MALAY BULLFIGHT
Beaten Boast Is Butchered to Help
v -AlonsJ sii Oriental 4 Hpllday.; v
. 0,; From the'. Strait's Echo. 1
Last Sunday I witnessed a ' buffalo
fight for the first time In my life. , It
was at Battt Baker, in Kedah, where
such exhibitions are a matte of weekly
occurrence.- The animals fought in an
enclosure about 100 feet square and sur
rounded on every side by. raised plat
form for those of the spectators who
tare to pay for their sport.
Thousands of others packed them
selves close In the arena itself peril
ously close it seemed to me and wit
nessed the fight without payment
These swayed this way and. that with
tne progress 01 tne rtgni sometimes, 1
am told, - the spectators number as
many as 10.000: on this occasion there
were Derween 6000 .and tooo present
Business began in earnest as soon as
the combatants were loosed. Their
heads came together with a thud, they
separated, came together- agatn and
iusnd and strained for an advantage,
n all this wild pushing and straining
one saw that the combatants were ma
neuvering to Bring their norns into play.
Again their heads came together, and
this time the favorite worked one of
his horns until the tin of it was Veil
under his opponent's neck.. . ;-
Wltn a sudifen Jerk Howard he lifted
the other buffalo clean off his fore
feet. Slowly he turned around almost
a complete circle, his opponent mean
while being Impaled on one of his horns.
ofher buffalo's forefeet found ground
again. '
At once the wounded, animal snatched
himself out of danger 'and managed to
gore the favorite in the eye. Maddened
with pain and rage, the favorite bore
down bis opponent with the sheer fury
of his attack. ' The latter fled. The
fight had lasted 15 minutes.
He flees only to die. The owner of
the victorious buffalo slaughters him,
cuts him up, distributes the meat among
his friends and sends the entrails, the
muzzle, the tall and other parts of the
animal to his previous owner. A quaint
custom Is observed. The owner of the
loser fires off a gun as soon as he re
ceives his "present" as an intimation
that he will get another buffalo within
the year to match the victor. The pen
alty should he not fulfill his words is
$100. a like sum being handed over to
him should the bull he challenged not
be forthcoming to meet his new compet
itor. '
The Congregation of One.
. ., From the London Globe.
From a mission In Mull with 40 a
year, Dr: Cameron IJees went to one of
the remotest parishes In the Highland
the parish of Carnoch a shadow of a
congregation. The -people had been all
swept Into the free cherch, and a hand
ful' only were' left -In- the- "Moderate
Kirk."" There on "one stormy Sunday
the young minister preached to a con
gregation of one, The Gaelic aervlee
was the first service of the day, and
only one man, Macrae by name Macrae,
of Acnlorachau, came to the Gaelic
service. The minister went out and
asked htm to come into the manse and
wait for the English service, but the
Gaelic congregation declined. 'The
promise," said Macrae, "Is this: Where
two or three are gathered in my name,
and where the two or three will be there,
too. will be the blessing; and I am one
and you are two and we will Just go on
with the service." And the service did
go on, snd the young minister preached
to the Gaelic congregation of one.

almost too serious to be treated Jesting
