His Souvenir Club Book of the Providence Athletic Association is published to present some adequate illustration of the opportunities the Club affords. It forms the expression of a wish that has been cherished for several years, and is now made possible by the cooperation of business men in Providence and other cities. The publishers are (i. L. Doane & Co., of Boston, well known in the trade. The many photographs of the building were taken by the Providence Albertype Co., and the artistic groups are from the Pierce Studio, Providence. The half-tone illustrating is the high-grade work of the Rhode Island Photo-Engraving Co. The composition and presswork is by the Journal of Commerce Co. Greal credit is due to all of these for their earnest cooperation in securing a successful result. Warm thanks are due also to the colabor- ators for their expert presentation of the uses of the different departments in the Club House. Besides the P. A. A. Constitution, By-Laws, House Rules and Membership Lists, a valuable feature of this book consists of its collection of Rules for Sports. Most of these rules are re-published from Spalding's Athletic Library, by the courtesy of the American Sports Advertising Agency, publishers. Edward H. Tingley, ^ Pardon Miller, i r William M. P.

No. 45 Westminster St. PROVIDENCE, R. I. FRANK F. TINGLEY, Tine monumental Work. Architectural Competition. LIBRARIES. HOSPITALS, CHURCHES, SCHOOLHOUSES, ETC. PUBLIC BUILDINGS of all kinds. Mr. F. F. Tingley offers his services in the laying down of conditions and requirements for architectural competition. It is increasingly evident, from the result of many recent competitions, that for some reason committees or individu- als who wish to select an architect through competition, fail to obtain the best work of which those who compete are capable. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that com- mittees or individuals are not always familiar with the de- tails of architectural practice, and are unable to lay down such conditions as will most accurately explain the require- ments, make possible the best work on the part of the architect,, and place those who compete on the same level. It is believed that there is an opportunity here for some person who has had an architectural training, and also experience in the conducting of competitions to act as a mediator between committees or individuals and architects. Mr. Tingley proposes to keep thoroughly in touch with current architecture, and be able to state at once the names of those architects who have become eminent, or who have done successful work in the different departments of architecture. He is now in charge of the erection of the Pawtucket Library Building of Pawtucket, R. I. Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, of Boston, are the architects. It is a memorial gift from the Hon. F. C. Sayles, of Pawtucket, R. I. The plans for this Library were awarded as the result of a highly successful competition conducted by Mr. Tingley. Address FRANK F.

ITS CLUB HOUSE AND PRIVILEGES. HE Providence Athletic Association was organized under its charter on May 23, 1891, with 655 members. Its location, on the corner of Weybosset and Potter streets, containing 9,113 : : ' square feet of land, was voted on January 9, 1893, and Messrs. George L. Shepley, John Shepard, Jr., and Walter A. Peck were appointed a special committee to buy the property and erect a club-house. On May 31, 1893, a first mortgage of $125,000 and second mortgage notes to the amount of •$ 100,000 were authorized. These were all taken, and the notes have since been changed to coupon bonds. The Association is authorized to hold property to the amount of #100,000. The Association's elegant and commodious building was formally opened with a crowded reception on June 16, 1891, and has been in successful operation since, with all the improvements experience could suggest. It has become indis- pensable in the life of Providence and vicinity, appreciated alike by its members and the ladies and children of their families. THE CLUB HOUSE. The P. A. A. Club House is a five-story brick building, with a basement. The main entrances are handsomely recessed from the street, and an ornamental bay-window, finished in copper, projects from the front of the building on the second, third and fourth stories. There are also side bay-windows on the second and third stories, and an entrance for servants and the delivery of supplies on Potter street, The structure is equipped with fire-escapes, and the large, flat roof is strong enough to serve for a roof garden. The interior arrangements are upon an ample scale. The building is heated by steam, piped for gas, fitted with pneumatic tubes, and possesses an artesian well-system, a laundry, and an electric lighting system of its own. At the top of the Club House, in front, an electric emblem blazes forth the Club design at night, and the brilliantly-lighted building 1 is even more noticeable than in the daytime. There are two plunger elevators, one passenger, the other for freight: also a sidewalk lift on Potter street, A light-shaft rises above the second story on the servants' side of the house. There are lavatories on every floor, and the house is fitted with screens, Venetian curtains and awnings. A long-distance telephone room opens from the entrance hall on the firstfloor, and the Club House has electric time service. The main office provides post-office, cigar, railroad and 65 messenger service. There is a coat room with complete service on the first floor, and a cloak room on the fifth. The door-men admit an average of 400 people daily, and a list discloses if ,in\ member sought can he found in the Club House. A buffet and lunch-room are situated (in the first floor, and serving rooms on the first, second and fourth floors. The Governing Com- mittee's room and Superintendent's office is located on the first floor. The publication office of ••Tin'. Triangle" is situated on the .second floor, as well as a photographic dark room. The kitchen, pantry, storerooms and ser- vants' quarters are on tin- fifth floor. There are many comfortable chambers on the third floor. Some members reside at the Club permanently. The bowling alleys are in the basement. The cycle room has an entrance from the side- walk on Weybossel street. The steam, electric and water systems are interesting features. There are two Franklin boilers in the basement, of 80 horse power each, and fitted with injectors and Worthington pumps. There is a double electric light system, two dyna- mos with a capacity of 1,200 Lights on three circuits, driven by 65- and oil -horse power Armington & Sims engines. The steam laundn is run by a 6 -horse power motor. The artesian well, sunk 342 feet into slate formation, has a capacity of 50 gallons a minute when pumped. :',.". gallons being the estimate aecessarj for the house ; the temperature of ,1,,. water is about 55 degrees. A Peane pump, sending 2h gallons a stroke, and commonly run "20 to 25 strokes a minute, drives the water to the storage tank on the roof, holding 10,000 gallons, and thence the water is distributed through the house. HOURS. \|y \l/ HE Club House is open the year round from 8 A. M *ff = t\ == ^ 12.30 at night, except Sundays, when it closes at 11.1 P. M. to 30 The dining and beverage service is maintained until midnight, but on Sundays closes an hour earlier; upon special occasions different arrangements are made. The employes are neatly liveried in blue, and divided into two watches. There are 75 in all departments of the Club House. One of the House Utiles, in force in all clubs to preserve equality of attention and proper service, reads: "No member or visitor shall give any money or gratuity to any servant of the Association." The division of hours in the various departments, and in the gymna- sium (dasses, is regulated by special rules. Generally speaking, Tuesdays and Fridays are for ladies in the daytime. DINING ROOMS. The main dining room, located on the fourth floor, and handsomely hung with paintings, is 42 by 50 feet, and ordinarily seats 105 persons; as many as 150 people, however, can be accommodated at a special din- ner. A serving room and a wine room both open from the dining room, and a cigar case is placed at the desk. The arrangement is principally that of small tables, seating two to four people, although larger parties can be placed together, and a large oval table occupies the centre of the room. There is a handsome 66 sideboard and special monogram linen, china and silver- ware. From 12 to 3 o'clock daily a table d'hote lunch is served for thirty-jive cents, and it is unequalled in the city. There is also a regular menu served to order, and an extensive carte du jour. The prices here, as of other things in the house, are lower than in the city's first-class restaurants and hotels. Everything is of the best quality and prepared in a manner not approached elsewhere. Orders can be given at the office or by telephone 856, to be served at any desired time. On Saturday evenings, in the winter, the ladies' theatre dinners (table d'hote, for a dollar), are given here from six to eight, with an orchestra. Early break- fast is served for lodgers. The complete menu is served only in the dining rooms and sent to the Turkish Baths, but sandwiches, crackers and cheese are served throughout the Club House, except in the fencing and boxing rooms, gymnasium and swimming pool. The private dining room, on the fourth floor, is in considerable demand for dinner parties. In fact, din- ners of various societies and social bodies are constantly being given at the Club House. The gymnasium is brought into use for larger organizations, and can accommodate as many as 500 diners. Notable dinners here have been that tendered the Mexican, Central and South American Trade delegates, the dinner of the Brown University Club, of Providence, and the Alpha Delta Phi Convention. In the ladies' dining room on the fifth floor the full service is maintained. This dining room seats 36 people ; tables are spread in the adjoining reception room for any excess, making it possible to accommodate 60. It is a particularly well-liked resort for suppers after the closing of the theatres. The location of the Club House, within a block of the principal shopping district, makes the ladies' department a favorite place for shoppers, both with city residents and for ladies out of town. In fact, the service of the Club House readily shows it to be the easily accessible centre of 300,000 people, located as it is, upon almost the principal street of the city of Providence, and passed by nearly all lines of trolley cars. SOCIAL ROOMS. The second story of the Club House is its social floor. The Club "smokers" are sometimes given in this portion when not pre- sented in the gymnasium, with its large stage. The second floor comprises the spacious parlors, the leading room, writing room, the social card ro s and the large billiard room. There is a cosy fire-place, daily papers, and a large variety of maga- zines and periodicals in the quiet, well-lit reading room. In the centre of the front parlor a large table displays the Club books received from other associations. Here are found many of the Association's celebrated gallery of paintings by Rhode Island artists, and along the hall- way a unique collection of old prints and some marines. The writing room contains excellent examples of poster ait. The billiard room occupies the entire southerly end of this floor, and is completely equipped with four billiard and three pool tables, of Garden City make and first- class quality. There an' free and private cue racks, a cigar ease, and a raised platform for spectators to witness matches and tournaments. The ladies' writing room, reception room and dining room on the fifth floor are about the daintiest bit of work in the Club House, although the entire interior is noteworthy in its art variations of color in the finish. The ladies' rooms are decorated in Louis Quatorze style, hung with paintings, and a beautiful fire-place is sur- Im rounded by etchings in satin depicting characters from the works oi George Eliot. There are papers and magazines, and an extensive library of the better fiction fills an idle hour. There are about 12f> papers, periodicals and magazines, in all, furnished at the Club House. SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENTS. I lie 1'. A. A. has always been more than generous in its enter- tainments and social occasions.

