Amongst these gifts were those presented by the actogenarian Marshal Sung Ch'ing (whose Corps composes a portion of the Imperial, guards accompanying the Court), consisting of a superb full dinner service of pure solid silver,

PING PONG'S RIVAL -We are all to go wild this winter over "strokelet" as we did last year about "ping-pong." Strokelet is a composite game. It is played on a green baize board which is divided into four quarters or "courts." At the point of each court most remote from the centre of the board is a billiard pocket. The game is played with small cues headed by a largish knob and a ball like a tiny billiard ball. There are four players. Each plays in turn, and, striking the ball with the knobby end of the cue, tries to spear into an opposition pocket. If the stroke succeeds the victim marks one up, which counts against him. The peculiarity of this game, which divides it from ping-pong, billiards, tennis, etc., and allies it to the donkey race, is that the player who scores most loses the game.- Taller.
