Ah! he's goin' to look on at the games.

Them's worth lookin' at." The games to which Joe referred were taking place on a green level plain close to the creek, and a little above the waterfall before referred to.

Some of the Indians were horse-racing, some jumping, and others wrestling; but the game which proved most attractive was throwing the javelin, in which several of the young braves were engaged.
This game is played by two competitors, each armed with a dart, in an arena about fifty yards long.

One of the players has a hoop of six inches in diameter.

At a signal they start off on foot at full speed, and on reaching the middle of the arena the Indian with the hoop rolls it along before them, and each does his best to send a javelin through the hoop before the other.
