Very amusing and novel. An original painting of a picnic of animals in
the woods, so arranged that when properly cut into uniform sections,
some animal’s head appears on nearly every piece or card.
This is printed in colors on heavy paper-board cards, which are dealt
to the players and then in the process of the game the picture is
reconstructed. Price 25 cents.

Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

It is 12 by 6 inches in size. It is beautifully illustrated by
lithograph in bright colors. Two wooden balls go with each game. In
playing the ball is rolled across the floor.
If the ball strikes the left hand knob, the silver bell rings, which
scores you _five_. If the ball hits the right hand knob, the gold bell
rings and scores you _ten_. If the ball hits the centre knob, the cow
jumps over the moon and lands at the right of the game in a standing
position and scores _twenty_. The game is very popular; because it
is very attractive; it is easy to play; it contains a surprise which
makes the children shout and laugh when the cow goes sailing up over
the moon. The interest in the game keeps up hour after hour. Price 50
cents. Receiver to pay express charges, or will be sent postage paid on
receipt of 40 cents.
