THERE are many chlldrens games OF
L ancient origin. Among these is the
game of hare and hounds. This sport,
which is still played by the coming genera
ton, originated in England about I64o.
The childish amusement of riding cane IS
of great antiquity 1t was practised by the
children of Greece and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is another
youthful pastime of ancient origin. 1t came
from Europe about the beginning of the sew
enteenth century
Leap-frog is mentioned in the works of
both Shakespeare and Johnson 1t has been
PLAYED by children from early times and is
still a favorite game with boys.
The game of seeing who can hop the longest
on one foot came from the ancient Greeks,
where it was practised by the youths for
wagers
Skipping rope is a childish pastime of ancient
origin. In place of rope a vine stripped OF
leaves was originally used.
The spinning of tops, favorite amusement
among children in the spring, also came from
the Greeks Records show that this kind Of
fun was in vogue at the time of Vergil.
The flving kite derived its name from its
originally being made to resemble that species
of bird called kite. The amusement of kite
flying is about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably it originated in China, where so rec
ords tell, the practice of flying kites Is very
ancient.
Blind mans buff is another child's game
which found its origin with the Greeks, among
whom it was often INDUCED IN by adults.

THE oldest game known to man is chess.
l. The origin of this game, mimic battle,
Goldsmith called it in his translation of
Vida, dates back to 5000 B. c. 1t is rich in
legendary anecdotes, and its venerable nomen-
clature has been transmitted through all
changes in language from the earliest tongues
of the lndo-European to the latest.
\ peculiar thing about chess, with its COM
bination of idle amusement and extreme men
tai toll is that it IS the only game sanctioned
by priesthoods of all beliefs. The principal
piece in the game derives its name king, from
the Persian Shah, or ruler.
Many men whose names have gone down
to posterity, such Charemagne, Tamerlane,
Frederick the Great. Charles XII, Noltaire,
Rousseau, and Ben Franklin, have been de
voices and students of the game.
Chess is Asiatic in origin, and originally
more attention was paid to it by Asiatic stu
dents and philosophers than by men of western
countries. OF late years, however, its pOpu-
laritv has greatly increased among western
nations, and national chess tournaments
now held by experts from nearly all countries.
The history of chess may be divided into
three periods, The age of the primeval Indian
game, extending from its origin down to the
sixth century A. D.; the age of the medieval
chess from the sixth century to the sixteenth
century; and the age of the modern chess,
from the last of the sixteenth century to the
present dav. OF course, many changes in the
method of play took place in the course of
development OF the game. and 1t is played
now it IS different from the game the anCients
knew.
Chess has been played in nearly every coun-
try CheSs-boards have been found mong the
ruins at Pompeii, and in the Roman Forum
one may still see the outline of a checker
board roughly scratched on the stone walk by
some senatorial page OF Caesars time. In the
Orient both games have been played from time
inmemorial.

Ancient Tricks

THE arts of juggling were as has been
L proved by learned writers Of high an
tiquity. The Hirpini, who lived near Rome,
jumped through burning Goals; women in
early times were accustomed to walk over
burning Goals in Cappadocia, and the exhibit
ton of balls and cups is often mentioned in
the works of the ancients.
1t was as far back the third century that
one Firmus, or Firmius, who endeavored to
make himself Emperor in Egypt, suffered a
breast and rope-dancers with balancing-poles
are mentioned by Petronius and others; while
the various feats of Workmanship exhibited in
our circuses passed, in the thirteenth century,
from Egypt to the Byzantine court, and
thence over all Europe.

TENNIS was first played in the early part
L of the sixteenth century in England and
France. Matches for considerable wagers were
frequently held, and rather than give up the
game many men played for parts of their
wearing apparel alter Their t money nor was gone
tury covered tennis-courts were erected, and
nearly all the nobility played, including
the women. Henry VII. was devoted fol-
lower Of tennis, and Henry VIII was also
fascinated by the sport.
The first royal tennis match was played be-
tween this monarch with the Emperor Maxi
milan for a partner, against the Prince of
Orange and the Marquis de Brandenborow.
Charles II. was the first person to adopt a
tennis costume.

Cock-Fiehting Among the Greeks

THE sport OF COck-hghting seems to have
L originated with Themistocles of Greece.
When he was leading an army against the
Persians he noted two cocks in a desperate
battle,
To stimulate the courage of his soldiers, he
pointed out the bravery of birds, and having
that an annual cock-fght should be held to
celebrate his victory.
In England the records show that the first
coCk-hght took place in II9I.

Golf

OUR game of golf, or golf, as it was formerly
~ called was popular sport.in England and
Scotland about the beginning of the seven
tenth century. 1t was played by the nobility,
and the favorite pastime of Prince Henry,
son of James |.
Golf sticks were then called bands, y
and golf balls were made OF leather and stuffed
with feathers. The principle of the game was
practically the same then as it is now.

Horse-Racing

HOUSEKEEPING originated in England in
IL the reign of King Henry II. Our
forefathers were captivated by this pastime,
and large wagers were often won and lost on
favorite horses.
Later, about the time of James l.. the betting
fell away from no rse-racing and the contests
were run for prizes of various sorts.

Bowling

BOWLING is one of our games that origi-
- mated in the Middle Ages. The exact date
of its introduction is obscure; but it has been
clearly traced to the thirteenth century.
The first bowling greens were made in Eng
land. In bad weather these could not be used
to advantage, and this led to the construction
of covered bowling-alleys.

Marble-P Playing

CHILDREN played marbles on the streets
~ many years ago. Playing marbles have
been found among the ruins OF Pompeii.

stone. and agate, and 50 extensive was the call
for them that they came to be considered an
