Millbury, Oct. 16.-A disgraceful cock
fight was pulled off in the Neff woods in
Bramanville. this afternoon at 2
o'clock, between birds" from South
Worcester and local sporting breeds.
The party arrived in teams shortly ar-
ter u o'clock. and at once began TO
prepare for the sport. The NIillbury
party We're somewhat delayed, owing
to the fact that there had been a mis-
understanding in regard to the meet
ing point
1t was just o'clock when the first
bird was dropped into the ring; it was
a large game. weighing 6 "a pounds.
Two minutes later the Milloury bird
was put into the ring. 1t was some-
what lighter than its opponent and
trifle smaller The two rushed at each
other, the Millbury bird Fortunately
catching its spur in its opponents neck
and winning in a few seconds, the
other cock dying in few moments.
The next two were black Spanish
birds exactly the same weight and
size. After the fight had been going
on for several moments, Spy man ar
rived upon the scene, and after much
difficulty, was admitted and escorted
by a guard to the pit. Then came more
trouble and the birds We're taken from
the ring when it became known that
there was a Spy man present.
A heated discussion followed, ana as the
reporter knew several of the spectators
who We're present, they were obliged to
continue the sport. The spurs were
again attached to the roosters and they
We're thrown into the ring tor
the second time. They fought furiously
for nearly 10 minutes, neither gaining
the advantage. After a few moments
more of fighting the .Millbury bird
dropped, exhausted.
After this came the biggest fight of
the day They We're small Bantams,
weighing one pound each. The little
fellows fairly few at each other for
ten minutes, until they became so eX-
hausted that both of them gave out
together. There was bet of SIS upon
the birds, and it was declared a draw,
all bets being off. There were several
other smaller fights during the after
noon, most of them being short dis
tance from the ring, where a few kegs
of ale and lager We're on draught. The
Millbury birds were victorious.