The} nu\ have heard its ringing strains burst from the throat of either a Ludwig, DeReske, or a Whitney, sung with all the dash of which a great singer is capable; but to hear it aright one should actually be •• Down deep within the cellar.*' and hear the melody roll from the lips of a great German basso, while •• Drinking, drinking, drinking.*' Such was my privilege in September of 1889. It was at Creuznach, near the Rhine, that old German city origi- nally founded by the Romans and now famous for its vintages of wines. It is an old saying that if you would see the carnival, see it at Rome. 11 you would drink the wines of the Rhine, drink them at Creuznach ; not in a "Weinstube," but in some deep, cool and semi-dark wine vault. It was in this old city that I met Ilerr X, the great basso, and heard him sing. Through him I met Herr Wirth, the genial owner of huge vineyards and a connoisseur in wines. Then it was my good fortune to drink rare old wines and to wonder why we never had such in America. At least I did wonder then, hut do so no longer. Under their guidance I visited the Kauzenberg, famous for its wines even in so famous a city. Then through the courtesy of Herr Wirth I visited his own vineyards. It is a glorious estate, and may well bring forth good fruits. The vines hung heavy with the great purple clusters of grapes waiting to give up their fragrance and flavor to a new vintage that should in time delight the taste of an epicure. After watching the transition from grape to wine by the picturesque cdad peasant, we visited the great vaults of Herr Wirth. and here came the song. Before us lay the immense casks and butts piled tier on tier. We sampled I locheimer of 1874, Xiersteiner of a still older vintage, Steinwein, Norheimer, and yet more. In a moment of inspira- tion the great basso, who had gone with us. leaning against a, huge butt and with a glass of old Wachenheimer held aloft where the slanting rays of light shone through the glass, turning each head to a crystalized gem, he suddenly opened his lips and out pealed " I m tie fen Keller." Never w r as song so sung before; the long, cool vault, the great casks, silent, yet oh, so full, and the singer, with glass poised aloft, sending out tone after tone as only a great singer can at moments of inspiration. My host was moved to tears and another bottle, which the singer and myself were too much wrought up to refuse. It may be uncertain as to whether it was the surroundings, coupled with the famous brew, which so brought out the beauty of the song, hut there was no uncertainty as to the wines. They needed no accompaniment to add to their aroma and taste. It was with feelings of regret that I was at last obliged to leave the great vault and the host, and a day later to leave ( "reuznach. Never would I hear this old song again under such circumstances, and never would I again taste such wines. It is no wonder that Mendelssohn was inspired to write his beautiful u Rhine Wine Song," if he ever visited Creuznach. No wonder that the " Rhinelanders " have the reputation of ik knowing how to live."" The poorest repast, when washed down by such wines, would become a kingly feast. From that occasion I have never cared to listen to the soner again. Neither have I cared to taste again the vintage of the Rhine until quite by accident I met Mr. Wirth, of Jacob Wirth & Co., here in Providence, and recalling the incident of the song, Mr. Wirth invited me to visit his vaults located in Providence, and afterwards his vaults located in Boston. Here I found the same old wines; here they were bright and sparkling, brought directly from his estate and vaults in old Creuznach, without passing through the hands of some vandal who did not know a wine from a cider. Again I drank the beloved old Wachenheimer and Steinwein, and blessed the fate which threw me in the path of Ilerr Wirth. US LADIES' MORNING ROOM. 99 T.

