GAMES AND THEIR ORIGIN.

Tennis is undoubtedly the oldest of all
existing ball games. Its origin Is buried
IN antiquity, but it was played largely
IN Europe during the middle ages In the
parks and bitches of feudal castles. The
French learned the game from the Ital-
ians, the British from the French.
Golf is popularity said to be a Scot
tish game, but there Is good reason to
suppose that, in the first instance, 1t
came from Holland, Cricket, however is
essentially all British, says London An

found in 18Th century manuscript, and
1t derives its name from the Saxon word
"cric,' or "cryc," meaning "a staff"
Billiards is believed to have been
brought from the east by the Crusaders;
though some people say that the French
developed it from an ancient German
game Chess, however which is the most
intellectual of all games. is also tho most
