PING PONG.
Here's How You Play the Latest
Fashionable Indoor Game.

Pingpong Is the very latest thing in
indoor games. The game bids fair to
become a society craze, like golf or
croquet; at least everybody is talking
about it.
Pingpong is an ideal indoor game.
1t Is happy solution of how to spend
the time on those dull, rainy days at
summer resorts when everybody wan
ders aimlessly about and wishes it
would clear up. One of its merits is
that the outfit for the game requires
only small outlay Of money. Sets are
made by dealers for from S. to $40.
Second, 1t is very simple. 1t Is lawn
tennis with such notifications as suit
the different conditions. 1t may be
played on an ordinary dining room ta-
BILE. In the center a net is stretched
supported on either side by movable
uprights, which are made to clamp on
to the edges of the table. This net Is
about six inches in height, and the ball
Is batted back and forth across 1t. OF
course the height of the net may vary.
The lower 1t Is the more difficult the
strokes may be to return. The server
has greater opportunity to send low,
swift ball. The best proportions for
pingpong table are 0 feet long by s
feet wide, but table of any propor-
tions may be made to serve ones pleas
ure.
The space on either side of the net is
not subdivided, as In lawn tennis.
There is one large court. The rackets
are of two sorts, They are considera-
bly, smaller and lighter than ordinary
tennis rackets and, like these, are
strung with gut or are formed from
single pieces of veillum stretched tight
ly over a frame, like drumhead. The
ball used Is of light celluloid and Is
hollow. 1t Is very lively and Is as
elastic as the best rubber. Moreover,
II is so light that 1t does not endanger
glass. When struck, this tiny globe
gives out Il musical pingpong sound;
hence the rather fetching name that
our English cousins bestowed upon the
game.
But two persons can play at one
time. AS in tennis, one is the server
and the other the striker out. After the
first game the server becomes the
striker out, and so on, alternately. Two
trials by the server are not allowed.
The player must place his service on
the first attempt. Another important
exception to the tennis rules Is that
player may not volley The ball must
strike the table and rebound before the
striker has the right to return It, For
the rest. the rules follow pretty closely
those of outdoor tennis. The first point
won counts fifteen; the second sends
the score to thirty, the third to forty, |
N no l,,,tI
a player cannot win without being two |
points In advance OF his opponent. |
hence. as in lawn tennis. there are !

The bridal party entered the church
to the strains of Mendelssohns we'd
ding march, played by Miss Margaret
Thornton. The bride was attended by
Miss Theresa Healy, while William A.
Lynett, of McDonough avenue, acted
as groomsman.
After the ceremony. which was per-
formed by Rev. N. j. McManus, the
bridal party was driven to the brides
home on West Market street, where a
wedding breakfast was served by
Caterer Hanley. Only the immediate
relatives and friends Of both families
were present.
The early hour of the ceremony did
not prevent a large number of their
friends from attending. The bride was
beautifully attired in white mousseline
de sole, trimmed with Irish point lace.
Mrs. Lynett Is a well known and
popular young lady. Mr.. Lynett is
mailcarrier on one of the central city
routes. The newly married couple left
on a wedding tour to Philadelphia and

deuce games. Six games constitute a
set.
The player, of course, is compelled to
stand at the end os table. There is
little opportunity for i. ing about, and
the game depends largely on quickness
and reach; hence there is not much va
riety in the play, and the victory seems
to go to the steadier of the two COM
batants. No overland strokes are per-
mitted. Some English players have
claimed that the backhand stroke Is the
secret of success, but this Is not borne
out by the practice.
Pingpong came to US from England.

How a Busted RdnCher Made Good at
 lmDerial
Imperial

In March, 1900, very much dis couraged man was driving through the Moreno plain, thinking of his hard luck. He had bought Moreno land and water rights at 800 per acre. The water rights had vanished and Bear Valley bonds had borne down upon him and squeezed out any possible equity he might have had left in his home property. With all, he was feel ing, if possible, like man who had been killed twice.
 As he drove over very familiar bridge his attention was drawn to a new sign placed upon the bridge, which read: Good land with abundant Wa ter right in the Colorado delta, $1O per acre. For particulars, address l. w. Gleason, Corona, Cal"
 He turned away disgusted, thinking who could be foolish enough to want any more of desert than this very Moreno plain. Every day he crossed the same bridge and the sign set him to thinking.
 The following year found him in the Imperial valley freighting between Flowingwell and Imperial, and last fall he put in crop of barley on am other mans land. He has already been offered 5000 cash for his crop on 40 acres. He now has contract with the McConine Machine Company, and is handling machinery for them in Imperial
 Last month he wrote home to his father as fellows:
 Father go down to the bridge and get that sign about Imperial lands. Don't mutilate it, but pull out the nails carefully and take it home and frame it. That is the beacon light that led
