A new gymnasium game which has
achieved great popularity this winter
at Or. Savage's Institute is known az
curtain ball. " II ia played with
regular basket ball, and possesses much
OF the vigor though not of the scientiflol
points Of play Of the older game. A

from a wire, ia stretched across the
centre of the gymnasium. The players.
divided evenly into two sides There ia
no limit 10 the number which may take
part. except that suggested by the size
of the rooml, range themselves on the
opposite sides OF this partition. The
object OF each Hlde is TO project tho
ball over the curtain into the territory
OF Its opponents, a point being scored
every time il touches the ground, in
favor Of those who threw il. IL thus
becomes the constant endeavor of each
division 10 prevent he ball from land
ing on it's own ground, as well as to
throw 1t into the court of its opponents.
As the curtain renders the movements
ut the players invisible on opposite
aides. the interest and excitement are
kept constantly at the highest pitch.
Nobody knows from which quarter the
leather sphere may come flying over