The wife, mother, mi married daughter and unmarried sister of any member may receive a card, free, entitling her to the privileges of the ladies' portions of the ( lull House. These arc called registered lady members. Other ladies may receive the same privileges, when their names have been regularly approved by the Governing Com- mittee, at an annual charge of $ 10.00, the year expiring Septem- ber 30th. These associate lady mem- bers believe their privileges well worth the thirty-eight and a half cents a week charged. The ladies at the Club House always have the use of their reception rooms and dining room ; during the da\ time Tuesdays and Fridays they have the exclusive use of the Turkish Baths, Swimming Pool, Gymnasium and locker '■ n. and on Friday afternoons they are entitled to use the Bowline Alleys. On Saturday evenings, in the winter, the ladies* theatre dinners are served in the main dining room, and they of course attend all entertainments and special occasions provided for them. The service is complete, including a hairdresser and manicure, hesides the attendants in the Turkish Baths, a housekeeper, a dress- ing maid in the locker room, and one in the cloak room. The dining-room service is better than in private houses generally, and the orders are generous. Those who complain incessantly are of the class who "would find fault if they were going to be hung." The magazines and library are very convenient for all ladies who wish an hour's rest in the busy part of the town. The privileges of the Gymnasium are not appreciated because they are not understood. There are many ladies under the care of physicians who would do well to take an intelligent course of gymnastics under the instructor in charge of this work, subject at all times to carrying out the directions of the family physician. Many now owe their good health in great measure to the work in the Gymnasium. Not only is this work exhilarating, hut the shower baths in connection are most beneficial ; during the cold weather their use has prevented the usual colds contracted when such oppor- tunities have been lacking. The Turkish Baths have greatly improved, and every effort is made to give the best service and comfort to the patrons. The Swimming Pool adds much to the value of the Club, as ladies and young children are taught to swim here successfully before venturing in the ocean. The privileges are many, and are appreciated by the ladies of the P. A. A. THE LADIES' COMMITTEE. lot; WHIST AMONG THE MEN. From the time the P. A. A. first opened its doors, the game of whist has had many followers among the members. The Narragan- sett Whist Club, one of the oldest in the United States, joined the P. A. A. in a body, and formed the nucleus of the whist element, which has since grown steadily in numbers. The club players have an enviable reputation as prize winners at home and abroad. The American Whist League challenge trophy has been won, defended, and lost a number of times, while the trophies of the New England Association travel periodically between this city and Boston. This record is especially true of the Robinson Trophy. This trophy was given to the New England Whist Association by Mr. George H. Robinson, of the P. A. A., to be played for as a perpetual trophy by the clubs of the New England Association. The giver provides a handsome shield to each club that wins the trophy twelve times. The P. A. A. has already scored a number of wins toward a shield, and hopes in the near future to have one hanging on the wall in the whist room. In all of the New England meetings, P. A. A. names will be found among the prize winners. In the spring meeting (1899) of the N. E. W. Association, at the Vendome, in Boston, nine prizes, nearly if not cpuite one-half of those awarded, were won by 1*. A. A. players. One of the special features of the whist play in the club is the Saturday evening matches, under the Howell system for pairs. These matches have done more to bring outside players into the whist room than any other method of play. A small entrance fee is charged, which is used to provide two sets of prizes, which go to the pairs making the highest and next to the highest scores for the evening's play. Monday and Wednesday evenings are devoted to play in teams of four and straight whist. The P. A. A. offers exceptional advantages to all whist players who may wish to become members. The whist rooms are large, quiet, well ventilated, well lighted, and fitted up second to none in New England. B. B.

Shortly after the Athletic Association became an accomplished fact, the besl whist players congregated there, and it did not take long to realize that, as a local whist centre, it had no equal. The women shared this feeling, and ever since the earliest whist tourna- ment, in L897, it has been the aim of the management to elevate the standard of play and create the impression throughout the city that nowhere could such good whist he found among the women. The Ladies' Committee then started a tournament, which was such a decided success that ever since three or tour have been given every year, varying in length from six to twelve meetings. Strange as it may seem, the first principles of whist, absolute quiet, and whist for scores not -prizes, were inculcated from the start. A large matinee whist was given in April. 1897, filling the gymnasium, ami initiating many into the mysteries of duplicate whist. Thai same month five women were sent to represent the 1*. A. A. at the congress which met in Philadelphia to form the Woman's Whisl League. No scores of special merit were made, hut the w hist horizon had w idened, and they came home with an idea of what whist na ant to the women of other cities. In November of the same year about twenty ladies, who had been prominently identified with the tournaments, met to organize a whist (duh for further development and study. Up to the present time tic club, known as the 1*. A. A. Ladies' Whist Club, although not a precocious infant, has grown in grace and strengthened, until the standard of play is beyond the most sanguine expecta- tions. All whist clubs of any stability seem to go through various Stages of development, and this one has seen its tips and downs, but the unjust spirit of criticism and narrow-minded bickerings seem to be wanting. The business meetings are so arranged that every voice can he heard, and it is realized that if the feelings of the individual are not stated at the proper time it is much better for her thereafter to hold her peace. Another thing is universally admitted, that those who do not work have no right to sit by and criticise : so, altogether, it is quite a model cduh. The membership is about thirty, and it has an excellent Constitution and By-Laws, and is a member of the W. W. L. To the skeptical men who say, "Oh, yes, woman's whist." they throw down the gauntlet without fear or trembling, simply asking for a chance to show what two years of hard study has done for them. In April, 1898, the whist club gave a large evening whist. which was an immense success. Over eighty tables were in play. Soon after the club sent a team of four to Philadelphia to the Woman's Whist Congress. One of the members was the secretary of the League, and Providence was well represented. The four, as a team, did not make a good score, but each member won -top'* in some one of the open contests, and six prizes came to this city. The club has been greatly aided in its upward struggle by the well-known whist teacher. Mrs. Wm. C. Buell, who is one of its most prominent members. Classes have been formed, and much of the good playing in the club is due to her tine instruction. The women of Boston have been studying whist likewise, and the Marlborough (dub offered a trophy to be contested for by teams of four women, the trophy to-be the property of the four who win twelve times. A team consisting of Mrs. W. C. Buell (captain), Mrs. C. R. Bucklin, Mrs. W. C. Tremper and Miss Greene, entered the contest and won the trophy from a Salem team. This they suc- 110 cessfully defended against the team from Waltham, but lost, the following week, to the four from the Cavendish Club of Boston. Before playing again the team is strengthened by practice and a chance to rest. The 48 boards required, for a match wear upon the strongest constitution, and it is not understood why such a demand was made by the club offering the trophy. Friday afternoon tournaments have been carried on for the benefit of those who enjoy whist but do not particularly care to study it. Some idea of the popularity of whist at the P. A. A. may be gained from the fact that an invitation tournament was planned for one Friday afternoon, and one hundred and thirty were present, without special preparations. Matinee whists are popular in the gymnasium, and as some four hundred can be comfortably seated, next season will doubtless witness many such attractive events, besides the regular tournaments.

(G) Renounce, Renounce in Error, Revoke. — A player "re- nounces " when he does not follow suit to the card led ; he " renounces in error " when, although holding one or more cards of the suit led, he plays a card of a different suit ; if such renounce in error is not lawfully corrected, it constitutes a "revoke."

