the small fry on the common, one day last
| week. The ball was caught by two young
sters, evidently on opposing sides In
their struggle to gain sole possession of it.,
both lads fell. keeping their hold on the ball

prospect that the essential article would be
i'll play very soon, all decided to take a
hand. The two contestants were therefore
seized by the feet and a tug of war euSued.
The plucky, if not lucky, holders OF the
bail stuck 1t out for some seconds, but be-
fore long their strenuous grasp on the ball
weakened, and both felt themselves re-
ceeding, feet first, impeled by Jealous par
tlsan, The ball lay undisturbed until an
urchn succeeded in extracting himself
from one OF the punches, and after run
around end fell on the ball with victo-
rious whoop. The whole performance
though distinctly novel in style of play
was well worth watching.
