ostum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—"Fleetwlng,"
one of the racing ostriches brought to
the Queene-Naetau county fair at Min
ed*, L. I., by William W. Ford, of
Tampa, Fla., committed suicide yester
day, and another of the big birds filled
the fair ground with excitement by
running away and scaling the race track
fence In a half-mile dash.
When Ford was ready to begin the
day's proceedings yesterday he ordered
’Bill," one of the negro attendants, to
remove "Fleetw lng." the most valuable
of the birds, from Its crate. "Bill" de
murred. for last Sunday while ht was
engaged In that same operation the
ostrich got away and he had the hard
est task of hta life getting him back.
Since then "Bill" has cherished a deep
respect for that ostrich.
Finally the attendant started for the
box to carry out Iho order*, but at
sight of hla face "Fleetwing" set up a
shrill cry and snapped hla legs against
the side* of his cage. When the negro
neared him the ostrich stretched his
long neck -and beat his head against ths
siats.
Ford and others sprang to the crate,
but the bird's efforts to end his life did
not cease until he had gouged out one
eye and fallen unconscious. Ford sum
moned a physician, who attended the
Injured bird, but he died four hours
later. "Fleetwlng" waa six years old
and said by hla owner to be worth
15.000.
Later In the day an ostrich race was
held on the race course, with "Fleet-
foot” and "Miss Florida” competing.
Both birds were hitched to sulkies.
Ford drove the latter and "BIH” the
former. When the stretch was reached
"Fleetfoot” Jumped the fence, leaving
sulky and driver behind. The advent
of the oetrich among the various ex
hibits caused a cessation of other'forms
of amusement, for all tho spectators
either chased or were chased by the
flying ostrich.
He hopped over lemonade stands and
souvenir tables, thru coffee booths and
cattle tents, until he had everything In
the lnclosure In motion. In an evil
moment he ran Into a number of stalled
automobiles and before he c-ould renew
his flight his pursuers were upon him.
