usually an old prize fighting warrior
is placed on the table. The no

enced brother, but the latter is not
permitted to strike too hard or too
often.
These Indian bird competitions are
unlike the old cock fights in Eng
land. These cocks were trained and
fed to be hard and fit, and medium
sized birds only were used. The ma
tives in India, however, feed their
birds well, fattening them up to a
prime condition. These fighting COM
petitions are not at all what one
would can exciting, although the
natives, especially in the north OF
India. take this sort Of "sport"--if II
can be so called-to heart.
The native who possesses a first
class fighter is very attentive to his
charge. and does not mind whom OF
his neighbors he challenges. Some.
times the fights are stopped. espe'

They fight on empty stomachs, as
the natives consider that this gives
the girds a greater incentive to try
and win. The training of the little
creatures is very odd. Directly 1t
has been purchased the quail is car
ried about in the hand for several
days, being lodged in a very small
bag at night, and millet seed forms
the main ration. During this period
he is not allowed to even glance at
one of his brothers or sisters. After
the above preparation he enters into
strict training for his forthcoming
contests, and the natives adopt very
peculiar methods to further this end.
A table Cor even the floor consti-
tutes the training field, and all that
Is necessary is small mirror with a
few seeds.
The mirror Is placed upon the table
and few seeds laid down half way
between the bird and the mirror AS
the little bird has been previously
tasted for some hours he Is naturally
ready for his meal, and hastens to
partake of it. AS the bird endeavors
to pick up the seed the native bird
fighter" places his hand over the
food, immeditely withdrawing it, and
repeating the operation until the

INDIAN PRIZE FIGHTS.
Male Birds Taught to Scrap Spurred

In England little birds are matched
against one another for beauty Of
plumage or strength of song, but in
India they are taught prize fighting,
says Tid-Bits.
The quail is most commonly used in
these prize competitions, and the bird
dealers who stock the fighting kind
do a roaring trade amongst the ma
tives. The birds are kept In cages,
scores and scores being on view at
the various bird dealers shops. Those
who engage in the sport go the round
of these shops, and pick out those
birds that seem quarrelsome to the
other inmates of the cage. For the
small additional fee of 1 I'D the
privilege is given of selecting from
the stock in hand.
The male birds only are used, the
females being placed in their cages
within sight of the battle royal to
encourage their bubbles" to fight.
This they readily do by means of a
peculiar whistle. The natives have
side stakes on the fight but the only
consolation the winning bird receives

shaking up is a liberal feed of deli
