Two large wolye are sufficient to eb--'troy the-trrent powerful borse, and ldu more than two ever begin the assault, although . there may be I erc 7n the gang. It is no lea curi ous thso amusing to witness, this ingenious mode of attack.

After some time spent in thi way, the two as sailant seperute, when one approehc the horse's head, the other bis tttil, with a shyness ami cun njng peculiar to themselves. At thi' tdttge of tbo attack, their Jrolicsoote approaches become very interesting it i io rigut good earncet ; the foraicr is a mere decoy and the latter is tbe real assailant, and keep hi eye tdily fiscd on the ham-string or flank of the horse.
