Excerpt from Le Cercle: The Queen of the Summer Games Admits of much more variety and far greater skill in playing than Croquet, and also can be set up and played to advantage (when required) on about half the space ordinarily used for Field Croquet. The patent ball-shaped or spherical mallet is a new and important feature, and will eventually supersede the old style croquet mallet when. Its merits become known, - as the present round bat, with all skilful base ball players, has wholly taken the place of the old square-sided bat. Another peculiarity of the game is the swinging balls, 12 in number, which, when struck with the players' ball, ever so lightly, will vibrate like a pendulum, and 'immediately indicate which ball was struck. The iron wickets, of which ladies complain so much in Croquet, are done away with, and neatly turned wood wickets are substituted.
