Road-side Cribbage

Source text

This is a game we often play in the train, to pass the time pleasantly.

Sometimes one party takes the right side of the road, with the windows there, and the other the left. Sometimes all players sit on the same side.

The game is, whoever is first to see certain things agreed on scores so many points.

Thus: A crow or a cow counts 1 A cat 2 A hawk 3 An owl 4 A sheep 5 A goat 6 A horse 7

The winner is the one who first gets twenty-five or fifty points, as agreed.

When afoot, one naturally takes other things for points, as certain trees, flowers, etc.
