A BATTLE OF COWS.
Finding the "oueen of the Alps" In
Switzerland.

Every year about this time, writes
the Geneva correspondent OF tho Paris
Messenger, the cattle leave the valleys
to seek pasture on the mountain
slopes. They are gathered from all
parts at one spot, and then q battle
royal RACES among them for some days
to choose their queen.
The other day a large number of
tourists at Arolla, in Canton Valais,
witnessed rather novel sight. A
space of 500 square yards was cover
ed with battling cows, and as one was
beaten II retired and remained spec
tator, seeming to take a great inter-
est in the proceedings Toward even
ing about two dozen unbeaten cows
strutted In the arena, and then last
years Cow queen" was brought for
ward. She seemed at once to grasp
the state of affairs. and with blazing
eye she awaited the first rival for
the queenship.
One after another the competitors"
dashed forward to give battle, and in
each case retired beaten. until the
whole batch was conquered Then
the shepherd came forward with
large bell--about twice the size of
those worn by the other cows-and at
tached II round the neck of the queen,
thus giving the finishing touch to the
coronation ceremony.
The curious part Of the affair is
that the other cows at once accepted
their fate, and gathered round their
queen. who proudly lod the way to
their resting place. The herdsmen
interfere as little as possible in these
annual fights, and let the beasts settle
their own affairs. IN this case there
were some 400 cows, but when the
herd is larger the fighting goes on
sometimes for a week until the queen
has been found.
The horns are blunted so that the
animals cannot do each other much
damage, but the fight is very real for
all that After the contest there is
seldom a fight in the herd.
