Immorality of Croquet


It is not long before every honorable feeling, every dictate of morality has been obliterated. The hoop is the gaping jaw of Hades...It is well if the enthusiasm of the clergy and laity were enlisted for suppressing the immoral practice of croquet.

-Living Age, 1898
As each player goes through the first hoop, as he undergoes a metamorphosis ...The male antagonist becomes a creature too vile for language, the decency of womanhood has disappeared by the third hoop."
Living Age, 1898


If you are visiting northern New Mexico and wish to play,