Last summer a club player took charge of renovating and improving the billiard room. That lie did his work well is patent to all familiar with the old conditions and the new. The present light coloring on the walls and the added ceiling electric lights have made the room particularly cheerful. The players equally appreciate the air-cushion banks, cloths, etc., put in at the same time. The P. A. A. Billiard Room is the " crack" room of Providence. Billiards and pool have been more popular this winter than ever before, except, possibly, during the club's first season. If some of the former billiard stars — Congdon, Goff, Gardner and Shove were back in the club they would have no trouble in finding foemen worthy of their steel. Last autumn the club was invited to enter an Inter-City League, with clubs in Fall River, New Bedford and Taunton, to contest in match games of billiards, bowling, pool and whist. The games proved very interesting, not only to the contestants themselves, but to the club members generally. The P. A. A. led from start to finish, and succeeded in winning about two-thirds of their games, the Dartmouth Club of New Bedford being the nearest competitor. Pictures of the various teams representing the P. A. A. in these contests are shown in this book. Since then, local handicap tournaments in billiards and pool have been held, second in size and interest to none in the history of the club. In the former there were thirty-one entries, divided into three classes, the individual rating ranging from 125 to go in the first class, 75 in the second class, and from (30 to 50 in the third class. Dr. Crocker, W. II. Ellis and Dr. Middleton won out in the three classes, and in the play-off for prizes, Dr. Middleton won first prize and Mr. Ellis second. In the pool tournament, Herbert B. Rust came out first ami John H. Mills second in the first division, and Frederick E. Harmon won in the second division. Altogether, the billiard and pool department may be said to be in a most flourishing condition. J. M. SMITH, Chairman, Committee on Billiards ami Pool. AMATEUR RULES. Three-Ball Carom Game. — Rules Governing the Amateur Billiard Championship of the United States, as Played at the Racquet Court Club. The Game. — The Three-Ball Carom game is played with three balls — two white and one red. Balls, Where Spotted.— The spot at the head of the table is called the white spot, and the one at the foot of the table the red spot. The centre spot is only used when a ball forced off the table finds both red and white spots occupied ; therefore, should the white ball forced off the table have its spot occupied, it would be placed on the red spot, or on the white spot if it be the red ball that is forced off the table. First Shot. —In beginning the game, the red ball and one white are placed in their respective spots ; the other white remains in hand, and is placed near the white spot previous to the opening 127 r$n- -ntrt w Hmatcur POCOS PREMOS KODAKS CYCLONES RAY, Hie Retail $ $ Plates Papers Che Providence Pboto Supply Company is?

The player can take any position within six inches of the white spot on a line parallel, or nearly parallel, with the head cushion: but he must strike the red ball lirst before a count can be effected. Should he fail to score, his opponent makes the next play. RULES. Rule 1. — Stringing. — The game is begun by stringing. The player who brings his ball nearer the head cushion wins the choice of halls and lead ; however, should he touch either ball, or should his ball strike his opponent's ball while the latter is at rest, he loses choice and lead. The string is invalid and played over (1) when one ball has reached the lower cushion before the other has been put in motion: (2) when the balls, both being in motion, come in contact. Rule 2. — A Stroke. — A carom consists of bitting both balls with the cue ball; each carom will count for one for the player. Should the player fail to touch either ball with the cue ball it is a miss, his hand is out, and one is added to his adversary's score. It is foul, and no count can be made, (1) if a stroke is made except with the point of the cue; (2) if in making the stroke the player has less than one foot touching the floor ; (3) if he strikes while any hall is in motion; (4) if he places marks of any kind upon the cloth or cushions to guide his play. Rile S.—Ball off tin- T«bh>.— Any ball forced off the table is put back on its proper spot, the others remaining where they stop. However, should any ball be forced off after any player has counted, the count is good, the balls are spotted, and the player plays with his hall in hand. Should a ball forced off the table strike any object, and rebound back to the table or lodge on the cushion rail, it is counted as off the table. Rule 4. — Push Shot. — If the cue is not withdrawn from the cue ball before the cue ball comes in contact with the object ball, the shot is foul, the player loses his count on that shot, and his hand is out. Rule 5.— Balls Disturbed. — If the halls are disturbed through the medium of any agency other than the player himself, they must be replaced, and the player continues. Rule 6. — Balls Disturbed. — If in the act of playing, or after having played successfully, the player disturbs any ball other than his own, he loses his count on that shot, his hand is out, one point is added to his adversary's score, the ball disturbed is placed hack as near as possible in the position formerly occupied, the other lulls remaining where they stop. Rule 7. — Balls Disturbed. — Should a player touch bis own ball with a cue or otherwise previous to playing, it is foul, his hand is out, and he loses one count, to be added to his adversary's score, the balls remain where they stop, or are replaced as near as possible in their former position, at the option of his opponent. Rule 8. — Nearly Frozen. — When the cue ball is very near another, the player shall not play without giving the referee time to see that they do not touch. Rule 9. — Frozen. — When the cue ball is in contact with another, the player may, at his option, (1) spot the balls, and play with his ball in hand, or (2) play directly upon the free object ball, or (3) play at a cushion, and return upon either ball first. Should he fail to strike either ball, it is a miss (as per Rule 2). Rule 10. — Wrong Ball. — Playing with the wrong ball is foul. However, should the player using the wrong ball play more than one shot with it, he shall be entitled to finish his inning, as if he had played with his own ; as soon as his hand is out the white balls must change places. Rule 11. — Crotch. — The crotch is debarred. The object balls shall be considered crotched whenever the centres of both lie within a half inch square at either corner of the table. When the object 129 riNEST ...HRLE-TONE5... ..LINE ETCHINGS.. ...HIGH-CLASS DESIGNING... ...ELECTROTYPING... SPECIMEN HALF-TONE.

