EAGLE. WITH DOG IN TALONS,
SCARS HIGH ABOVE NEW YORK

New York. Nov 26.-Pedestrians IN
Riverside Park and along the drive
paused this afternoon to watch what
seemed to them an extraordinary
small airplane 1t was sharply silhou-
cited against the clouds at height
of 1900 feet or 50, and the astonish-
ment of the observers grew as the
machine apparently lowered,
thing that airplanes can't do yet.
A woman in an apartment ut lo4lh
street and West End avenue, noticing
the sky-gazing crowds, got out a pair
of field glasses to gain closer view.
What she saw through the binoculars
led her to turn to Il telescope, and
then she had revealed to her Il most
CnuSual spectacle.
The "airplane" was in reality an
eagle riding on the stiff northwest
breeze. and bearing in its talons
terrier. Whether it was small Are
dale or IN Irish terrier, the woman
could not he sure, but it plainly was
= dog. and as she watched she could
see the great bird strike with its beak
ut the eyes of its prey, or at the base
of its skull.
For ten minutes the woman watch
ed the strange sight. She lowered her
telescone then for moment, and
when she scanned the heavens again
the eagle was lost in the clouds.
