A Fascinating 



New Lawn Game, VlCKtory. 



"yiCKTORY" 



is more scientific than Croquet, yet easily learned and is intensely fascinating 

 clear to the end of the game, for no matter how much lead one player or side 

 may have gained, one miss stroke, on the leading side, or one good strike from the losing side, may 

 entirely reverse the commanding lead. Consequently the game is absorbingly interesting throughout. 



" Vicktory " has several other advantages over Croquet: it is adapted to lawns which are too small for Croquet, 

 requiring a space only 24 feet by 30 feet, though great variation in the size of the ground is possible, the shape 

 of the court being octagonal. 



The court can be laid out and the game played on any level plot of grass of sufficient size, or on smooth, hardened, bare ground, 

 sanded ; the latter of course being preferable for very scientific playing, or the game can be played on the floor of a house. It can be 

 played by two, three or four persons. 



It is a game of vicissitudes, the object being to get your own and your partner's balls into the ring and put out or keep out your 

 opponents. In starting the game red places his ball in the "striker's box,'' a mallet's length from the stake, and strikes his hall, 

 to make it enter the ring. If he succeeds he starts a new ball, ar.d so continues until he misses or fails to ''ling'' his ball. Blue now 

 starts a ball and endeavors to ring it, or if he prefers, may try to hit the red ball. If he succeeds in the latter move, he may croquet 

 his opponent to any part of the ground, and then have a shot from his new position for the ring. If he succeeds, he takes out c - 

 : is opponent's balls, if any are in the ring, and every ball that is " ringed " entitles the pla_er to take out one of his opponents 

 All balls so taken t ut must be started over as though they had not been played. 



When three persons play, one ball of each of the opponents is ta\en out for every ore a player rings. When four play, or. 

 ball is taken out for each ball ringed, and not any for ringing 

 a partner's ball. 



The person who gets all his balls in the ring wins the 

 game. When four play, the side which rings all six balls wins. 



"Vicktory" is not made cheaply, only the best 

 "rock maple' 1 '* stock being used, it is handsomely finish- 

 ed and finely boxed. 



PRICE: (f.o.b.X.Y.) $3.75, or with wickets and 

 extra stakes so it can be used for Croquet, ' 4 00.