Failing in this, the player's hand is out, and his opponent goes on to play with the balls in position as left by the last player. Note.— The crotch is made by drawing a straight line, connecting a point on each cushion four and a half inches from the corner. Rulk 12. — Mistakes — Any one may call attention to a mistake in scoring, but no one has a right to suggest a stroke. Rule 13. — Referee. — The referee has entire control of the o-ame and conduct of the players and spectators. Umpires are not allowed ; the referee assumes their duties; players may appeal to him, but his decision is final. BALK-LINE BILLIARDS. Four lines are drawn on the cloth at a given distance (generally 8, 10, or 14 inches) from the cushions and parallel to them. These lines make, with the cushions, eight enclosed spaces, four squares and four rectangles. When the object balls are within any one of these eight spaces, two counts only will be allowed, except one or both of the object balls are forced out of it. Failing to do this, the player's hand is out, and his opponent goes on to play with the balls in position, as left by the last player. A ball on the line shall be considered within it, The rules for play are the same as given for the Three-Ball Game, Rule 11 excepted. CUSHION CAROMS. The game of Cushion Caroms is played by the rules given for the Three-Ball Game, with the following limitations: 1. To make a counting carom the striker's ball must go to a cushion before hitting the second object ball. 2. If the player's ball is frozen to a cushion it must be played against the cushion to make it a factor in the carom. 3. A doubtful cushion carom should be decided against the striker. RULES FOR C0NTINUO1S POOL. AS USED BY THE INTKU-CLUB LEAGUE. The Game. — The Game of Continuous Lull Pool is played with fifteen colored balls and one white hall. The latter is the cue ball, and the player plays with it from within the string at the head of the table, at the opening of the game, at any of the colored halls. and afterwards as he finds it on the table, his object to lie to pocket as many of the colored balls as he can. Before commencing the game, these fifteen balls are placed in the form of a triangle upon the table, a triangular frame being employed for this purpose to insure correctness. The string line occupies the same place on the table as it dues in the four-hall carom game. Each and every ball counts one point, and the game shall consist of any given number of points, to be mutually agreed upon. RULES FOR PLAY. Rule 1. — First Stroke. — The first stroke is determined by lot, — the winner having the option of playing first himself within the string at the head of the table, or obliging his opponent to play first from the same place. Rule 2. — The player who makes the opening stroke must play from within the string at the head of the table against the pyramid of object balls, and must drive at least one object ball or the cue hall to a cushion, or name the object ball he intends to pocket, and the pocket, and make the shot. Should he fail to do either, the balls are to be set up again, he forfeits one point from his score, and must continue to play until he drives at least one object ball or the cue ball to a cushion, or at least one object ball into a pocket, as above. Each failure causes him to forfeit one from his score. Rule 3. — Naming B\ 119 B. H. Gladding & Co. Silk and Dress Goods House.

In Duck Pins, the set-up and scoring is same as large pins, and the foul line is observed. An umpire is required. There is also a line drawn across the alley ten feet from the foul line, and any ball thrown over such line before touching the alley is a foul, with the same penalties attached. Three balls are rolled in this game. CANDLE PINS. This game is the same as Duck Pins, except that deadwood is left on, if so agreed between contestants beforehand. GAMES OTHER THAN TEN PINS. Cocked Hat. — This game is played with pins 7, 10 and 1 stand- ing. The rules of the St. Louis (Mo.) Cocked Hat League govern this game. The system of scoring is the same in this game as in Ten Pins, except that a strike counts three. There are no spares, ® ® s ® ® ® ® ® r.) ® and each pin knocked down equals 1. To compute the scores, follow the same rules as laid in Chapter VIL, only remember the difference in the value of the pins and strikes. Head Pin Game. — The pins are set up like this : There are nine pins spotted. The game is divided into 4 frames, in each of which a bowler is allowed 4 balls, two balls being rolled on each alley. The ohject is to knock down the head pin first ; when that is done, all pins falling in consequence are credited, but do not if the head pin is not struck, in which ease the ball is lost to the bowler. All pins are respotted alter each ball has heen rolled, and each pin counts 1 ; the maximum score is 144. The Glen Island. — Three pins are used, — 1, 2 and 8. (See cut of Head Pin game.) Should the head pin be the last of the pins knocked down, the king or center pin counts 2 and the rear pin 3 ; when the head ]>in is howled down, the center and last pins, when knocked down, have a value of 1. The head pin only has a value of 1. The dead wood is allowed to remain on the alleys, and there are not any restrictions. The possible score in the ten frames is 00. Nine Pins, Head Pin Out. — As its name implies, all pins remain up except pin No. 1. The number of frames and balls are the same as in Ten Pins. There are no penalties, neither is the dead wood removed. One pin only in each frame must be left standing or there is no count. The maximum score is 10. Nine LTp and Nine Down. — All pins up. The player tries to knock down but one pin with the first ball, and counts 1 if he does it ; with the remaining two balls he endeavors to knock down all the re- maining pins except one, which also counts 1. Twenty is the maxi- mum ; no penalties ; dead wood allowed. Ten frames, three balls. Nine, No More and No Less. — All pins up. Object, to knock down nine pins with three balls, either one, two, three, or all three ; if more or less than nine are knocked down, the frames count for nothing. The player having the largest number of nines in ten frames wins. No penalties ; dead wood not allowed ; maximum, 10. Four Back.— Pins 7, 8, 9, 10 standing. Three balls. Ten frames ; strikes and spares count as in Ten Pins. No penalties ; dead wood allowed. Each pin counts 1 ; maximum, 120. 161 ll 162 MR. JOHN E. DOLDT, Physical Director of P. A. A., i895'98. DR.

CQ' lffitt,pROVIDENCEjU H>4 GYMNASIUM OF PROVIDENCE ATHLETIQ ASSOCIATION. 165 P. A. A. ATHLETICS. • The P. A. A. Gymnasium is thoroughly equipped with apparatus, running track, pin-hockey pen. and every facility lor class work. It is used more in pro- portion than at any other club in the country, and fur- nishes the highest grade of class work, now being so generally adopted. It was started under Mr. J. C. Doldt, now deceased. He was suc- ceeded by his son. Mr. John E. Doldt, as Physical Director from 1895 to L898, resigning to go to the R. I. State Normal School. Dr. George C. Cutler has been the Director for the season of 1898-'99. Messrs. Stacy Betzler and August Barth have suc- cessively served as Assistant Instructors. The Gymnasium occupies half of the fourth and fifth floors to- gether, and a spiral staircase descends to the locker room, and thence down to the Swimming Pool. Its stage is fitted for extension, and has an outfit of scenery, adapting this part of the Club House to a theatre, with a floor for dancing. The Club's large entertainments are given here, with the principal athletic exhibitions and lectures, besides any contests for the All-Round Supremacy Cup, presented to the Association ly Mr. Walter A. Peck. The P. A. A. members are found in all sports, including, besides those especially described and THE GYMNASIUM. illustrated, golf, tennis, base ball, water polo, rowing, canoeing, yachting, shoot- ing, driving, and horse showing. THE GYMNASIUM FOR J898-'99. [By the Committee.] The policy of the Committee on Ath- letics has been to cater to the wants of a large majority of the club members, in- stead of to the few would-be athletic performers, by having taught a sys- tem of recreative exercises designed to produce for each member good health and ability to enjoy life's pleasures. The old system of monotonous set drills designed to develop this or that set of muscles, to the temporary detri- ment of others and permanent health, has been discarded in favor of pleasing exercises prepared and charted expressly for the Gymnasium by Mr. John E. Doldt, of the R.I. State Normal School. As a direct result of adopting this system last year, we had a larger regular attendance in the Gym- nasium than any athletic club in the country, — i. e., a larger percentage of members used the Gymnasium regularly. This system of exercise has been approved by the highest educational authorities in this State, and by many physicians who have pre- v scribed it for their patients. It obviates the use ^ lilii of apparatus, makes effective class instruction possible, and, timed to good piano music, affords each member an hour of recreation, in which, without realizing it, he gets vigorously exercised. The result is invigorating, yet resting. It is massage by exercise. Perspiration flows freely and the blood is forced scouring through every part of the body. It is scientific exercise ; yet the mem- ber thinks it is play and enjoys it as a pastime, the same as he would enjoy a good game of golf. This system is characterized by a feature which golf players iwill appreciate, i. e., a large amount of de- velopment work without realizing it ; i. e., a thick coating of sugar on that disagreeable pill, "work." The season of 1898 -'99 opened on October 3d, with nearly as large an attend- ance as at the opening of last season. The total attendance of all classes was nearly 4,500, showing conclusively that many members use the Gymnasium. The ladies' classes have not been as large as previously, due to circumstances over which the committee had no control; yet the average daily attendance at the eleven o'clock and five o'clock classes Abas been 20, and what may have been lost in number lias been made up in enthusiasm. The ladies' evening classes cease this year. The business men's five o'clock class has been the most popular men's class throughout the season, the same as during years past. Pin-Hockey, a game originated in our Gymnasium, has steadily increased in popu- -*" — "*^* round-development-game yet devised. As many as thirty- five business men have remained after the class hour to play this game. The enthusiasm has been steadily in- creasing. In fact, it became necessary to revise the rules of the game in order to keep pace with new combination plays originated by different teams. These rules, pub- lished herewith, assure each member an equal oppor- tunity, whether he be a rugged athlete or a frail, new- recruit to the Gymnasium. Pin-Hockey is being adopted by sev- eral athletic clubs, Y.M.C.A.'s and colleges, and bids fair to become a national game, supplanting basket-ball. It is much less dangerous and more interesting, as each player is required to take an active part in both offensive and defensive playing, at least two or three times a minute through- out the game. Four Pin-Hockey teams have been organized by the members of the business men's five o'clock class, and a very interesting series of matched games has been the result. Some of the best players were on each team, so that the contests were even and exciting. All matched games are played on Saturday evenings at 8 o'clock. There has been an enthusiastic attendance of both women and men at each game, and the series has been a success. The teams were made up as follows : No. 1— J. E. Doldt (Captain), J. W. Hawkins, M. D., P. D. Cook, J. F. Lennon, M. D. No. 2— E. F. Carroll, M. 1). (Cap- tain), Eugene Manning, Allie Pierce, P. H. 16^ Keefe, M. D. No. 3— II. II. Bedell (Captain), C.N. Warner, Carl Eschle, W. R.

