Chapter XX: Front Matter (20)

Can be played all the year round. Golf balls and putters are used; the balls are four to the set, and are coloured like croquet balls. The obstacles to be played through include hoops, rings, a tunnel, a bridge, and a tray which has to be entered up an incline. The full game is very suitable for an ordinary tennis court, but can also be played on small lawns, while on very small lawns some of the hoops, &c., can be omitted. When a number of people play, as at garden parties, &c., the sets can follow each other round the same court, as on golf links; extra balls can be obtained for this purpose. Set complete in box and Book of Rules, with “Excelite” balls, 30/0. Putters 4/6 each extra.

S G 88. Boletto.

The game of Boletto, whilst partaking of the nature of the old pastime of Bowls, contains additional features which render it specially suitable as a social lawn game in which both ladies and gentlemen can take part, and it is therefore a most useful game for parties.

No. 2 (b) Lawn. Containing 8 beech balls, 3⅝ in. diameter, varnished and painted, 1 beech jack, 4 polished sticks 2 ft. 10 in. long, with rules, packed in strong wood box, 9/6 per set.

The Game of “Castello.”

“Castello” is a lawn game on an entirely new principle, and must not in any sense be confused with croquet. Set, consisting of 4 castles in brilliant colours, 4 superior boxwood mallets with specially shaped ends and band of colour to match, 8 coloured balls, 4 ringed and 4 plain, and 12 effective flags in 4 colours to be inserted in the tops of the castles, and rules in strong box. 28/6

The newest game for small lawns. The only game for small lawns that gives as great an amount of sport as tennis. It is the outcome of long study, and the object is to give a smart, quick, dexterous game requiring but a small space. This is a want that has long been felt, and it is an ideal game for those who have neither time to keep in touch with a club, nor sufficient space for tennis at home. Ordinary tennis bats are used. A splendid game can be played on a lawn 40 ft. by 12 ft. or even smaller. Complete Set:--2 brass jointed poles with iron spike, brass bound, 2 cross arm pieces, 1 12-ft. net complete, 1 mallet, 2 guy ropes, 4 iron pegs, 2 balls, 1 book of directions with description.

This game meets the demand for an outdoor game which, whilst not requiring a large area for play, possesses in a marked degree the qualities which make Golf, Croquet and Billiards so popular. Two or more can play, and the more players the greater the chance to exercise the skill and tactics the game calls for to win it outright. It preserves the attractions of Golf so far as putting, short drives, stymies and bunkers, &c., are concerned; the nine hole game with four playing occupying about two hours with expert players.

No. 2 Set.--5 Association Gofky jacks, made from selected Lignum Vitæ, highly polished, with inset bone numbers, 2 Association cast-iron aluminium-painted holes, 2 numbered golf balls, packed in strong square iron-bound and battened case with handle on top 25/0.

Putters, Mashies, 4/6 extra. Score Cards 0/6 Doz.

KITES.

Instructions for Flying “BrooKite” Kites:--if the Operator is standing in a place sheltered from the wind, it may be necessary to send the Assistant down wind with instructions to hold the Kite over his head. The Operator then pulls the line, when the Kite will soar at once. No tails are required to balance the “BrooKite,” which is scientifically constructed, and such fixings are therefore not necessary. Should the Operator be standing in an open space, the Kite will leave the hand immediately it receives the full force of the wind. Always let out as much line as possible, and allow the Kite to float away from the hand. Then at once pull the line smartly, and the Kite will immediately soar overhead and well into the upper and steadier wind currents.

Instructions for adapting Kites to Light and Heavy Winds.--Light Winds: Kites are sent out already adjusted to fly in light breezes. Heavy Winds: Shorten bottom bridle cords by tying a loop knot in same.

THE “HARRODIAN” KITE Is the result of experiments by a well-known Kite expert to combine-- STABILITY, STEADINESS IN FLIGHT, SIMPLICITY, with that greatest essential feature in Kites, GREAT LIFTING POWER. The lifting power is obtained at an extraordinary angle of flight, while in fact the Kite is soaring almost straight over the head of the operator.

THE DIRIGIBLE FLYER.

One of the principal features of the “Dirigible” Flyer is the perfect control of the steering, a slight pressure of the foot or hand on the steering bar being sufficient to guide it either side. This great advantage over every other type of sledge is obtained by its having runners of T shaped spring steel which, although flexible sideways, are otherwise perfectly rigid. It is of light construction, but will be found very strong and also most neat in appearance.

Invented by Eugen Sandow (the greatest living authority on Physical Culture), and as used in all the Sandow Schools of Physical Culture. The New Model Sandow Developer is a vast improvement on the old pattern, for in addition to the old methods of using it, by a special device this can now be attached to the feet, and so used in the most confined space... This is a feature which Mr. Sandow has long sought to make practicable.

The six strands are now of equal length, and the Developer handles have three loops, so that it will make a perfect Chest Expander of from one to six strands. Price 12/6.

The support has no spring, but is set firmly into the iron base, which, having a rounded bottom, permits of the necessary oscillation. It possesses an advantage over the usual type of bag owing to the fact that it is impossible to gauge the direction in which the ball will return, and every blow struck causes a change in the direction.
