BIRDxBUFF. 



A NEW GAME. 



Seat the company, (with one exception) in a circle and give each a 

 number. One person blindfolded and standing in the center is called 

 the Falcon. 



He calls out two numbers, the persons having these numbers must 

 at once rise and change places with each other without going outside 

 of the circle. If either is touched by the Falcon before he gains his 

 seat, he must imitate the song or call of some bird. The first person 

 identified by his song takes the place of the blindfolded Falcon in the 

 center, and again calls out two other numbers. If the game lags at 

 any time the Falcon may call out the name of any bird, when everyone 

 must change seats, at the same time imitating the song of the bird 

 whose name is called. The Falcon will then be pretty certain to se- 

 cure a bird to take his place as catcher. 



If desired, forfeits may be required of any one who repeats the song 

 of a bird which has already been given.
