  1. (continued from previous page)
    time a skittle is knocked it is counted five. In "blind man's buff" there is a person blind-folded and he tries to get the rest of the people in the room. When playing ducking a basin of water is got and money is put into it. The person who is ducking dips his head in the water and tries to take out the money. Some of the games that are played with cards are "donkey" twenty five and "old maid".
