Gofky
AN OUTDOOR GAME
FOR TWO OR MORE PLAYERS
GOLF BILLARDS & CROQUET
FOR GARDEN, LAWN OR PARK.
This game meets the demand for an outdoor game which, whilst not requiring a large area for play, possesses in a marked degree the qualities which make Golf, Croquet and Billiards so popular. Two or more can play, and the more players the greater the chance to exercise the skill and tactics the game calls for to win it outright. It preserves the attractions of Golf so far as putting, short drives, stymies and bunkers, &c., are concerned; the nine hole game with four playing occupying about two hours with expert players.
No. 2 Set.—5 Association Gofky jacks, made from selected Lignum Vitæ, highly polished, with inset bone numbers, 2 Association cast-iron aluminium-painted holes, 2 numbered golf balls, packed in strong square iron-bound and battened case with handle on top 25/0.

KITES.
Instructions for Flying “BrooKite” Kites:—if the Operator is standing in a place sheltered from the wind, it may be necessary to send the Assistant down wind with instructions to hold the Kite over his head. The Operator then pulls the line, when the Kite will soar at once. No tails are required to balance the “BrooKite,” which is scientifically constructed, and such fixings are therefore not necessary. Should the Operator be standing in an open space, the Kite will leave the hand immediately it receives the full force of the wind. Always let out as much line as possible, and allow the Kite to float away from the hand. Then at once pull the line smartly, and the Kite will immediately soar overhead and well into the upper and steadier wind currents.
Instructions for adapting Kites to Light and Heavy Winds.—Light Winds: Kites are sent out already adjusted to fly in light breezes. Heavy Winds: Shorten bottom bridle cords by tying a loop knot in same.
