India's Prize Fichtino Birds

In most countries little birds are
matched against one another for
beauty of plumage or strength of song.
but in India they are taught prize
lighting.
The quail is most commonly used in
these prize competitions, and the bird
dealers who stock the fighting kind do
good trade among the natives. 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 those
shops, and select those birds that seem
Quarrelsome to the other inmates of
the cage. For the small additional fee
Of five cents in our money the privi-
lege is given of selecting from the
stock in hand.
Only the male birds are used, the
females being placed in their cages
within sight of the battle royal to en-
courage their mates to fight. This
they readily do by means of peculiar
whistle. The natives have side stakes
on the fight, but the only consolation
the winning bird receives for perhaps
a few bruises and good shaking up
| is a liberal feed of delicacies.

Brown, rambling into the kitchen
later in the day, "that we will have
