   untill a big long chain of them are caught to-gether. One cannot separate from the other. Another game I play is "Frog in the well".

   The game I like best is "schooling". When we are playing this game we are supposed to be jumping horses. The way we play this game is we make six fences out of furzes. Then we name ourselves some jockey such as D. L. Moore or W. T. O'grady. Then we pretend we are riding some of Walker's horses. Next thing we do is make a winning post. then we go twice round and whoever passes the post first wins.
