BROWN, 'subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing, respectively, at Wolverhampton, in the countyof Stafford, England, and Syston, in the county of Leicester,
' England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements Relating to the Construction of Promenades and Playing-Courts, of which the following is a speciication.
Our invention relates principally -to the l constructionof playing courts for the games of lawn tennis, tennis, racket, badminton, bowls, lfives and the like, but is also applicable to the construction of promenades generally such for example as play grounds,
- garden paths, athletic and drillinggrounds,
and in fact to any open spaces where a irm set and practically dustless surface for foot passengers is desired.
The accompanying drawing is a sectional view, near one edge, of a playing court constructed according to our invention.
AccordingV to our invention theA ground or site on which the promenade or the like is to be constructed is, if the existing conformation of the site renders it necessary, suitably eXcavated or leveled. The bottom level ofthe site, in the event of the soil being of a heavy nature is drained by a system of main and branch drain pipes,`or by means of a layer of clinkers. Such drainage is however not required where the soil or sub-soil is of a naturally open or porous character, such for example as sand orgravel.
The bottom layer a of material which we employ consists of unscreened ashes of a thickness of about three inches. This is well rolledand on the top of the same we put a layer ofone and a half inches of screened ashes obtained by passing the said ashes over a screen of a half to three quarter inch mesh. IThis layer is also well rolled and the surface is afterward raked. On
this prepared ash surface we place a layer c of three quarters of an inch or thereabout i of burnt and screned brick earth, prefer ably burnt boulder clay and marl 1n combination, the said burnt brick earth being lSpecification of Letters Patent. v Application 1ed=February 18,1814.

cent substance and is left for some'hours,
after which it is well lwatered and again rolled. Or `the material may be watered with a solution of the deliquescent substance -V to be used. Thefinal-treatment consists in dusting the surface obtained with fine burnt brick earth the material employed being preferably that blown by a fan through a v screen ofone sixteenth of an inch mesh.
The surface of burnt brick earth vand cal-` cium chlorid is indicated in the drawing by the reference character d. From siX to ten dressings of the fine powdered burntbrick earth are given the surface being thoroughly watered and well rolled after each dressing and a dressing of calcium chlorid'or other deliquescent substance may be employed after or with one or more of the dressings of i p line burnt brick earth. p;
By the process hereinbefore described a very firm and smoothl surface is obtained which can be repaired or renewed from time to time by applying a dressing of the fine `powdered burnt brick earth the renewed or repaired surface being sprinkled with the powdered deliquescent substance and afterward watered and rolled or being watered with a solution of the deliquescent substance. vegetation from the surrounding soilf, a border@ of suitable material, such as brick or concrete, may be provided.
The herein-described process of construlovt-l ing 'playing grounds which consists in successively applying to the surface oflthe'selected siteav layer of unscreened' ashes' of a thickness or depth of about three. inches, alayer of screened ashes of athickness or depth of about, one and a half inches ob,- tained Vby passing the said ashes over a screen of a half to threel quarter inch mesh and a layer of screened burnt brick earth of a thickness or depth of about three quarters of an inch,. the said brick earth being screened in a'sieve of a quarter to an inch mesh or thercabouts, applying a dressing of To prevent the encroachment of` deliquescent' substance to the liest "named l set oilrjlzatiids'in` layer, andbnally applyingaj dressing of' Witnesses x 4 powdered urnt brick ea'rth'tol the sur. ace thus dressed, 'the materia] for the last named BIRKINSHAW'- 5 dressing beingpreferably obtained-by bloW-4 .r .v
