   Each held both the other's hands. Several other pairs of men did the same thing until there were a ling of pairs a few feet apart. Then another man jumped over the hands of each pair until he reached the end of the row.
   The following is another game which was played at wakes in this locality. To see who had the stronger hand two men stood facing each other on the kitchen floor. They clasped each other's right hands and each tired its force the other's hand downwards. The left hand was not allowed to be used. They continued at this until they discovered who had the strongest right arm.
   My father described these games to me. He, himself, never saw them played but his father who often took part in them told him of them.
