Bulls Battle at Banff

The Athletic Grunde of the Band Springs ilotel have recently been taken possession of several bull el. Whether or not instinct has informed these burdiy animals of the purpose for which the grounds ere ronstrel, x dubgialle. Denn it is though, that on the spot where Bust September, during the Highland Gathering, famous athlets dis- nly their prostre in mpetition, and where next September more wd the same, the latest tens of the athletic grounds are dis- 1gh their battling powers. Sometimes with lucked horns they rock back ad forth; occasionly one gets slight advantage and forces his pponent: at other times with their lowered noses as pivets they airele and it, then suddenly aisentangle as though to gaze around them. They do not thus fool each other however, for like human boxers one eye always watching the other for an opening. Suddenly, with lowered head, one darts in but his opponent is prepared and the horns lock with a crash that can be heard some distance away. Anon, tired of the fight the two strp amiably side-by-side to the nearest grass-plot and there, houlder to shoulder, commence feeding. It then dawas on the human spectator that the battle was merely a "han fight" a result of the xuberance of spirit that all animals feel in the spring. Generally there tre a few cows watching the "baltla". The elle ladies make poor fans, they appear phlegmatic and disinterested. Maybe, from their feminine point of view, it is all nonsense-sheer vanity of the male so they view it with indulgent albeit slightly contemptuous tolerance. The buils however, keep seriously to the business in hand, oblivics:s té passing mutemoliiles or interested humans who get as near them as prudence .crmita.
