Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boy's Book of Sports and Games: Containing Rules and Directions
This game is played by any number of persons standing apart from each other, and requires two wands, and a hoop covered with leather, which may be procured at any toy shop. The wands are held firmly in each hand, and the hoop is placed on them. The wands must then be crossed, and sharply drawn asunder, trying to drive the hoop, so that another with whom you are playing may catch it.
