(■A A ^Sportsmen I'hink Lion Meat is 1 enderKabbit Washington, April 1.—Pay no attention to the dale, it was mountain lion that Ira N. Gabriel- son. chief of the Bureau of Bi ological Survey, served today to 20 Capital sportsmen. Served with brown rice and crackling bread, it looked just like roast veal. William A., Van Dtizer. vraffic director of the District of Colum bia, took the first bite. AATien he nodded appn val, others fol lowed; California cougar is tender (or this one was). Knives were not needed. A fork cut the food. Unlike some kinds -of wild game, the meat was not stringy, nor did it have a strong gamey taste. “This must be an April's fool joke,” suggested one of the din ers. “No it isn’t," said Gabrielson, 'on that I swear.” The guests were asked to de cide what it tasted like. Ballots were taken around the table. There were a few votes for veal, one for pork. But most a- greed that mountain lion tasted like rabbit. Tou.^h going calls for extra power!
