    2. Football
    3. Hurling
    4. Jumping
    1. A game of marbles is played in this way. Draw a ring on the floor and put a marble in it. You will draw a line about five feet away from the ring and behind that line you will stand to pink.
    2 and 3. Football and hurling are games that are played in every district.
    4. Get two sticks about five feet high and drive them in the ground and get a piece of hemp about the same length and tie it the high you will think you will jump.
