 In England there is a regular Table Tennis association. to promote the in terests of the sport and to arrange for championship meets.
 The staidest of New York's clubs are given over to ping-pong. It was sneercd at at first. Now those who came to scom remain to play. Ping pong parties for valuable prizes are held in dozens of fashionable houses every night.
 The Crescent Athletic club of Brook lyn claims the honor O; having intro duced ping-pong. It has some crack pinG-pongers in its ranks. The Calu- met club Of Fifth avenue and Twenty ninth street has surrendered it's digni- lied atmosphere to the delights of ping pong. It is said that the best players | in New York got their skill there. At the pig Yale club an entire room is given over to six ping-pong tables. Attendants s"rve the tables just as they do in the billiard rooms. and Il regular charge is made for playing. The big theater at the Strollers' new cldb house is filled with ping-pons tables. and the click of the little balls hopping back and forth is heard til late at night.
 Some exciting matches have been played there.
