Hunt Kanaaroos by Auto.

sydney. Australia. April 2l.-A new
form of real sport has been discovered
in notwithstanding k%angaroos by
motorcar.
The mere chase alone is said to be
productive Of many thrills, calling Tor
a fast car guided by an adept hand.
To pilot Il motorcar through the open
country. over fields dotted with rabbit
varrens and bunch grass hunkers at
a speed of forty or ~fOrtN-tive miles an
hour calls for steady nerves, a cool
head and consummate skill.
AS the shooting is done over the side
of the car the man at the wheel is
forced to maneuvcr his craft II
after the fashion Of u man-o-War in
order to give the rifles q chance. The
hunters shoot from a humping, sway
ing seat at a target which moves as
fast if not faster than the car. The
range varies from fifty to 100 yards.
The fact that a prolonged drought
had made the kangurooS Il pest in the
vicinity of water places caused the
automobile owners to offer their serV
ices and their cars toward Kidding tho
country of numbers of the trouble
some animals. Heretofore it had becl
found exceeding difficult to bag thu
creatures without persistent and OK
pert stalking. Kangaroos will run for
ty-tivc miles an hour with injuries tina

distance the %fleetcst horse.
