Inrenile Amusements in Denver.

Top-spining, marble-playing, and all
other similar sidewalk pastimes, says the

and cruel sport called "jewsharping
chickens" Procuring a grain of corn
the heart is followed out, and in the
hole thus made is tied piece of string
To the other end a straw is secured
When this is done the whole is thrown
to q chicken, which gobbles up ana
swallows the grain. OF course the string
and straw follow, lodging in the throat
with the end sticking out of the mouth.
Then the sport, if anything SO cruel can
be called sport, begins. The chicken,
unable to get the straw up or down.
begins a motion with one foot, while
standing on the other, which is not un-
like that of boy playing on iewsharp.
No music of course proceeds from the
throat of the unfortunate chicken, but
itscurious gyrationsafford an infnitefund
of amusement to the boys, who look on in
very much the same manner In which q
crowded audience views screaming
farce. It is a terrible ordeal to the
chicken, bub chen it is so much fun for
the boys, and Young America, you know,
must have it's part.
