 but materials for playing at it are sold by Messrs. Cato & Son, wire- 

 workers, Holborn Hill, London, who send out with them the following 

 printed rules : — 



" This game, which differs from all others, should be played on a lawn 

 about 12 yards square ; the socket with the ring being fixed in the centre, 

 by a block of wood fixed into the earth. It may be played by two or four 

 persons, either separately, or as partners, each player having a ball with 

 a cue pointed to correspond. Care must be taken to fix the ring at the 

 end of the cue close to the ball before striking."
