From

recommendations included HherelL,
we concluded to make first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was sat
