"The struggle for the hood in the village street—called 'the sway'—is a very rough affair. Some years ago the crowd knocked down twenty yards or so of a wall, and a similar occurrence took place some years before that.

"I believe Monday's game was rather unusually well attended for these days. There were, I should say, between three and four hundred people in the field, and the game was well contested. The greatest fun, however, is when there is snow on the ground. I got four photographs taken, but the light was very bad, and the crowd unmanageable.

"My son, who went with me to Haxey, says there were six or seven boggans in the field, but some of them were distinguished only by a strip of red cloth tied round one arm. I did not notice these, being unable to follow the game far on account of the photography."

In conclusion Mr. Bell adds it was the custom "until recently to 'smoke' the fool over a straw fire on the morning after the hood. He was suspended above the fire and swung backwards and forwards over it until almost suffocated; then allowed to drop into the smouldering straw, which was well wetted, and to scramble out as he could."

A rhyming version of the hood-legend exists which bears indications of being the work of a modern versifier. Its author was either unacquainted with the appearance of the country in the neighbourhood of Haxey, or quite indifferent to accuracy of description, for the "local colour" is decidedly faulty. This variant of the story speaks of the original chasers of the hood as knights, and makes "Dame Adela de Mowbray" the heroine of a love-tale for which there is no

 Rh minutes, and consisting of a few traditionary phrases. It ran something like this:

"'Now, good folks, this is Haxa' Hood. We've killed two bullocks and a half, but the other half we had to leave running about field: we can fetch it if it's wanted. Remember it's

This was all; the verses being clearly a most essential feature. They were much applauded, and at their conclusion the fool jumped down, and My Lord led the way to the open field behind the church. It is his part to throw up the hood, or rather hoods, for there are six of them, one, I suppose, for each of the principal hamlets round. The first five were of sacking, and these are, I understand, made every year as wanted, but the last, the hood par excellence, is of leather, and is kept from year to year. The hoods were thrown up about midway between Haxey village and Upper Thorpe, close to the ordnance mark showing the highest ground in the Isle. They are stout rolls of sacking (leather for the last) about two feet in length, and the object is to carry them off the field away from the boggans. If any of these can get hold of them, or even touch them, they have to be given up, and carried back to My Lord. For every one carried off the field the boggans forfeit half-a-crown, which is spent in beer, doubtless by the men of the particular hamlet who have carried off the hood.

"There are certain wards—it may be a tree or a building—showing the limits of the field, and when one of these is reached the hood is struck against it, and is then out of the boggans' domain. This is termed 'wyking' the hood. This goes on with the different hoods in turn until four o'clock, when the leather hood (the hood) is thrown up, and for this there is a great struggle, chiefly between the men of Haxey and those of Westwoodside—that is to say really

"SEC. 205. (a) The Secretary may make not more than two grants to any public or nonprofit entity which— "(1) has an approved application for a grant under section 203 or 211, and "(2) can reasonably be expected to have an operating deficit, for the period for which a grant is or will be made under such application, which is greater than the amount of the grant the entity is receiving or will receive under such application, for the entity's reasonable costs in providing mental health services which are described in section 201(b)(1) but which the entity did not provide before the date of the enactment of the Community Mental Health Centers Amendments of 1975. " (b)(1) Each grant under subsection (a) to an entity shall be made for the same period as the period for which the grant under section 203 or 211 for which the entity had an approved application is or will be made. "(2) The amount of any grant under subsection (a) to any entity shall be determined by the Secretary, but no such grant may exceed that part of the entity's projected operating deficit for the year for which the grant is made which is reasonably attributable to its costs of providing in such year the services with respect to which the grant is made. For purposes of this paragraph, the term 'projected operating deficit' means the excess of an entity's projected costs of operation (including the costs of operation related to the provision of services for which a grant may be made under subsection (a)) for a particular period over the total of the amount of State, local, and other funds (including funds under a grant under section 203, 204, or 211) received by the entity in that period and the fees, premiums, and thirdparty reimbursements which the entity may reasonably be expected to collect during that period.
