dore Wainwright, the celebrated game
cock. who, after great victories at Hollets-
Wilt, LAREDO, San Antonio and Caldwell
was sold recently in the cock pit on Gen.
Perdue's ranch, in Burleson county, for
$1,000. The purchaser was Don San Diego
Montermayo, sportsman and chicken
fancier of Monterey, Mexico.
While the gold of his new owner was
being turned over, the victorious young
rooster with his spurs bloody from a re-
cent victory, crowed Justify.
In twepty-seven successive mains
Commodore Wainwright has been success
full. 1t is said that he earned, in his short
career, more than 5000 for his previous
owner. He has fought his last battle,
however, for by the terms of the bill OF
sale the bird is to be used exclusively for
breeding purposes.

the highest price ever paid for rooster
in Texas, but in Old Mexico there were
instances on record where victorious birds
have been exchanged for herds of cattle,
ranches and even silver mines.
