Footnotes
The game of Knur & Spell originated in Yorkshire and was traditionally played on Shrove Tuesday. The knur is a small round ball about the size of a golf ball, which is put into a cup fixed upon a spring, which being touched causes the ball to rise into the air, when it is struck by a trip-stick. The cup and spring are called the spell. The trip-stick is a slender stick made broad and flat at one end, the knur being struck by the broad part.
