The Great Birds, as Strong as Horses.

Ostriches battle for supremacy with
as much ferocity as stays. bulls. buff

fight is amusing. inasmuch as it

lightly dance around each other.
There is. however. this difference-if
any human boxer could hit as hard
with his hands as can an ostrich with

City Controller McMahan has quite
