ugly cut. The birds were taken up and put to the scratch again, but the Colorado bird had enough and wouldn't fight.
 The fifth fight was between two dark reds. Right at the start the home bird trlpped himself upon his gaff and never got chance to fight, the other killing him very quickly.
 The sixth collision was very excit- ing and interesting, La Colorado men betting very lively upon their cock Both were yellow, the one from Her. mosilo dark, ninttled. In very short order the Hermosillo chicken was dead.
 That settled the main. But two more fights were pulled off. In the first white rooster of La Colorada killed red one from Hermosillo after a very fierce and protracted battle.
 The eighth was tame, the Hermo- sillo chicken killing his bird very quickly.

chanticleer Discussions at La colorada.

been a great deal of amusement for those inclined to be sporty in the regular Sunday afternoon cock fights For along time the chicken disputes were between two factions in the burg. But two or three weeks ago there loomed up Hermosillo sport, named Tejo, with coopful of feath- cred fighters, and roll of bank notes as large as stove pipe Immediately local contentious were dropped and all the gallinaceous warriors were mobil- ized for battles royal with the pre- sumptiOus outsider. t
 Two mains were speedily arranged -one of five fights on Sunday, Feb ruary 26th, and the other of six fights week later March 9th. The stakes were $l00 on each fight, and sl,000 on the eleven battles in the two mains, with side bets galore. With their usual love for sport the American colony turned out in large numbers to witness the fun, and bet their money freely and unreservedly.
 In the first main La Colorado chick ems won the first and fifth battles, and Hermosillo roosters the other three. While the Hermosillo fellows were $l00 winners on the five lights they lost heavily on the side, for after 
 losing the first fight they were chary about betting upon the next three. On all of them they refused plenty of La Colorado offers, scaling down all bets tendered, and taking sn all chances. Finally they plucked up courage on the fifth, plunged Ito beat the band," and were done up worst than on the first battle.
 Last Sunday came the final test, and an exciting time was had all around. Of the six fights scheduled each side won three, making the win nings on single fights standoff; but giving to Hermosillo the stake of Sl,000 upon the general result. On the side bets the affair was also about a standoff. Afterward there were two mpromptu fights for Sl00 side, and each won once.
 The men running the show were adopts at the businesss Each had a case of gaffs-sharp, curved knives, about two inches loDg-one of which was fastened to one leg of each fighter They were kept in fine oak cases with velvet lpings, and when opened sug- gested case of surgical instruments. There was also scale for weighing the birds, and in one or two cast S haggling over weights was indulged.
 The first fight was between red rooster from the state capital and a white cock flecked with gold and brown. In three stabs the Hermo- sillo bird was killed. But his successful antagonist was severe ly wounded. The latter was buried iu the ground, save the head, and water sprinkled on the earth GOV erlng him. But in the course of a half hour he too yielded up the ghost
 In the second fight blue bird was pitted by La Colorado against a red one from Hermosillo. The first pass the blue nearly cut of leg for the other, placing him hors du combat and then proceeded to kill him. La Colorado became very hilarious, and had money to throw to the birds, which they proceeded to do by betting on the home bird Many of the American colony chopped on their system, or as one neatly put it, i've are agin the government this time.
