OSTRICH HuNTING.-With Fancheux's revolver,
couple OF southern hounds, having plenty of tongue
and not too much speed aud horse safe on his legs
and light in hand, man might have an unlimited
amount of sport at bears in Algeria. But, If he
aspire to game there il the lion, the panther
the gazelle the bustard and the ostrich, in the Tell
and Sahara Of that country The chase OF the ostrich
is held in high estimation, and is only followed by
the Arab aristocrat who makes long and extensive
preparation for its enjoyment For some weeks be-
fore the time appointed for the SPORT the Arab feeds
and trains his horses with special care and unless
their wind and condition are perfect, they stand no
| chance with the ostrich he runs them out OF sight,
| This is exactly what is done In our own country by
| good kennel management the fox is oyermatched
| by the condition Of the hound There is curious
point of similarity between the English sportsman
and the arstocat Of the Sahara he rides bis second
horse in the chase OF the ostrich the other does in
that OF the fox. But, il anything he Of the desert
has the advantage he posts bis relay with such a
thorough knowledge OF the running ofhs game, that
| he rarely misses his mount whereas the Meltinian
makes a bad cast frequently. and as frequently finds
| his second horse already half beaten by the bad
| management Of his groom. When the ostrich is
! blown 10 the chase, the rider strikes him with q
sharp tap on his featherless head, and at de-
prives him of life small stick being his sole weapon
At KOus- Konssou surrounded by outlets taken from
the breast of the ostrich is the royal dish OF the des
ert, while the steam of the boiled fat imparts al
unctous taste and gamy favor to the whole.
4 a Mr.. Davies on Algeria.
