Exciting Race Between Kangaroos Won
by the Doped Animal.


by the Doped Animal.
THE most exciting race l ever wit
messed was between three kangarOos,"
said j. l.. Stevenson of Sydney, Aus
tralia, this morning at the New Union
hotel. "A friend of mine, Henry Rob-
erts, has huge plantation out in the
bush in Queensland. One day he
said to me: 'Stevey, did you ever see
a real good kangaroo race?" had seen
the great hoppers laying around the
house, but never race. He disappear
ed and l dozed off to sleep in my ham,
by the shouts of my host. Look.
Look! he cried in great excitement.
Here they come! CHANGING out over
the broad green pasture north Of the
house l beheld the kangaroos. The
three were flying over the short grass,
neck and neck. AS they drew near 1
saw that ribbons were streaming from
their necks. Red. white and blue were
the colors. They approached at aston
ishing speed. making straight towards
Roberts, who held .aloft a small basket
filled with some vegetable. At last
they reached us, big brown kanga-
roo with the red ribbon in the lead.
Roberts emptied the basket before
them and some sugar beets fell to the
ground. Eagerly the kangaroos de-
voured them and an odor of liquor
arose. Roberts had fed them beets
soaked in whisky, had led them to the
edge of thepasture behind the gate and
then retraced his steps to the house,
calling his pets. At signal one of his
men had lowered the bars and the in
toxicated kangaroos, greedy for more
of the strange beets, rushed after their
master. Denver Post.
