Hockey in England.

A revival of the old game of Hockey has taken place during the past winter in England, and it has regained considerable of its former popularity. Hockey clubs are being organized throughout the country. 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.
