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
