e the line. A referee and score-keeper are appointed.
The referee tosses a football (a Rugby is the best) to one of the
teams. The man on the team receiving the ball throws it to the
opposing team, his object being to throw the ball so that it will
fall behind the other team's line. If he scores a touch-down--that
is, if it goes inside the line, it counts three points to the side
throwing the ball. If the ball does not fall inside, but outside
the line, it counts a foul, and scores a point against the side
throwing it.

If a member of either team, whether he is receiving or throwing
the ball, steps over or on the line, it constitutes a foul, and
scores one point against his side. Of course the swifter the ball
is thrown the more unlikely any member of the opposing team is to
catch it. A certain length of time to play had better be agreed
upon. I nearly forgot to mention that two lines must be drawn at
right angles to the principal ones--that is, a line at each end.
Should the ball go outside these lines it is a foul. These rules
can be perfected and enlarged according to any one's desire.

I give a diagram showing how the lines should be drawn, and how
the men could be arranged, if desired. This diagram is for a team
of ten men. The game is called Newcomb.

Entertainments for the Fund.

Not a few fairs and entertainments are planned for the near future in
aid of the School Fund. There are to be fairs at Newton, N. J.; Upper
Nyack, N. Y.; and Edgecombe Road, New York city; and stereopticon
entertainments in Washington, Louisville, Dayton, and Piqua, O.; Easton,
Pa.; Somerville, Perth Amboy, and East Orange, N. J.; Brooklyn and
Utica, N. Y.; Newport, R. I.; and, a little later on, Cincinnati, O.
Besides, Mr. Kirk Munroe is to give a reading and reception in New York
city.

Why may not there be held, at or near the holidays this year, say early
in December, a great number of fairs? Mr. Munroe's letter describing his
visit to Good Will Farm has aroused much interest. It explains all about
the work there. If you are interested, send to us for a copy. It will be
sent you free. Write us about any proposed effort in your town. Suppose
we hear from three or four persons in one town? We immediately bring you
together and there is a working force all ready to hand
