CAVALIER AND PEON.
Both Consider Cock Fighting 4 Most
Interesting Sport.
Down In Mexico Oamc Birds Are
GrooAsA and Dieted with Par
tioular Carc-Fortanes Won onA
Lest On Battles Royal.

In Mexico cock fights are commonly
termed los gallos, just as bull fights
are called los toros; and at all the
popular fiestns they are only second IL
favor to the latter. good game cock
often costs ms much as horse, but
this is not saying much, as II fair sad
die pony is frequently sold for SIS, or
even less; while game cock may
bring $50, and occasionally 500. The
usual price paid, however, is from $l2
to $25, according to weight, breed and
past record OF the strain as fighters.
The best cocks come from the United
States, and hundreds are shipped into
Mexico during the year, being in con-
slant demand during the festas, which
are always in progress in one part or
another. There are also many cocks
bred there, the hens being largely
Japanese. The cocks are cared for by
trainers, who feed, clean and exercise
them as regularly as n jockey does
running horse. Their house is in real
ity a stable, each cock having his own
stall, with his name above il. as Ell
Garrean (The Sparrow, Chato (Snub
Nose), Tcsorero (Treasurer), Moreno
(Brune), Tirante (Tyrant), Cato
(Cat) and so on. A champion is called
"El Mauser." In these little stalls the
cocks eat, drink and sleep, being
fastened by cord to ring in the
floor. Every morning they are taken
out for run, one ut time, and each
has half an hour In the dirt box, to roll
and dust himself.
When not fighting they are fed once
q day. about sundown. when they have
all the wet corn they can eat, in indi-
vidual pans. set in the stalls. They are
then watered. and the inner rooster
being satisfied each cuddles down in
his stall and goes to sleep. Their
spurs have been cut for their own COM
fort in sleeping. and to prevent their
hurting themselves.
In trimming the combs q curious
custom prevails. The piece cut OF is

The crow Is the evil genius Of the
turtle lust as Of the diamona-back
and other terrapins. When tte warm
days Of spring come and the female
terrapins and turtles leave their beds
in the marsh, the crow goes on guard
knowing that season of feasting is at
hand. Both terrapins and turtles seek

from 20 to 80 inches oblong, white

something admirable in the general
department Of the fighting cock. and
he seldom knows when he is licked"
Some cocks go through five and six
battles, their wounds being clean-cut
and easily healed on this account.
Los gallos are usually held in n small
plaza, surrounded by seats. like
miniature bull ring. An orchestra dis
penses lively music. while peon
stands in the ring and shouts at the
top of his lungs, announcing the next
event. and urging the spectators to
place their bets-in any amount from
2s cents to slo0. or even more. Heavy
players stake as high as $1,000 on
single fight.
All this means, too, that in Mexico
are many men who make life busi-
ness of cock fighting. 1t makes q
queer sight when these cock fighters
transport their birds from one place
to another. The birds are carried in
coue-shaped baskets, several OF them.
