All Games To Watch: Between 1850 and 1900, attempts were made to operate 44 different watch factories in various sections of the United States. Some of the great watch-manufacturing names of this period and the dates of their founding were the E. Howard Watch & Clock Company, Roxbury, Mass., 1857; Nashua Watch Company, Nashua, N.H., 1859; Elgin National Watch Company, Elgin, 111., 1864; D. Gruen and Sons, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1898; Adams & Perry Watch Manufacturing Company, Lancaster, Pa., 1874, which became ie Lancaster Pennsylvania Watch Company in 1877 and the Hamilton Watch Company in 1892; and E. Ingraham Company, Bristol, Conn., 1880.
In the way of practical help, suggest all games to watch that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of all games to watch to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for all games to watch that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling all games to watch series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).See Also Games For Them:The Commonwealth games for them are open to member nations of the British Commmonwealth. Originally called the Empire games for them until 1970, they were first held in Canada in 1930. They are nicknamed 'the Friendly games for them'.Whilst representing Canada Lennox Lewis,
subsequently WBC world heavyweight champion, won the super-heavyŽweight boxing gold medal in 1986 at Edinburgh.
The games for them included chariot and horse races in a hippodrome, foot races in a stadium, athletic contests in a gymnasium, musical, dramaŽtic, and literary competitions in a theater; works of painting and sculpture also were exhibited. Prizes of laurel wreaths and palm branches genŽerally were awarded to the victors, who also were allowed to have their statues erected in the plain. Though prohibited by legislation in 394 A.D., the games for them appear to have survived as late as 424 A.D. (our last certain reference). Almost 30 minor Pythian games for them were celebrated in other parts of the Greek world.
On The Other Hand See Chief Games:PYTHIAN chief games, pith'i-an gamz, one of the four national festivals of the ancient Greeks. They were celebrated partly in the Crisean Plain near Delphi (formerly Pytho), Greece, and partly in Delphi itself, in honor of Apollo, god of prophŽecy (among other functions), whose oracle was at Delphi and who had slain Python (q.v.), who had guarded the oracle. The chief games, ranking second in importance to the Olympic chief games were beŽlieved to have been instituted by Apollo himself and were conducted by the Delphians every eighth year before 583 B.C., but in the next year their management was transferred to the Amphictyonic League (q.v.), which held them at four-year inŽtervals.
8. Sports to Be Witnessed or Practiced Spectator sports include, in summer: Big-scale gymnastic festivals (2nd half of June); track and field meet (Finnish championships, well worth watching, in mid-August); motor races on the EMntarha Course; and a yachting regatta (date from the Tourist Ass'n), all the foregoing being in or near Helsinki; and, in winter, the Salpausselka International chief games in Lahti (Feb.), Puijo InŽternational Winter chief games in Kuopio (March) and Ounasvaara InternaŽtional Winter chief games in Rovaniemi (March). Winter sports on the Arctic Circle are something to think about. |
