Each
player's
position
is
shown
on
the
goose
by
a
counter,
a
wafer,
or
any
small
article.
Any
number
beyond
63
sends
the
thrower
back
as
many
points
as
he
exceeds
63.
Thus
if
he
were
58,
and
by
a
6
and
5
he
threw
eleven
he
would
go
forward
5
squares
to
63,
and
back
6
squares
from
63.
In
addition
to
this,
certain
numbers
on
the
goose
are
barred;
and
if
the
player
make
them
he
is
fined
two
counters,
which
are
added
to
the
pool.
The
numbered
goose
is
sold
at
most
toy
shops,
but
a
numbered
draughtboard
will
serve
as
well.

Troco
or
Lawn
Billiards.
This
is
a
game
that
may
be
played
by
any
number
of
persons
in
a
field
or
open
space.
The
implements
are
wooden
balls
and
long-handled
cues
at
the
ends
of
which
are
spoonlike
ovals
of
iron.
In
the
centre
of
the
Troco
ground
is
fixed
a
ring
of
iron,
which
moves
freely
on
a
pivot,
the
spike
of
the
ring
being
driven
into
a
piece
of
wood
let
into
the
ground.
The
wooden
ball
is
lifted
from
the
ground
by
means
of
the
spoon-ended
cue,
and
thrown
towards
the
ring--the
object
of
the
player
being
to
pass
the
ball
through
the
ring;
and
he
who
succeeds
in
making
any
given
number
of
points
by
fairly
ringing
his
ball,
or
canoning
against
the
other
balls,
wins
the
game.
Canons
are
made
by
the
player
striking
two
balls
successively
with
his
own
ball
fairly
delivered
from
his
spoon.
Thus
(says
the
most
recent
writer
on
the
game)
a
clever
player
may
make
a
large
number
of
points--five,
seven,
or
more
at
a
stroke:
two
the
first
canon,
two
for
a
second
canon,
and
three
for
the
ring.
This,
however,
is
very
seldom
accomplished.
