Benjamin.
A more impressive and pathetic sight
il would be impossible to imagine. The
whole company stand with their faces to
the wall, and they chant, not together,
but each one for himself or herself, a
litany of lament over the fate of the
City of David. The litany is in Hebrew,
and every one present had with him the
Hebrew prayer book. There is no unison
or harmony in this recitation of sorrow
and humiliation. Each one as he arrives
begins to deliver his lamentation, bend

lieves to be remnant of the old city.

the performance with complacent scorn,

religion it affords striking testimony

Curious SPORT IN CUBA.

truei Amusements With Ducks. Chicken.
and Bulls as the Victims.
Cubans of the lower and middle
classes indulge their sporting blood in
pastimes which would not be tolerated
in country having Society For the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
On fete days in the smaller towns and
villages which can't support bull
fight favorite sport is to hang sleek
fat duck by the feet by wire or rome
stretched between two trees or posts ON
the village plaza. The head of the duck
hangs just out of reach of man ON
horseback, and the sport consists in
riding under the poor duck at full speed.
grabbing it by the neck and pulling
its head off. A duck S neck will stretch
great DEAL and it requires a firm hold
and determined jerk to yank off the
prize.
The duck frequently resists the efforts
of half dozen riders before parting
with its head. The horsemen sometimes
miss the duck entirely, lose their bal
ance and roll out of the saddle into the
dust. This furnishes fun for everybody
except the duck.
The game may also be played on the
water, in which case the line on which
the duck hangs is stretched between the
masts of two anchored boats, and row.
boats are substituted for horses.
In another country game chicken is
buried alive in the ground to the neck,
its head alone being visible. The men
who enter the game are blindfolded and
armed with machete, long knife
used in cutting cane. They are walked
around in confusing circles for few
minutes and then released for an attack
ON the chickens head. The one who
cuts off the head clean in the fewest
number of strokes wins the prize.
In default of a bull fight the Cubans
indulge in bull batting game on which
money is wagered. A bull is released in
an inclosure which is too small to give
him much play and from which he can
not escape. Any one who wishes may
enter dog to fight the bull. The dog
which succeeds in securing a neck or
nose hold on the bull and brings him to
the ground wins the game. From half
dozen to 10 dogs are often entered
against one bull and their owners bet
large sums on their candidates. AL
though all the dogs worry and fight the
bull, and consequently all are respon-
sible for his ultimate overthrow, yet
only the dog which actually brings him
! to earth is the winner

buncoed. No cause is too sacred for a

thizers ready to be heeced by every

of the combine was too absolute to ad
