    (continued from previous page)
    is called the dog to see how far you can put the cat from the stone. Then the other people that is playing against you fire the cat at the dog to try and strike it where the dog is lying beside the stone and if they miss the cat you will have to strike the cat three times with the dog and then you will guess how many dog lengths the cat is from the stone and if you are told to measure it and it is not as far from stone as you said you will be put out and next man will get in. If the next man lifts the cat without being told he will be put out. We keep count of how many dog lengths the cat is from the stone every time and who ever gets one hundred the first wins the game.
