The rules have undergone a complete revision, and several changes in the method of play have been adopted, with a view of increasing the science of the game and rendering the players less liable to injury. The game as played under these rules bears a strong resemblance to football. There are eleven men on each side, and the team is organized very much the same as in foot-ball. Thus far the revival is said to be due to aristocratic influences,-that is to say, the clubs formed have been composed of men of high social standing, a fact which of itself tends to give the game prestige in England.
