THE POT GAME.

In Nevada City they have a new
game called the ''pOt game" The
Chronicle OF that city says it is
very simple; that almost anybody
who hiss a pair of legs, IA big club,
and Il pot can play it. In the first
place you lay IN earthen pot on
the grass next you blindfold a lady
and give her a seven foot club.
You then lead her Oft about twenty
PAGES and turn her around until
she thinks that northeast is south
west. Having collected her senses
she begins to hunt tho pot, aud
when she gets to the patch of grass
where size supposes it Isl strikes
vigorously with her club, generally
missing it by about twelve yards,
The other day a lady who was
taking a hand in the pastime struck
blindly i'll the air, knocking down
a faro dealer. He was completely
stunned for a few seconds, and al
his back was turned toward tn,
woman when the blow was struck
he had no idea what had hit him
When he recovered his senses how
ever the woman bad handed th
club to the master of ceremonies
who was holding the bludgeon i
his hand when the faro'man tHrne'
round. The faro man at once az
saulted the master of ceremonies
The pot game soon became a riot
aud the faro expert ard bis crow
had thrashed seven e before tn
sport was satisfactorily explained

that the resolution passed NJ u
