Show Noise That Annoys Not Liege is, at this time of the year, the center of n sport which has no followers elsewhere. Attending cock-crowing competitions is one of the ways iu which the l!el-gian l!el-gian artisan spends part of his leisure. Soecial roosters are bred for these contests, and that which outcrows his fellows is adjudged the winner. The roosters are placed in cages, each of which is set an inch or so from its neighbors. This proximity, it seems, produces that spirit of rivalry without which the affair would fall flat. A marker is appointed for each bird, bis job being to note the number of crows made. As a rule a match lasts an hour. . i |
