The player selected to kick the ball must send it at least ten yards
into the opponent”s camp, and it is usually sent as much farther as
the judgment of the kicker directs. When the ball comes sailing over
into their ranks the enemy catch it and either return it by a kick or
one of them runs with the ball.

differs from the foregoing game, in the fact that there is no taw
line. The player shoots from one end at the middle hole. If he
succeeds, he is entitled to a span, and he keeps on as before till he
becomes a king. Before this, he can take but one span in any
direction, but as a king, he can take one foot measure–his own foot
–and a span from the first hole; two feet and a span from the second
hole, and three feet and a span from the third hole. This gives him a
great advantage, and if there is no rival king he is ‘Monarch of all
he surveys.’ If there is a second king, the first one assigns him the
first hole to guard, because from this he can take only one foot and a
span. When all become kings, or the points agreed on are won, the game
is over.

In the game of English Cat there are from four to eight bases,
depending on the number of players. The bases may be small stones, or
even holes in the ground.

After violent exercise of any kind, be sure to take a bath and a brisk
rub down. If this cannot be had, a towel well soaked in cold water
will make a good substitute, if you dry down with another towel.

Kites have been used to draw light vehicles over smooth ground, and
they make good sport when made to draw sleds over the ice, or as ‘top-
loftical’ sails for small boats. I have seen in New York a tandem team
of ten kites used for advertising purposes.

are best kept in a tin box in which a number of holes are pierced to
admit air, but they must not be so large as to let the worms out.
Moist, but not too wet wood or other moss is better than earth as a
nest for worms, if they are to be kept some time. Keep your bait box
in a cool, damp place, and whenever you want worms, lift the moss
and you will find the worms hanging to it.

Now the camping outfit, including enough provisions for the proposed
stay, must be carried, and unless the stay is to be short, a wagon or
pack animals should be provided for this purpose. In the army and out
West mules are used for this purpose, but any quiet horse will do just
as well.

There is no arbitrary rule as to which side you shall swim on, left or
right being a pure matter of choice; but while I think the left is
preferable, as it gives greater play to the right arm, the right is
the usual side ‘put on’ by the majority. The great thing is to be able
to swim equally well on either, as this enables you to keep your face
to the breakers in a rough sea on whichever tack you lay your course.
