BLIND MANS BUFF,
The Origin Of This Favorite Sport O
Childhood and Youth.

The Origin Of This Favorite Sport of
Childhood and Youth.
This favorite sport Of childhood and
youth is of French origin and very high
antiquity, having been introduced into
England in the train of the Norman
conquerors. Its French name, Colin
Maillard, was that of "a brave warrior,
the memory of whose exploits still lives
in the chronicles of the middle ages.
In the year 999 Liege reckoned among
its valiant chiefs one Jean Colin. He
acquired the name Maillard from his
chosen weapon being a mallet, where
with in fight be used literally to crush
his opponents. In one of the feuds
which were of perpetual recurrence in
those times he encountered the Count
de Lourain in a pitched battle, and, SO
runs the story, in the first onset Colin
Maillard lost both his eyes. He ordered
his esquire to take him into the thickest
of the fight, and, furiously brandishing
his mallet, did such fearful execution
that victory soon declared itself for him.
When Robert of France heard of these
feats at arms, he lavished favor and
konors upon Colin, and SO. great was
the fame of the exploit that it was COM
memorated in the pantomimio repre-
sentations that formed part of the rude
dramatic performances of the age. By
degrees the children learned to act il
for themselves, and it took the form Of
familiar sport.

The blindfolded pursuer, as, with
bandaged eyes and extended hands, he
gropes for a victim to pounce upon,
seems in some degree to repeat the &C.
ton of Colin Maillardz the tradition Of
which is also traceable in the name,
