paper and pencil and write the players' names across the top of
the paper in the order in which they are to play. Next draw a large
circle, in the center of which draw a smaller one, placing the number
100 within it. The space between the inner and outer circles must be
divided into parts, each having a number, as shown in the diagram.

This having been done, the first player closes his eyes, takes the
pencil, and places his hand over the paper, the point of the pencil
just touching it. He then repeats the following rhyme, moving the
pencil round and round while doing so:

Tit, tat, toe,
My first go,
Four jolly butcher boys
All in a row.
Stick one up,
Stick one down,

The old man's crown.

At the word "crown" the player must keep the point of the pencil
firmly on the paper, and open his eyes. If the pencil is not within
the circle, or if within but with the point of the pencil resting upon
a line, then the player gives the pencil to the next player, having
scored nothing.

If, on the contrary, at the end of the rhyme, the pencil is found to
be resting in a division of the circle, for instance, marked "70,"
that number is placed beneath the player's name, and the section is
struck by drawing a line across it. If afterward the pencil rest in a
