rARLE LA1p our roR INDOOR GOLF.

The ordinary rules of golf cover the
game. the only additional one being
that the counter may be placed fat be-
fore striking the bah from hole to hole.
A special tee is provided for every hole,
the hole itself being indicated by red
flag
Each hole is only little larger than
the disk. or ball. and six or eight feet
is considered a good lilliputian drive.
Provided the holes are kept reason
able distance apart, the making of a
hole in one drive will not be so fire..
quent as in the outdoor game
All symptoms of heart failure in an
amateur will be dissipated when it is
learned that in this game there are
only four holes instead of the Is used
out of doors The lowest score on rec
ord is H.
AS many as u can play, and single
person can find amusement trying for
the record No other indoor game
adapts itself so readily to the require
ments of large party
Starting from the first tee, an obsta-
Gle is met before the first hole is reach
ed. From the second tee the high
bunker has to be overcome. Then in
the next jump the sand bunker must
be crossed, and last but not least diff
cult is the pond which lies between the
fourth tee and the fourth and last hole.

TIE SCORING WORLD.

A new indoor winter game has ar
rived. 1t is indoor, or, to be more ac-
curate, &liputian, golf, game which
has the main principles of golf and
adds to these interesting and original
details for its completion. 1t is full of
life, and it may become as popular
during nights in the winter months as
the outdoor game is in summer time.
All ages and both sexes can play it.
If the course be ingeniously arrang-
ed, the possibilities of the game become
amazingly interesting, and much skill
is required to jump the ponds, high
bunkers and sand bunkegs. The game
is best played on billiard table, but
can be executed with greater amuse-
ment on plain, ordinary table.
Take table from to II feet in
length, stretch the baize over it and
then begin to place the parts in posi-
ton No standard in the arrangement
of the different holes and obstacles is
required, but the more intricate the po-
sitions the greater the amusement.

New Fashions In Yachts.

During the last few years the sloop
and cutter types of yachts have mo
nopolzed the attention of both salt and
fresh water yachtsmen There are
signs of q change. however. and it be-
gins to look as though within the next
five years there will be as many of the
old schooner type as there are of the
single stickers. 1t was not until the
season of 1899 was begun that the
change in ideas began 10 be apparent.
but the number of schoonerS that were
launched and raced last summer shows
that the old type is fast regaining
prestige with eastern yachtsmen,
which means that it will not be long
before it has again come into favor
with western yachtslnen. for the west
erners have always regarded the east
ern yachtsmen with a "whither thou
goest'' sort of expression. This is not
greatly to be wondered at, however,
for the increased opportunities for
studying which the eastern yachtsmen
have places them in a position to die
tate the fashion in the cut of yacht
as the easterner dictates the fashion
in the cut of a coat.
