Texan Sports.

Sportsmen find an agreeable abiding
place in Texas. On the prairies al
most every kind of wild animals
abound. In the north west are the
wild horse, or mustang, and tho fierce
buffalo. The deer and the antelope,
the moose and the mountain goat, are
plentiful, not to mention the jaguars,
the wild cats, black bears, ocelots,
wolves and foxes, and such smaller
game as pcccaries, opOssums, hares,
rabbits and squirrels. A special feat
urc of wild life is tho prairie dog or
marmot, dwelling i'm holes burrOwed
in the ground. Their numbers are so
great that tho traveller may journey for
days together without losing sight of
them. The feathcrcd tribe are also
abundant, including birds of prey and
birds of sport. There is the bald.head-
ed eagle and tho Mexican eagle, vul-
lures, owls, hawks, wild turkeys, wild
geese, prairie hens, canvas back and
other ducks, teal, brant, phcasants,
quails, grouse, woodcock, pigeon, part
ridges, snipe, plover, red birds and
turtle doves. BY tho waters are also
found the crane, the swan, the pelican,
the water turkey, and the king-flsher.
The smaller birds are numerous, and
among them many of the most brilliant
plumagc, as the oriolc, the paroquet,
the cardinal, the whippoorwill, and the
swcct-toncd mocking bird. = Black
birds abound, and wood-peckers, blue
jays, starlings. swallows, martens, and
wrens. In the rivers and bays there
are all the varieties of water life, from
alligators to perch, pike, trout, green
turtle aud oysters.
