On one of the wide
streets of Peking a fair was in
progress. Here I saw several falcons with loaded
quarrels on their wrists. These birds are used
here for catching hares & game birds for the market
the price of ammunition to secured game being much
greater than the marked price of the game so
that maintaining is the method which alone can
be successfully employed today.
