from the nearest boundary ; hoops up centre line of 

 ground, 7 yards from peg and 7 yards apart ; corner 

 hoops, 7 yards from centre line and 7 yards from the 

 nearest boundaries. 



It is important in lifting the hoops for roUing and 

 mowing, to fill up the holes with a mixture of fine dry 

 earth and sand before replacing the hoops. By this 

 means they are kept rigid and upright. 



When the croquet season is over the hoops are put 

 away and painted during the winter. 



The best way to do this is to rub the hoops down well 

 with fine sandpaper, and repaint them with good oil 

 colour. Use it thin, and put on two or three coats. It 

 is preferable to one thick coat.
