SPORT IN AMERICA.

Before the civil war we Americans
bail few outdoor pastimes. There was
some fox bunting in the south, some
shooting In tlie north. There was con
siderable fishing. very little angling.
Tennis mid golf were unknown to us.
Croquet was decorously played. I »riv
ing nud riding were restricted to the
few who could afford the time and ex
pense. One or two «Ticket elevens
struggled for existence. There were
no bicycles, no motors, of course, only
an absurd velocipede or two. Extreme
youth “flew kites," played marbles and
wblp|»ed tops. Among their elders,
however, there was a mincing, artitl
clal attitude toward all outdoor sport
which found Its fullest expression in a
quadrille, at croquet or a sentimental
sailing expedition under the calmest
of skies.
