A CARNIvOROUS EQUINE.

A Horse That Prefers Meat 10 Any
other Kind of Diet.
The most extraordinary appetite
known in a horse belongs to Billy, n
handsome bay owned by a. Decour-
tieux & Son. the butchers. of the Pacific
fruit market. says the San Francisco
Call.
Billy's duties are to draw the firms
delivery wagon, and his stand is on
Merchant street, in front of the shop.
Here he is often on exhibition. eating
with an apparent relish steak, liver,
tripe, and. in short, almost any variety
OF meat handed him. Sometimes, after
having had his fill of oats and hay, he
refuses to MUNICH meat, but this seldom
occurs.
Billy's appetite developed several
months ago.
The horse formerly varied his carnal
meals by purloining fish, but he was
cured in n manner that was ludicrous
to the spectators, but very painful for
the equine phenomenon.
He reached into a fish wagon one day
when his olfactories detected the odor
Of his favorite smelt, but an active and
belhgerent crab took offense at the in
trusion and promptly fastened to his
lower lip.
Billy shook his head frantically, and
whinnied in pain; but the crustacean
held on until he was crushed by being
banged against the side of the wagon.
Since then the horse has kept clear Of
fish.
