There was formerly no croanet ground at Biarritz, but since the King took to going there annually a lawn has been set apart for him adjoining the go ground and no one else uses it during certain hours of the day, The King plays remarkably well and adopts the complicated modern croquet, so unlike the game which was looked upon as only suitable for curates and old malde.
