MATCHING THE LINNETs.
Thousands in England Enjoy Sing
ing Contests Of These
Pretty Birds.

In the little swarming streets
OF Whitechapel road, down
through ShOreditch and Bethnal
Green, linnet singing is the pas
time of thousands and the bust
ness of scores of men, who will bet
themselves to a standstill over the
sweet-vOiced rivalries of two wee
brown birds Gagged on the wall of
some public house whose reputa-
ton makes responsibility timOr-
Gus of intrusion.
The hard-faced "east ender,"
whose chiefest joy is a bloody
"limited round 60" in the prize
ring of Harry Jacobs Wonder
land in Whitechapel, says Outing,
may be seen next night in the back
room Of Tom SymOnds' "pub," sit
ting in b~reathless silence and be-
hind locked doors, with a hundred
of his kind, while his linnet sings
q match for pleasant song" and a
stake Of ten shillings a side.
When the referee says "NoW"
the watch is started, but this does
not mean that the birds are yet en-
gagged in any rivalry, They sit on
their little perches in silence and
the crowd sits in silence watching
them. Presently one of the rivals
pipes up his opening lay. This is
called the "lead off," The first
note Of a song is called the
"chuckle," Perhaps the bird which
makes the "lead off" may stop with
this "chuckle" and not finish his
song. The stimulus Is enough to
start the other bird, however, and
be in turn makes the "chuckle,'
and then without a break performs
the whole of his repertoire of ten
pheasant songs"
The sulky bird is frenzied at this
superiority and to make up for lost
time sings as if it's heart would
break. Both scorers are busy now
"chalking the scores" as fast az
their pencils can fly. To the IN
trained ear the torrent of piping
notes is hopelessly interminglet
and even when one bird is singing
alone it is impossible to tell where
one song ends and another begins
This sweet piping sbsOrbs the
attention of the audience, while
just beyond the closed doors
horde Of blOated men and slattern
~ women are drinking themselvei

and vulgar merriment.
The birds all tell of purity ant
sentiment and sweetness that car
be found in this east end pub
and they sing as gladly as if greer
fields were their environment.
