CURLING

An ancient Scotch game played on the ice, in which the contestants
slide large flat stones, called curling stones, from one point to
another. These points or marks are called "tees." In playing, an
opportunity for skill is shown in knocking an opponent out of the way,
and also in using a broom ahead of the stone as it slides along to
influence its rate of speed.

At the present time the greatest curling country is Canada. Curling is
one of the few outdoor games that are played without a ball of some
kind.

DIXIE'S LAND

This game is also called "Tommy Tiddler's Land." It is a game of tag
in which a certain portion of the playground is marked off as the
"land." The one who is "it" endeavours to catch the others as they
invade his land. When a player is tagged he also becomes "it," and so
on until the game ends because all the invaders are captured. The game
is especially interesting because of the variety of verses and rhymes
used in various parts of the country to taunt the one who is "it" as
they come on his land.

DUCK ON A ROCK

This game is also called "Boulder Up." It is not customary to "count
out" to decide it. For this game usually some one suggests, "Let's
play Duck on a Rock," and then every one scurries around to find an
appropriate stone, or "duck." As fast as they are found the fact is
announced by the cry, "My one duck," "My two duck," etc. The last boy
to find a stone is "drake," or "it."

The drake is larger than the ducks and is placed on an elevated
position such as a boulder. Then from a specified distance ducks
attempt to hit the drake and to knock him from his position. If they
miss they are in danger of being tagged by the drake, as it is his
privilege to tag any player who is not in possession of his duck. If,
however, the drake is knocked from his perch, the ducks have the
privilege of rushing in and recovering their stones, but unless they
do so before the drake replaces his stone on the rock they may be
tagged. The first one tagged becomes "it" and the drake becomes a
duck.

FAT

This is the universal game of marbles. It is sometimes called "Yank,"
or "Knuckle There." A ring is scratched in the ground a foot or two in
diameter. It is then divided into four parts by two lines drawn
through the diameter. The first step is for each player
