by two dealers, sitting opposite each other ou a blanket, each backed by two or 

 more singers and a drummer. The game commences by one of the dealers taking 

 the sticks in both hands, about equally divided, and holding them behind his back 

 and in that position shuffling them from hand to hand, after which he brings 

 them in front of his body with both hands extended aud the sticks grasped so 

 the players can not see the centers. The opposite dealer clasps his hands together 

 two or three times and points to the hand which he thinks holds the stick with 

 the black center. Should he guess correctly he takes the deal and holds it until 

 his opponent wins it back in like manner. For each failure a forfeit is paid, also 

 the dealer pays a forfeit when he loses the deal. Friends of each party make out- 

 side bets on the dealers ; each dealer's band plays and sings as long as he holds 

 the deal.
