up in full light. The other, beginning at 100 yards, draws
near till he can see the spots well enough to reproduce the
pattern on the other which he carries. If he can do it at
75 yards he has wonderful eyes. Down even to 70 (done
3 times out of 5) he counts high honor; from 70 to 60 counts
honor. Below that does not count at all.
HOME STAR OR POLE STAR
Each competitor is given a long, straight stick, in day-
time, and told to lay it due north and south. In doing this
he may guide himself by sun, moss, or anything he can find
Jn nature — anything, indeed, except a compass.
The direction is checked by a good compass corrected for
the locality. The one who comes nearest wins.
