draughts with the right, one after another, adversary against adversary, aiming 
at the round mark. If a man hits the mark, his antagonist endeavors to dis- 
lodge the draught by placing his own there. When all the draughts are 
expended on both sides, it is examined how they lie, and they are counted 
accordingly: for every draught touching the mark, 1; for that which lodges 
on it, 2; for that which cuts the black circle, 3, ete. In this manner the game 
continues till the number 112, which is the point of the game, is gained. The 
numbers are counted by small sticks made for the purpose.

All stand at one hole and try successively to throw into the other. If but one 
succeeds in throwing into the hole, he and his partner are carried on the backs 
of their opponents across to the opposite goal. If both partners throw into the 
hole they are carried across and then return to the first hole, the “ horses ” who
