 The highest pitch of this dance is reached in about two hours. The dancers are almost ready to drop from exhaustion, when at last the birds fjnd suitable resting place, with abund ant food.
 AZ the dance proceeds, the singers sing fifty songs. some of them glory fsing the coming of spring with plen- ty of game. Some coaxing the birls to settle near their village and be friendly. Some praising the spirits 1f departed birds etc. Immediately after the dance, the wives of the c5iefs bring buckets of water which is eagerly drunk by the thirsty per formers, who retire to their platform to rest There is an intermssion of half an hour, during which the audi ence crticise the dancers freely, and piaise their favorites.
 The next dance which is performed by the same four chiefs aided by six women is called "The dance of the hunters and the game"
 The chiefs representing the game birds the women the hunters. In each hand the women hold an eagle feath. CT about three feet long. tipped with swans down. these are ihe weapons of the hunters.
 The dancers form circle. the drum sounds. the singers begin to chant. the birds commence their flight and the hunters go through the motions of spearing and shooting them with tteir arrows. Their aim apparently Al length they grow weary, their Tight Is lower the arrows of the hunters pierce them. More and more fcebly futter the wings of the dying birds till at length they drop .quiver- ing. The drummer sounds a final loud chord. and the dance ceases ab- ruptly.
 The songs during the dance are partly in mockery of the poor mark manship of the hunters. and partly polite requests to the birds to allow themselves to be killed. to relieve the hunger of the village The motions uf the women dancers are particular " graceful and beautiful.
 At the conclusion of this dance the 'hiefs retire to their platform and the women rejoin their companions. The chief drummer removes his great drum. His place is taken by six natives each supplied with q common Eskimo drum.
 The four assistant chiefs step out or the floor. and at once begin the dance of "The driving out of tho strangers"
 It is interesting to watch the eX- pression on the faces of the audience, throughout the dance.
