pulled out. Mr.. Fleismuth thinks that
the dansRe was done Sunday evening, as
the torn flesh is already nearly healed.
He put the bird in the same cage with it's
mother, the bird that made the wonderful
time reported in yesterdays paper, and
both vera viewed by a large number Of
people yesterday,
One strange thing about the birds was
the difference shown in their powers Of
endurance, "Wichita," The mother bird,
aged eighteen months, was 80 stiff and
sore yesterday that she could hardly ay,
while her daughter, the nine months old
bird that arrived yesterday, damaged
and wounded as she wps, was
as spry as though she had not down ovel

birds did remarkably well, Their records
