Luncheon of Ostrich Eqg.

Luncheon for twelve, the principa
| dish being one hard boiled egg
sounds preposterOus, but the egg wal
served last week in the restaurant al
Dreamland. Coney Island. and proved
ample. Eggs of the variety served
are worth $500 dozen. This egg was
laid by an ostrich from the Ostrich
Farm of Jacksonville, Fla, which has
number of birds On exhibition at
DreamIand. it weighed five pounds
One can readily understand that witt
eggs selling at $500 dozen they would
not be very popular as breakfast
food, and the luncheon would never
have been given but for an accident.
While the OStriches were being moved
to their enclosure one of birds of the
flock laid five pound egg on the board
walk, and before the attendants could
pick it up it had rolled some distance
and became slightly cracked. This
ruined it for Matching purposes, the
only practical use to which ostrich
eggs are put, SO Mr.. W. W. Ford, the
manager of the exhibit, decided to In
vite few friends to a novel luncheon.
AS the shell of the egg was al eighth
of an inch IN thickness, it had to be
boiled for two hours. 1t was served
in the shell, resting in a scooped out
block of ice, and a small hatchet was
used to crack it.
There was nothing to distinguish it
from the ordinary egg except its enOr-
nous size, and when sliced it was as
tempting white and yellow morsel
as ever graced salad. Its flavor Was
somewhat richer than an ordinary
hens egg, but that and its wonderful
filling qualities were the only notice
able differences. Every cne declared
it to be a fine repast.