Mr. Frank Herrick is Instructor of Wrestling. As a professional wrestler he lias demonstrated winning ability. Dr. Cutler lias instructed in fencing. HERBERT I',. FLLIS, Of Committee on Athletics. LBy the Physical Director.] The gymnasium season of 1898- ,( J9 at the P. A. A. began on Monday, October 3. As the work of the previous season had seemed so satisfactory to the majority con- cerned, il was decided to follow more or less closely the same lines this year, which has heeii done. I'he plan has been to otter a progressive and intelligently ordered series of free movements, together with light calisthenics, giving, on the one hand, all the variety desirable, while striving to avoid offering the shadow for the substance. It is certainly true that excessive variety of movements, with their consequently im- pelled performance, must fail of producing equally good results with simpler evolutions, persistently and perfectly performed. Some use has heen made of the various pieces of apparatus in the < i\ mnasium. To paraphrase the expression of a famous man, while we do not flatter ourselves that we have pleased all the members all the time by our methods, we feel that perhaps we have given all the classes what they wish some of the time, and some of the members all the time what they were able to consider valuable work. As the tendency of physical exercise is to cause individuals of different builds and weights to approxi- mate one type, in most instances the fat man becomes thinner and the light man heavy. Our friends can, most of them, trace one of these changes in themselves. Most of those in attendance have dis- played commendable energy and courage in their efforts in the Gymnasium. Pin- Hockey still continues in great favor, and is increasing in the number of its devotees. It is played by members of all the classes. There has been carried on during the winter an interesting pin- hockey tournament among the members of the Association, with occasional games introducing outsiders. About the middle of the season we placed in the Gymnasium a canvas screen, into which golf balls might be played, and have organ- ized a driving business with some of the golfers. The number of people availing themselves of the privileges of the Gymnasium has been fair, and we know that those who have participated in its daily routine are conscious that they are better for it, and we hope that in the future an increasing percentage of club members may come to a realizing sense of the benefit to be de- rived from the course offered in this department of their house. G. W. CUTLER, M. 1)., Physical Director. 168 II PIN -HOCKEY." Wicket Polo, or "Pin-Hockey," was first brought out by Mr. J. E. Doldt, at Orange, N. J., and the first game was played at the Orange Athletic Club, on September 4, 1804. It has been much improved since being introduced at the Providence Athletic Association. The chief value of Wicket Polo is in the even distribution of function — each man has precisely the same duties of defense and offense—his defense extends to his partners pins when they are threatened, and his offense extends completely around the circle. His value as player is determined at the end of the game by the dif- ference between his successful offense and his defense. Should he lose more than he makes, he is minus ; should he gain more than he loses, he is plus and lias played a valuable game. Very often a strong offensive player is valueless to a team because of his weak defense. Each player being endowed with the same functions, the mental and physical differences of the players are easily appreciable. In these days of progress and investigation it has been hinted that the nervous, not the muscular, system is to be the field for the coming physical culturist ; be that as it may, the director who can combine physical work with mental diversion, accomplishes better results for the business man than he who recognizes the man by his physical needs only. The recreative element will be an essential one in the exercises of the future, and the physical culturist will have exercises of " diversion " in cases of overtaxed nervous systems. The mental hygiene so desirable will consist in a great part of recre- ative games requiring the further practice of both the body and mind. Localism of work will disappear, for the same results may be obtained by exercises in the form of games. Such games should, as has been suo-aested, have consistent lines of defense and offense, and should be so constructed that they may be played by a large or small number. Most of the standard games of to-day have these principles strikingly apparent, while in a few of the games these elements exist, but must be searched for. J. E. DOLDT. PIN - HOCKEY.— OFFICIAL RULES.

A. -1 r» r- 12 BOXING; OR, THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE. Boxing, as an art, is of great antiquity. Homer mentions Polydeuces as being "good with bis fists." Polydeuces' name is inseparably connected, in the traditions both of Greece and Rome, with the art and practice of boxing. Apollo, besides bis skill with the bow, was a good god with his fists. Sicily was for a time the headquarters of the noble art of self-defense, and Eryn, one of her kings, Lorded it over the island, but at last met his match at the hands of Hercules. The father of actual professional boxing was Figg, whose portrait was painted by Hogarth. His date is 1719, and he appears to have reigned eleven years, ami from that time we have always had a man recognized as the champion pugilist. Boxing exercises every muscle in the human body, both internal and external. It also exercises the brain, eyes, lungs and nerves. It teaches a man to be self-reliant, quick to discern, think and act, and also to keep control over his temper under adverse circumstances. Members of the I'. A. A. have the benefit of a room set apart especially for boxing, so that the lessons and practice are strictly private, if so desired, and can be taken at any hour by appointment.

