AUNT SALLY

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 922 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUNT SALLY , the
English
  name for a game popular at fairs, race-courses and summer resorts. It consists in throwing hard balls, of
wood
  or leather-covered yarn, at puppets dressed to represent different characters, originally a grotesque female figure called " Aunt Sally," with the object of smashing a clay pipe which is inserted either in the mouth or forehead of the puppet. In France the game is popular under the name jeu de massacre. In a variation of the pastime the mark consists of a living person's head thrust through a hole in a
sheet
  of canvas. In case of a hit a second shy is allowed, or a small prize is given.
