Bicycle croquet is the lates% novelty
for cyclists 1t requires a nicely of
balance and a delicacy of touch. The
regulation hoops and balls are used.
but it is preferable that the handles of
the mallets should be a little longer
than those in everyday use. If the ex-
tent of the lawn will permit it, the
distance between the hoops may be in
creased. The rules as to the progress
of the ball are the same as in the usual
game. 1t is permissible to advance the
balls either by blow of the mallet or by
a deft contact with the front wheel.
When the wheel of the cyclist playing
strikes the wrong ball he loses his play.
When a player dismounts before the
end of the game he is compelled to
again.
