PUNCH’S ALMANACK FOR 1867.
THE TABLES TURNED AT THE “ ZOO.”
GAMES FOR ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR.
1. How to tell a Number. — Get a number, any number,
and tell them. Very simple.
2. How to discover what Number somebody else has Chosen.—•
Ask anyone to choose a number. Add 11,867 to it. Treble
it. Take 2,220, i>78,910 from it. Request him to tell you
the number he thought of in a whisper,
play any more.
If he won’t, don’t
3. This is also a pretty game. Tie a ribbon to the poker,
and pretend to be Queen Elizabeth. This keeps up a
knowledge of history. Then go on pretending to be any
one else, until everyone’s tired of you.
4. Blind Hookey.—Fasten a handkerchief round anyone’s
eyes. Then let everyone take fishing-rods, and try to hook
him. If be guesses who has hooked him, he’s out. This
may go on for hours.
INTERPRETATION OF
SLANG PHRASE.
Our own Chaff- Cutter sends
us the following piece of infor-
mation :—
“ Get inside,” cries the little
street Arab to a Cockney eques-
trian.
The Cockney equestrian is per-
haps unaware that the only
method of getting inside ” is
by “ordering ” a horse for the
l>crby.
NOTE BY H.R.H. IN RUSSIA.
(Communicated.)
In Circassia the hairdressers
have organised a mounted corps.
Each man provides his own
Circassian cream, and rides it.
There is a report that, in con-
sequence of their proficiency on
horseback, the name Circassia is
to be changed to Circus-sia, and
Mr. Batty will be made Em-
peror.
Sporting Intelligence.—The
man who came to a check in the
hunting-field, didn’t pocket it.
The Master of the Hounds sub-
sequently “ drew ” on a bank in
the neighbourhood.
Natttjcat. and Physical.—
May the bark of friendship never
'sink in the quinine of ingrati-
tude.
