FIGHT BETWEEN TWO TIGERS AND A LION IN
THE TOWER.

Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Friday morning, as the mar.

per tier of cells, which separated the den of a huge lion from one ill
which there were a Bengal royal tiger and tigress. The lion instantly
erected his mane, and with a tremendous roar sprang at the tiger. The
tiger was equally eager for the combat, and in a paroxysm of fury, flew
at his assailant, whilst the tigress fiercely seconded her mate. The
roaring and yelling of the combatants resounded through the yards,
and excited in all the various animals the most lively demonstratiom
of fear or rage.
The timid tribes shivered with dread, and ran round their cages
shrieking with terror, whilst the otherglions and tigers, with the bears,
leopards, panthers, wolves, and hyenas, flew round their dens, shaking
the bars with their utmost strength. The lion fought bravely, but
was overmatched, having to contend with two adversaries not more than
a year from the woods, whilst he had been upwards of seven years it
confinement. The battle raged with doubtful success, until the tip':
'seized the lion by the throat, and dung him on his back, when after
rolling over each other several times, the exasperated tigress pinned her
enemy against the veranda.
In that situation the prostrate lord of the forest still struggled with an
indomitable spirit, roaring with agony and rage. teed hot iron rods had
been heated, the ends of which were now applied to the mouths
and nostrils of the infuriated tigers, who, were by this means
forced to relinquish their grasp ; but no sooner was the separation
effected than the lion and the tiger seized in their mouths—the one
upper, and the other the lower jaw of his antagonist, biting and tugging
at each other with deadly fury. With the greatest difficulty, by elicit..
serdon into their nostrils of the glowing iron, could they be disengaged
and the lion driven back to his cell, the door of which was ir.stantly
closed upon him. The battle lasted full half an hour. The tiger
the last onset lost one of his tusks, but the poor lion was severely yet-