Besides the commodious locker-room baths on the third floor, with their complete arrangements, including various shower and needle 1 »at lis. the Association possesses ample Turkish bath facili- ties located on the lirst floor and basement at the rear part of the building. The barbershop (and hoot polishing) is used much more than commonly in a club, owing to the excellent service. A por- tion is curtained off lor ladies* use, and a woman attendant is present on Tuesdays and Frida\ S. Entrance to the Turkish baths is had through the barbershop, excepl that ladies on ladies' days — Tuesdays and Fridays — have a separate entrance of their own. There are excellent dressing rooms with Scotch carpeting and handy toilet conveniences. The club service also extends to this department, except in the pool. The dome, or large, dry hot-air room, is 20 feet in diameter and '■'<" feet high; the temperature is maintained at about 135 degrees, and in the two small warmer chambers thai open out of it, at about 165 and 1st) degrees respectively. There are two entrances to the d <■• and from it are reached the Russian, or steam room (about llo degrees Fahrenheit), and the rubbing room with a shower and needle hath, and marble slahs on which the bather is carefully man- ipulated by the expert attendants. A Roman, or oil bath, is also given here as an extra service, as well as a salt rub, the latter being particularly beneficial. The drying room is 1.", by 35 feet, finished in a soft olive green 'hit; it contains comfortable couches, fitted in summer with fly canopies. An electric fan operates here in warm weather, as well as in the dressing rooms, and when snugly stretched out it is very difficult for one not to drop off into a refreshing nap. The final rub-down in alcohol is given in this room, where none are allowed except persons taking an alcohol rub or the Turkish bathers. Any- thing from the restaurant can be had here (except that waiter service is not provided). The clear Swimming Pool is an inviting retreat, particularly on torrid days. It measures 20 by 40 feet, with a depth of four feet at one end, sloping to eight at the other. The sides are built of enamel brick and the floor of tessellated marble. It is fitted with a spraying pipe to continually carry off the surface water, a spring- board for diving, ladders to mount from the pool, overhead travelling rings, and a trolley for swimming lessons. Life preservers and a boat hook are always kept at hand. Everyone is obliged to use the shower before entering the pool, although the artesian water is always changed so as to be clean, and its temperature is kept at about 78 degrees. A gallery admits spectators upon particular occasions, although no visitors generally are allowed after eleven o'clock in the morning. Children have special hours, and instruc- tion can be given all in swimming. Water Polo is played considerably, and one of the most unique and interesting occasions in the club house was an aquatic exhibition in this department. HARRY C. CURTIS, Chairman Committee on Baths. 186 ABOUT TURKISH BATHS. The Turkish hath of the present time is not precisely the hath of the luxurious Orientals, for it has heen modified and changed in various ways to meet the needs of our modern life of husy activity. It is, however, essentially a thermal hath, and gives a more perfect cleansing of the body, together with a more enduring stimulation, than is obtained by any other method of bathing. It is well known that free perspiration is beneficial, as it re- moves waste materials from the skin, and by calling the blood to the skin, increases its nutrition. Now, in the Turkish bath there is a thorough cleansing process, and the body is relieved of clogging particles which have the same influence on its tissues that dust has on a well oiled machine. These particles are the result of the wear and tear of our e very-day lives — dried and worn out parts of the skin, atmospheric dust, minute fibres from the clothing, etc., and the ordinary cleansing baths are not sufficient to remove them. Nor would the Turkish bath do this were it not for the massage which is so thoroughly administered by the skilled attendants. Under the vigorous manipulation of the masseurs the skin and underlying muscles are rubbed and kneaded and made to give up their sluggish blood, thus taking away their worn out materials and bringing fresh nutriment to them. Everyone who has ever taken a Turkish bath must have ex- perienced the pleasant stimulation that comes to the entire system. Both the high temperature and the massage quicken the action of the heart, spurring it to an unwonted but healthful activity. In this way the circulation of the blood is accelerated and the nutrition of the entire body is helped. Then, too, there is a great advantage gained in that the blood becomes more evenly distributed through the body, thus relieving the congestion of internal organs and sup- plying them with properly a-rated blood. Upon the blood itself there is wrought a most beneficial change, for it is relieved of its burden of refuse, becomes more thoroughly aerated in the lungs, and is thus made purer. The state of extreme perspiration is reached by gradual increase in temperature, so there is no shock to the system, and one be- comes slowly accustomed to changes which would be both unpleasant and disastrous if suddenly induced. In the cooling off stage of the bath we have a gradual subsi- dence of the extreme stimulation, and the tonic invigorating reaction which is the chief object of the Turkish bath. There is now a slow return to the former state, but the bather feels a vigor and freshness which he did not have before. Not only is the body cleansed of many impurities and the circulation of the blood regulated and im- proved, but the nervous system has received a most helpful tonic influence from the process. Friction and heat are very vigorous stimulants to the nerves, and in this bath the cutaneous nerves (which are well said to be the regulators of the body), have had an abundance of what might be called a natural stimulation, and the reaction is long lasting. It would be too long a story to enumerate the maladies for which physicians prescribe Turkish baths. But conspicuous among them are obesity, gout, rheumatism, indigestion and its many conse- quences, insomnia, headache and kidney disorders. For those in health, the daily cold bath with occasional cleansing and Turkish baths, confers an immunity from colds and a muscular and nervous tone which can hardly be overvalued. Many celebrated physicians cure their patients without drugs by the careful regulation of the diet and use of baths, with gymnastics, and the Turkish bath lias their highest endorsement. W.

