word "kloot." And "klool-shooting" or "ice. bowling" (eis-bosseln) is still the national game of Friesland (whence came our Saxon ancestors),

and alotoa less extent of Holstein (whence came

the Angles). A, somewhat similar ancient game called "Tridde" obtains along the Baltic chast, and its pronunciation also is very similar. The main difference in that "kloots" is played with a wooden ball instead of an iron ring, and in the winter.only, the reason for the choice of this season being partly that the ball may roll farther on the frozen pasture Jands, A minor difference is that there is no-mark in "kloots. But there was no roark originally in quoits, and as the word itself is still sometimes applied to curling stones in Scotland, it may also be assumed that a ball may have been originally employed in England. Of course there was no iron in Friesland, and even if the game really

owed its origin from the discus throwing of the Romans the necessity of dispensing with a valu abis material like iron would have been suff. cient to employ a hard wooden ball (it is made of apple wood, lignum vila"-"pocked-hols"is the German word) in lieu of the "discus." Like quoits, the game is played with an underhand throw, and sides are formed-asually village againit village. What is very unusual in Ger many is that stakes are played for, and a good deal of betting goes on-all of which completes the parallel. There are many instances of quarrels and even.bloodshed over the stakes... The" kient" is a ball the size of a small orange, and is weighted with lead. A curved single plank stage is used for the throw-off, and the player invariably strips to his stockings- wearing no boots and but a jersey and knick- ers--in order that he may avoid a slip in the short run which he takes. Sometimes be -whitia his arm round and, round like a sling, though thin it now considered bad form. Eighty metres is considered a first-class throw the shots of each side baing pooled together and the highest total winning.

Professor, Reimunt, of Jever, is an authority on the history of the game, and has written some accounts of historical episodes connected with it in the periodical "Der Freise." He tails us that in 1755 a brother of the Empress Catherine of Russia (then lord of Jever) ineffec- tually prohibited the game altogether in the remarkable ground that it did not form one of Olympian games of the Greeks! Really, the reason of the prohibition was the quarrolling and fighting over the stakes that occurred. On one occasion, King George of England was appealed to as King of Hanover. The last not happened as late an 1835,

Professor, Deiminn bas unearthed a medi- wral cade of rules of the game, and it is contain that is origin is lost in Cantiquity...

All the technical terms employed are in the ancient plait Duich a language decidedly more akin to English then to modern German. The game is also played in Sast Friesland, in Hofland, Greatcontests are invailably attended by crowds of Dutch visitors, and are sometimes honoured by the presence of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg ----Puiti Mali Ganjdley AS
