A TERRIBLE CoMBAr-Two Hons, two leopards and tame black panther have for some months been kept in one cage in Bar num's Hippodrome. The lions are separated from their companions through the night by iron bars, in the day time the bars are with drawn, and the animals form 'happy fam ily."
 No sooner were the bars taken out yester- day morning than the leopard made spring for the panther's throat. The panther was young, but his muscles were like iron and his skin as thick as sole leather, and he struck the leopard blow with one of bis fore paws that laid him sprawlng on the floor of his cage. In an instant the leopard was on his feet again, and the animals stood face to face. For fully a minute they glared. and then, with shock that nearly turned the cage on its side, they met again, each trying to grasp the other by the throat.
 The employees of the hippidrome, attrcted by the noise of the conflict, tried, with bars and spears, to separate the combatants, but without avail; seasoned spears were snapped in two like straws, and even the keeper of the animals dared not approach the cage.
 The leopard with an unexpected spring, fixed himself on the panther's back, and ta- king the loose skin on the back of the latter's neck between his teeth, gave the panther a toss against the bars of the cage that bent the thick iron bars nearly double.
 For minute there was great danger that all the beasts in the cage would escape. The top of the cage was broken, and the floor was split But the battle was over; for the pan ther, without a sound, struck the floor of the cage lifeless.
 But the leopard was not satisfied with the death of his antagonist. No sooner was he convinced that he could approach with safety than, seizing the panther's head detween his fore paws, he gave him tearing with the sharp claws of his hind feet that nearly strip ped the skin from his body. Then he began with his teeth and before the employees could interfere nearly half of the dead panther had beer eaten by the leopard.
 When at length sufficient force had been collected around the cage, the keeper who had tanned the panther entered the cage. There upon the floor lay his pets silky black skin, almost entire. His body not yet cold, quiv- cred, and his eyes glared. The leopard crouched in a corner of the cage, satisfied with his meal The iron bars were soon re- placed and the leopard was prevented from doing further mischief.
 At the afternoon performance the leopard was so unruly that it was deemed unsafe for the trainer to enter the cage; but the bars were kept in their places, and no more dam- age was done.-IN. Y. SUN.
