Farmyard Game,

This game, if carried out properly,
will cause great amusement. One of
the party that he will whis-
per to each person the name of some
animal, which, at a given signal, must
be initiated as loudly as possible. In
stead, however, of giving the name of
an animal to each, he whispers to all
the company, with the exception of
one, to keep perfectly silent. To
this one he whispers that the animal
he is to initiate is the donkey.
After a short time, so that all may
be in readiness, the signal is given.
Instead of all the party making the
sounds of various animals, nothing is
heard but a loud bray from n un-
fortunate member of the company,
