OLD WALDORF-ASTORIA BAR BOOK
Named after a game said to have originated in Eng–
land, but which was installed in the big room next to the
Old Waldorf Bar in its early days. Bar habitues learned
to play it, but sometimes experienced difficulty in hitting
the right ball, claiming three or four were going over
the net at one time, instead of one.
POET'S DREAM One-third Benedictine
One-third French Vermouth
One-third dry Gin
Lemon Peel squeezed on top
POLO
One-fourth Lemon Juice
One-fourth Orange Juice
One-half Rum
Not after Marco, the adventurer, but after the game
which, during the "Nineties," was little known except to
the fashionable. That was before Meadowbrook had
hurled its young men and its wealth into a comparative
void in our National outdoor life.
