ALFONSO HOST AT BIG HUNT.
So Many Deer in the Royal Forest in Spain That the Pasturaee Was
 insufficient

Madrid, Spain, Oct. 13.--A unique hunt was given this week in the roy al forest near La Granja by King AL fonso. His majesty invited a battal- ion of troops known as the CazadOres de Madrid to join him and the court in a big shoot, and every member of the battlon from the colonel to the latest recruited private travelled to La Granja to take part.
 The slaughter of deer was terrific, dozens falling at a time
 The reason for holding the hunt, which lasted through Wednesday and Thursday, was that the forest had be- come so overstocked with deer that the pasturage was insufficient. The foresters estimated that it was neces- sary to kill 2,00O. The victims have not been counted, but probably the projected result has been accomoplish- ed. while incidentally Alfonso has be- come the idol of the Cazadores.
