4. Throwing bean-bags into a hole cut in a board. Fifteen feet is a good distance. Each competitor should be allowed five bags.
5. Laughing in the most original manner.
6. A tickling-match. Two competitors should each be given a feather. One hand must be held behind the back. An eight-foot circle is drawn. The winner is he or she who stays the longer in the circle without making a sound.
7. Hand-wrestling. Two people stand opposite each other, with legs braced, and grasp each a hand, holding the other hand behind them. The point is to jerk or pull your opponent in such a manner that he is forced to move one of his feet.
8. Standing on one foot, on a chair, the longest. The right arm must be held up straight, and not supported.
9. Sitting down on the floor, and getting up again most gracefully. The arms must be folded.
10. Thrusting a cane through a swinging napkin-ring. The fewest thrusts count the most.
11. Running up-stairs in the quickest time. Every stair must be used.
12. “Putting” the balloon. The competitor must stand in a seven-foot circle, or come up to a line from not more than seven feet back, and “put” a toy balloon as far ahead as possible. The distance must be measured from the spot on the floor or ceiling where the balloon first strikes, to the middle of the putting-edge of the circle or of the putting-line.
