ed Impossible
Water buffaloes, or carabaoes. are
the combatants In these struggles
: Two bullocks are matched against
each other, and after being led to
where they stand, head to head, tltry
are made to lock horns. At the sua?

to push the other backward. A rta*

who reoently returned from aa «xten>t

once saw aMg of war In which one
water buffalo by n.. uia of a rnf tl"l
around Its boras milled ten husit/
American r- Iters after him.
"Although the domeetlcated care tnn

to a fight. Not until they have been
made to crash their heads together a

of continuing the conflict of their own
accord-

around them with a diameter of ah.»ut
twenty feet, and then be compelled »o
retreat as close to the line itaelf Hev
eral times I thought the smaller eera
bao was defeated, but In each Instance
It kept one foot within the ring.
Whenever either carabao tried to
break away and use Its horns to gore
Its adversary It was Imaten savagely
over the nose and Its murderous de
signs frustrated. Neither datto desir

might buy another for |76. to him the

ramming Its adversary with Its bead.
It uses Its horn* so skillfully as to
kill Its enemrv and Is dreaded even
by the tiger. A favorite eport among
Indian princes Is to corral a wiuer
buffalo with a tiger and watch th.-m
fight. As a general thing the buffalo
la the victor, for It pursues Its enemy
relentlessly, giving it no opportunity
to get Its breath and parrying the
great cat's plungea with Its sharp
