sNATCHING AT THE HEAD OF A GOOSE.

sNATCHING AT THE HEAD OF GOOSE.
Blacksmith Joris had set up in front of
his shop two stout poles ten feet apart,
connected with strong crossbar
twenty feet from the ground. From
this bar hung living goose, tied firm
~ by the legs, just over the head of a
mounted rider. The sport consisted in
riding at full speed between the poles
and snatching at the head Of the goose
to bear the head away from the body
or to tear the whole bird away. As the
goose had been thoroughly creased and
futtered wildly this proved no easy
task.
Here was Dutch tar, pirate per-
haps, clustering with schnapps from
Cruger's tavern, bawling out that he
could catch aloft better than any land
lubber. And, with his Tapping trou-
sers. crimson sash, cutlass, earrings
and pigtails, he mounted a shaggy
Dutch pony and rode gathering at the
poles and the futtering goose. But the
i'll broken cart horse promptly threw
him to the frozen ground as he rose
swaying In his stirrups to catch the
slippery goose, and shouts of laughter
greeted him as he rose scowling and
threatening.
When the fun was at it's height Gov
ernor Stuyvesant would come stump
ing along on his silver banded wooden
leg and try to force an unwilling rattle
watch to spoil the sport by arresting
the nois1est men and prevent more
sins, debaucheries and calamities.'
Here is a part of one Of Governor
Stuyvesant's proclamations: Whereas.
Experience has taught us that on New
Years Day and May Day from the Fir
ing Of Guns, the Planting Of Maypoles
and Drunken Drinkers there has re-
suited unnecessary waste of powder
and much intoxication with the bad
practices and bad accidents, therefore
We expressly forbid any firing of guns
or beating of drums" etc.
1t is quite plain that excellent rea-
sons caused the prudent old governors
irritation and intolerance, for three
weeks Of every midwinter at these hOl-
iday times were so given over to holt
day observance that the courts did not
sit public offices were closed, and no
important business could be transacted
The newspapers OF JAN 2, 8 and
showed an aftermath Of the day in the
long lists Of arrests for intoxication,
though each year the editor always
wrote the perfunctory falsehood which
seemed TO be deemed due to the day,
that ''our city kept remarkably sober
