A Game for Ladies : A Skittles Competition in Berlin. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, August 18th, 1900," showing a Drawing by F. H. Townsend, from a Sketch by E. Hosang, for "A New Game for Ladies :  A Skittles Competition in Berlin."

In Germany skittles - or kegeln, as the game is termed - is a very popular sport, and every village boasts its skittles club.  In Berlin the clubs hold an annual competition amongst themselves, and valuable prizes are awarded to the winners.  A novelty has lately been introduced in the form of a competition for lady players, the prizes including gold watches, bracelets, and brooches.  Many of the ladies play remarkably well, and their scores compare favourably with those of the men competitors.

Condition is Very Good.
