GAMES. 151

TRAVELLER.

Tue party having all gathered together, one per-
sonates the “ traveller,” and requests a lodging for the
night. It is granted him, and he is expected to give an
account of his travels, tracing out his course, naming the
cities, rivers and mountains which he has seen in regular
order, also the productions, customs, and peculiarities of
the country, allowing any question to be asked regarding
them. If he make any mistake in his descriptions, or
mentions any production not found in the part he
pretends to have visited, he is chased out of the room
and a forfeit demanded.

THE ELEMENTS.

In this game the party sits in a circle; one throws
a handkerchief at another and calls out, air, earth, or
water, and the person whom the handkerchief hits, must
name a creature native to the element called, before the
caller can count ten. If a wrong one is named, or the
person does not speak quickly enough, a forfeit must be

paid.
