Bows sports In Guatemala.

In Guatemala boys have their games
and sports as boys elsewhere do, but
to American young folk some of these
will appear very odd as well rs danger
ous. These little coal-black Caribs
are very active and supple, and if they
fall they are very apt to light on their
feet like cat. In many of their
games there is not more than little
grass spread over the ground for the
protection of their bones, and in some
cases none Mt ALL
A merry-go-round game is played
on long board balanced over post,
with large wooden pin projecting up
through it at the middle-a sort OF
merry -go-round. The boys choose
partner and one gets or at each end.
The opposing two, or as many as like,
get inside, near the post, and push
the board around as rapidly as pos.
sible, until one of the players is thrown
of. When one is dislodged from his
seat he goes rolling and humping
along the ground as if he never would
stop.
Another game is played with
"greased pole" peculiarly constructed.
1t is held in an oblique position by
tri-posts and rope running from the
top to a stake in the ground. At one
side near the bottom is hoop, on
which prizes such as straw hats and
handkerchiefs, are hanging. The
boys go up to the top by a native
ladder and slide down, endeavoring to
grasp prize from the hoop-if they
get that far without falling. This is
very difficult game, as the contestant
has generally slipped round to the
underside of the pole or fallen from it
before the hoop is reached. As their
little black bodies rub the grease from
the pole the prizes disappear more
rapidly.
The tight-rope game is the most
difficult and perhaps the most danger
ous of all. Two posts, about eight
feet high, sunken in the ground, sup
port two wooden triangles on an axle,
about nine feet long. From each
corner of the triangle a rope runs to
the corresponding corner of the one at
the other end. A prize is placed at
one end and the little Carib must
make his way. across on the ropes to
obtain it. The slightest variation of
balance or pressure on the ropes and
the axle revolves violently, often
throwing the contestant to the ground
with much force. However, it is
always pleasing to see him get up and
show his perseverance,. He thinks
not of himself, but of the prize, and
he must have new hat or handker-
chief even if it does cost him good
many bruises.
These Carib boys are even more
daring on water than they are on land.
They almost always stand up to paddle
their little "dugouts" because they
are not tall enough to sit down and do
it. Their boats, or cayugas, as they
call them, are very unsteady, and it is
impossible for one person to pass an
other in them. Sometimes in ferry
ing passengers from the boats the
little fellow becomes so excited
through his good fortune ut earning a
real he will get wrong place in his
boat. He simply jumps into the
water, swims to the stern, nimbly
climbs in and paddles away. No
matter how rough the water may be-
you can see the same number of boys
out on the sea, standing up in their
lottery crafts and padding hither and
thither. One wonders how they
manage to stay in them. Chicago
