,Y- Some sporting gentlemen in Belei.
nm have lately organized matches between
cats. These animals, it is necessary to OBJ
serve, possess to high degree the facility
of finding their way back to their home un.
der the most disadyantageous circumstances.
According to the Meuse of Liege, (to be
pronounced "mews" on this occasion,) II
match Of this nature took place recently in
that town. Eighteen eats belonging TO diff
fefent persons in the quarter of the city
called Ouire Merse, were taken a distance Of
league and let loose at midnight. In half
an hour one of the cats reached home, and
carried away the first prize: and all the Others
arrived in rapid succession. Three toms,
whose rowing disposition triuinphed over
every sporting sentiment, did not, however,
make their appearance until after sunrise.--
Their names have consequently been
scratched out OF all other subsequent racing
engagements.
