while the higher-priced are of 
RICH AND ELEGANT PATTERN, 
capable of transforming a plain and unattractive lawn into a scene of beauty. 
regarded simply 
AS A GAME, STANDS UNRIVALLED. 
It calls for not only the skill of die best “Croquetist” but that of the Chess Player as well. lie who 
would become aline player of Chivalrie, must not only be able to make accurate and direct strokes with 
the mallet, but must as well be a skilful tactician, and so arrange his attack as to carry an opponent past 
his count in Throne or Castles, and yet save his own. In playing for position he must have in mind the 
possibility of an attack, the danger of imprisonment in the Bastile, and yet take a certain risk based on 
the expectation of escaping that disaster and placing his opponent ho/s de combat 
Those who saw the costly set at Long Branch last season will not withhold their testimony as 
regards its ELEGANT AND TASTEFUL DESIGN, or its absorbing interest as a Game. 
The sets are manufactured in eight different styles, at following prices: $3, $12.50, $25, 
$50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000.
