104. Croquet And Lawn Tennis
     croquet Lawn Tennis. More active than croquet or archery (which enjoyed a brief popularity in the 1870’s), tennis also appealed to men.  
     http://www.victorianstation.com/leisurecroquet.htm
     
     Extractions: Croquet was introduced in England in 1856 and was probably brought to America in the early 1860’s. It was considered particularly suitable for women since it required considerable skills but not too much strength or technique. (Women were allegedly deficient in both). Although croquet was never popular men’s game, it had both social and economic advantages: men and women could play together, and it required little equipment and no special clothing. Lawn tennis was another popular sport for middle-class women. At first proper tennis form entailed patting the ball back and forth, without keeping score, but, according to both critics and proponents, players soon were caught up in the competitive spirit of the game, finding it an excellent method of exercise and a useful mental and physical outlet. More active than croquet or archery (which enjoyed a brief popularity in the 1870’s), tennis also appealed to men. By the 1880’s it had become the rage in fashionable summer resorts, and magazines devoted space to the proper attire to wear while playing. Goodie’s recommended "Tuxedo" suits, knitted of fine wool yarn with trim in a contrasting color, for tennis because they were both comfortable and durable.

     Extractions: Some information about the game of croquet. Oxford University site Or perhaps you're an intermediate player and would like to try your hand at our question and answer page Games in which a ball had to be knocked around a course of hoops or obstacles with a mallet were popular in seventeenth and eighteenth century France. One of them, "Paille Maille", was introduced to London, where it was played in open ground near St. James's Palace - later becoming known as Pall Mall. Croquet became the sports craze of Victorian England with National Championships held at Wimbledon before the lawns there were transformed into the tennis courts of today. Despite its genteel history, croquet is by no means simply the sporting diversion at vicarage garden parties which it is often portrayed as being. Clubs exist in every part of Britain and in many countries overseas. Both national teams and individuals compete at a variety of matches and tournaments every year. Nowadays, it is more popular than it has ever been since its introduction last century and it continues to be a fast-growing sport.

The homestead remains at the forest’s edge, softened and scented by cottage gardens and framed by old trees. Mellowed by the passage of time, restored with meticulous care, and enhanced by modern services, Brooklands is now recognised around the world as one of New Zealand’s most exclusive and charming country retreats.

For the history of croquet in the movies, see Croquet in Celluloid It's Not a Pretty Picture . For a lengthy historical narrative, see The Wicket Way . For the history of championships, see Tony Hinchliffe's Sports Facts Chronology BC Romans play Paganica where they walked across fields and hit a small leather ball with a curved stick and aimed to strike certain trees. The winner was the person who hit all the trees in the fewest possible strokes. This sport developed in two ways. In country areas where there was adequate space, courses were laid out and the target became a hole. Thus the game of golf evolved. In towns where space was limited, the game of Paille-Maille (ball-mallet) became popular. In this game, a box-wood ball, a foot in circumference, was played down an alley, passing through a number of arches or hoops on the way. The winner was the person achieving this in the fewest hits. 1300's Peasants from southern France play Paille-Maille (ball-mallet) where they hit balls with shepherd crooks through bent willow branches.
