I’ve always found myself fascinated by turn of the century opulence and Victorian high times. The old part of Newport, Rhode Island is a perfect place to find the wealthy pursing fun.

The players, the ladies in particular, must adhere to the dress codes of the times despite the rigors of the game and the sultry summer heat.
