A TIGER ~9 M3 AT.
“There was a famous tiger—a monster
fa tiger—name I Kig ■, who ha lir
implied at L'lcknow on several occasions
Ie was cei tainly one of t he largest I h tvt
ver seen; ati 1 beautifully streaked will
• i>. glossy coat, as it moved freely over ids
uupcul ir limbs and long ba. k. The con
mi/Wfriiis in sport had de*paired of tindiiu,
fii iug adveis.iry for K igra, when new
rive t that a tiger of enormous size an
Veng'li had been take: , uninjured, in the
I ral—tlie long trip of jungle-land !?•
veen Oude and Nepaul just at the foot ot
the Ilmi.tlayas. Ir wts amie-ip tied tiia
f iere would be glori'.ti- sport when th
t w monster was bro got face to fiee wit*
ie redoubted Kigri. * * x ’
*’Tiie cag. Bot Kigra, ari l Terai-walla
lie name given to tne new monster) Wei
• ought to opposite sides of the eonrt-yar
r ii commanded by our positions in th i
tilery. We could sec the long, shinim
ick-. of the tigers as they roamed tliei
♦ires in great excitement; occasionally
1 ere was a snarl and a display of teeth a
• lining to witness, as some attendant :iv
f/oaehed the cages. It was intended tha.
re animals should become aware of each
■ her, and hence the previous delay ; foi,
broeiou-as the tiger is, he is a cowardly
mmal, and, if brought unexpectedly into
>e presence of danger, may cower and re
reat from the contest. * * *
“The signal was given—the bamboo
railing in front of the cages rose simulta
lemi-dyon either bile—the doors of th*
ages opened. Terai wallah sprang, with
single bound, out of ids cage, opening
is huge j iws widely, and shaking from
ide t*r side his long tail in .-n excited way
v igra advanced more le surely into tin
ivna, but with similar demonstrations
They might have been fifty feet apart, a*
hey stood surveying each other, open
II mthed, the tails playing all the time.
Vr length K.igra advanced a few paces;
idversary Said himself down forthwith
upon 1 lie court yard, just where he stood,
•ring him, but with his feet Wei! urnlei
mn, not extendo i, evidently quite pre
..<1 ed for a spr ng. Kigra watched hisfo
i ><e illy, anu e>till auv.mced slowly am
cautiously, but n t in a straight line, rath
‘er toward tin* si !•*, describing an area of a
:iicle as he dre v near.”
“The Terai* wallah soon rose to his feet;
m , likewise advance*!, describing a .im
lar area < n t.l e oppO'ifeside; both g , a*iuat- i
iy approacniiig each other, however. It
vats a moment of breathless suspense in
the gallery. Every eye was fixed on the
two com Hitants as they tiius tried toed
cuiiivei.it each other; it was enough to ar-
attention, f-*r the. tigers were uurtsuai
ly large; both were in beautiful condition,
plump and muscular; the color of the IV
rai-wallah was somewhat lighter than thai
of Iv igra—a more yellowish hue shone be
tween the black stripes. Both were very
beautiful, and very courageous, and very
formidable.
“At length, as they thus advanced, step
by step, very slowly, Kagra made a spring
His form r victories had probably mad*
mm al. tile seif confident. He sprang, not
as if it were a voluntary effort ot his own,
>ut as if he were suddenly impelled ahdi
ty some uncon.reliable galvanic i"ivt
which he could not resist. The spring whs
sosuddpti, so rapid, so impetuous, that it
had quite tue appearance t being invol
untary. Tlie Terai*wallah was not unpre
pared. As rapidly as K igra hurled him
self up into the air, so rapidly did he jump

nonth plunged at the throat—when K igr
