GAME FOWLS. 



BLA.CE BREASTED RED GAME FOWLS. 



This noble race has relationship, though now of reniote gener- 

 ations, with thejyialays. Before we had any of this breed, the 

 inhabitants of several portions of the Malay or Malacca peninsula, 

 and various parts of the-Bast, possessed them, and used them 

 chiefly ft(r the purpose of cock-fighting. 



A thorough-bred Game cock of high degree never fails in 

 courage when opposed to one of his own order. And the Game 

 -fowl js the only bird put to the test of combat to prove whether 

 he be genuine or not. ^ .
