    "Quades" is a game which is very frequently played in the country at the present time. It is easy to play. Each man gets a small stone and pitches it towards a large stone and if he is the nearest to the goal he gets two points. If a man scores first and second, he gets three points and so on the game goes till the number 50 say is reached.

    Clock Golf is a very nice game which I play at home. It is played on a course of level land. A hole is made in the middle of a square plot and twelve pegs are placed round this square at an equal distance apart as sown in diagram.
    Each person tries to get a ball into the hole from no. 1 position in the least number of attempts. Then all stand at fig. 2