When the Gymnasium season begins to wane as the fine spring weather comes along, and the members are seeking for outdoor sports and exercise, the Committee on Cycling arranges many very pleasant inns. In the past two seasons these runs have covered nearly all the popular roads and places of interest in this State, and several very pleasant trips have been taken to Boston, by rail to Forest Hills, and then through the Park system and Fens, covering ahoiit twenty-five miles over the best roads in America. These rides usually brought on a ravenous appetite when one of the well-known hotels of Boston was reached, and a good dinner and cigar were all the more enjoyed. Probably the run made from Kings- ton to Matunuck Beach and back to Kingston by way of the beautiful towns of Wakefield and Peacedale, was best rememhered by the ten men who participated, from the very hospitable manner in which they were treated at a farmhouse occupied by a family named Champlin. It was late in September, and all attempts made at Matunuck Beach to gel something to eat having failed, they pushed on towards Wakefield, lacking that good humor and spirit displayed on the run down, as now they saw no prospect of anything to eat for eight miles more. < )n reaching this farmhouse, one member refused to ride another foot until he had at least an apple. This made a good im- pression, it seems, for Mrs. Champlin, after hearing the predicament, soon spread the lawn, picnic fashion, with two half-gallon pitchers of milk, two three-decker cocoanut cakes, mo- lasses cookies, apples, and a few other minor things. The party must have eaten like rough riders, hut imagine their surprise when informed that the hostess was only too glad to entertain them, and positively refused to take anything, due only way to compen- sate was to press some money in the little boy's hand who came to open the gates. The cyclists all came to the con- clusion that the South County had some good old New England hospitality yet. The May -Day run in 1898, of which a picture is given, drew a goodl} r party to East Greenwich, and was thoroughly enjoyed. All know the beneficial effects of cycling without rehearsal. But if every member wishes most pleasantly to enjoy them, then simply enroll himself (or herself) in the Triangle Cycle Club of the P. A. A., and go where the silent steed, beneath favoring skies, takes him. FRANK A. BUCKHOUT, Chairman Committee on Cycling. 192 CYCLE ROOM, WEYBOSSET STREET. 193 CYCLING RULES. Racing. — Cycle racing is at present under the official control of the League of American Wheelmen, although track promoters, under the name of the National Cycling Association, carry it on as well. The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States is in alliance with the L. A. W., and the latter conducts cycle racing, and grants sanction through its Racing Board, under its established rules and officials. Applications for sanctions should be made to the L. A. W. Racing Board, which also re- quires the registration of all riders. Touring. — A Touring Bureau has been established by the National Touring (' nittee of the L. A. W., with headquarters at ")30 Atlantic avenue, Boston. Its purpose is to collect, compile and disseminate touring information for the benefit of League members. Information concerning routes, condition of roads, hotels and stopping-places, and all other data of value to cycle tourists, is solicited by the committee. Such information as can be furnished is for League members only. It is valuable in outlining unfamiliar trips. Until the bureau accumulates the necessary data, replies to inquiries will, in some instances, be necessarily delayed, but the committee to make its service as prompt and efficient as possible. Information of general interest will be published by mittee in the Touring Department of the L. A. W. Bulle time to time. Information and inquiries should be addressed to Aldrich, Chairman National Touring Committee, 530 avenue, Boston, Mass. In making inquiries of the Touring Department, members must give League number and state Division to which they belong, and enclose 2-cent stamp, or inquiries will not be answered. It must also be remembered that the department will not furnish information which can be found in the road-book of the inquirers own Division. " Cycling in Europe," by F. A.

MANUFACTURERS OF The Kendall Patent Cushion Carriage Tires (PATENTED NOV. 8, 1898.) A Rubber Tire is applied to a carriage to obtain greater pleasure while riding ; also to prolong the life of a TH FODV carriage. Then the easier and more elastic a Rubber Tire is, then the nearer you reach the desired effect. Ill CvK i ^nd t0 g a j n this you must have a Cushion Tire, also applied so the rubber is in its natural state, so when pressure is brought on it, the rubber is allowed to expand at the sides and gain the full benefit of the elastic qualities of Rubber, and, with the aid of the cushion, you have gained all that is required of a Rubber Tire, and is equal to a Pneumatic, and will not puncture. No Solid Rubber Tire, placed in a channel destroying the side expansion, can reach this effect, and is not to be compared with a Kendall Patent Cushion Tire for riding qualities.

A side may consist of one or more persons. Ri ling of the l.s.i;. A. — Two sides of single players constitute a match called a " Single." Two sides of two players each constitute a " Foursome," ami the players on either side arc called " Partners." Rule -. —The game consists in each side playing a ball from a tec into a hole by successive strokes, and the hole is won by the side holing its ball in the fewest strokes, except as otherwise pro- vided in the littles. If two sides hole out in the same number of strokes, the hole is halved. \U ling ofthe I'. S. G. A. — " Match Play "' is decided by the number of holes won. ''Medal Play" is decided by the aggregate number of strokes. Unless otherwise stated, a match shall consist of the play of the game over eighteen holes of the links.

In .Match Play the player plays against an " opponent," and opponents -£"$.• have certain privileges and responsibili- t ies defined by the Rules. In Medal Play and Bogey Compe- titions the players arc all "competitors," and have special privileges (Medal Rules 5, 6, 7 and 8) and a distinct responsi- bility (Medal Rule 4). " Col. Bogey " is an imaginary opponent against whose arbitrary score each player plays by holes; otherwise Rogey Competitions are governed by Medal Play rules, except that the player loses a hole: — When a ball is struck twice, or is stopped by the player or his caddy or clubs; j When a hall is lost; When a hall is not played wherever it lies, except as provided for in Rules 17 and 21. Rule 3. — The teeing ground shall -be indicated by two marks placed in a line at right angles to the course, and the players shall not tee in front of, nor on either side of these marks, nor more than two club lengths behind them. A ball played from outside the limits of the teeing ground, as thus defined may be recalled by the oppo- site side. The hole shall be four and one-quarter inches in diameter and at least four inches deep. Ruling of the U. S. G. A. — The penalty for playing the hall outside the limits, as thus defined, shall he: — In Match Play— the ball may be recalled by the opposite side (no stroke being counted for the misplay).

The option of recalling-a ball is in all cases forfeited unless exercised at once before another stroke has been played. Rule 4. — The ball must be fairly struck at and not pushed, scraped nor spooned, under penalty of the loss of the hole. i>0<) Any movement of the club which is intended to strike the ball is a stroke. Ruling of the U. S. ('•. A. — Penalty for breach of this rule: — In Match Play — loss of the hole. In Medal Play — disqualification. Rile 5. — The game commences by each side playing a ball from the first teeing ground.

Rule 7. — The side winning a hole shall lead in starting for the next hole, and may recall the opponent's stroke should lie play out of order. This privilege is called the "Honour." On starting for a new match the winner of the long match in the previous round is entitled to the honour. Should the first match have been halved, the winner of the last hole gained is entitled to the honour. Riling ok the U. S. G. A. — In Match Play — the stroke recalled is not counted. In Medal Play — the stroke may not be recalled. Rule 8. — One round of the links, generally eighteen holes, is a match, unless otherwise agreed upon. The match is won by theside which gets more holes ahead than there remain holes to he played, or by the side winning the last hole when the match was all even at the second last hole. If both sides have won the same number, it is a halved match. Piling of the U. S. <<. A. — In competitions: In Match Play, when two competitors have halved their match, they shall continue playing hole ! > \ hole till one or the other shall have won a hole, which shall determine the winner of the match. Should the Match Play Competition be ;i handicap, the competitors must decide the tie by playing either one hole, three or five more holes, according to the manner in which the handicap ceded falls upon certain holes so as to make the game a fairly proportionate representation of the round. In Medal Play, where two or more competitors are tied, the winner shall lie determined by another round of the course: except that By-Laws 15 and 10 of the United States Golf Association provide that, in case of ties for the sixteenth place in the Amateur Championship medal rounds, or the eighth place in the Women's Championship medal rounds, respectively, the contestants so tied shall continue to play until one or the other shall have gained a lead by strokes, the hole or holes to be played out.
