The
Game.
The
game
consists
in
striking
the
balls
from
the
starting
peg
through
the
hoops
to
the
peg
at
the
opposite
extremity.
The
balls
are
then
driven
back
again
to
the
starting
peg.
The
game
may
be
played
by
any
number
of
persons
not
exceeding
eight.
A
larger
number
renders
the
game
tedious.
The
best
number
is
four.
If
two
only
piay,
each
player
may
take
two
balls,
and
when
as
many
as
eight
play,
there
should
be
two
sides
or
sets.
Each
player
takes
a
mallet,
ball,
and
croquet
clip
of
the
same
colour
or
number,
the
clip
being
used
to
indicate
the
hoop
at
which,
in
his
turn,
he
aims.
The
division
into
sides,
choice
of
balls,
mallets,
&c.,
is
determined
by
the
players
among
themselves.

Laws
of
Croquet.
In
this
game,
as
with
many
other
sports
when
first
established,
there
were
differences
of
opinion
on
certain
points
of
practice.
In
1870,
however,
at
a
conference
of
Croquet
players,
the
following
rules
were
settled
and
adopted.
They
are
now
accepted
by
all
players.
i.
There
shall
be
no
restriction
to
the
number,
weight,
size,
shape,
or
material
of
the
mallets:
nor
as
to
the
attitude
or
position
of
the
striker.
ii.
The
players
shall
toss
for
choice
of
lead
and
of
balls:
and
a
succession
of
games
shall
take
the
lead
alternately
and
keep
the
same
balls.
iii.
In
commencing,
each
ball
shall
be
placed
at
one
foot
from
the
first
hoop
in
a
direct
line
between
the
pegs;
and
a
ball
having
been
struck
is
at
once
in
play,
and
croquetable
whether
it
shall
have
made
the
first
hoop
or
not.
