THE CABMAN.

This is a very amusing game, and is very easily played at. Fix your eye

on any particular cabman, and he will be sure to come off his stand as

rapidly as he can, thinking that you intended to hail him.

The fun of the game may be increased by looking at three or four on the

same stand, when they will all rush off the rank, and you have only to

explain that you "merely looked, but don't want a cab;" upon which they

will very likely begin quarrelling with each other, and thus add

materially to your amusement.
