When it reaches the individual who is then at the rear
of the column, he runs forward, repeating the per-
formance of the first. The race ends when the last
man on the team to run returns across the base line
after having changed the apples on the distance line.
Apple Race No. 2'*'

A basket full of apples and an empty basket are
placed upon the distance line opposite each team. At
the signal to go the first man on the team runs for-
ward, empties the apples from the full basket into the
empty basket. Should he spill any, he must pick them
up. All of the apples must be in the basket before
he leaves them. He leaves the empty and full baskets
on the distance line and returns, tags off the next mem-
ber on his team and takes his place at the rear of the
line. When all members of the team have done this
and the last member crosses the base line, the race
ends.

one at a time and passes them to the rear as rapidly
as possible. Every man in the line must receive and
pass back every apple. The last man in the column
