ated.
On entering the cagethe lioness (Afrlcan) sprang
upon the bull, almost leapIng over him. Thiswas
evidently In play, as she did not attempt 10 bite
or scratch him. This first round was watched
with breathless silence, but the crowd became dis
gusted when then animals separated and canter-
ed off in opposite directions After d few minutes
of quiet fun the bull began to watch the antics of
his opponent az he rushed around the cage, and
he charged at her furiOusly several times. She
managed to escape him each time, however, for
about five minutes
Atlength the bull made an extraordinary charge
and catching the lioness on his horns tossed her
about six feet in the air. then incliDing his head
little he caught her again on his horns as she
came down, twirling her about In the air, and
flung her some twenty feet away from him The
lioness fell to the ground like log, and lay mo-
tiOnless for about halfa minute She was stunn'
ed. When she recovered she glanced hastily at
the bull then dashed against the cage, as If she
desired to escape. The bull, evidently desirous Of
completing the victory, again charged the unfOr'
tunate queen" tossed her higher than before,
and, as she fell gored her almost to death. She
was tOrs du combat, and the bull. not having re-
ceived scratch, was let out of the arena. The
liOness will die
Tomorrow Sunday "Old George" the lion,
will attack the bull and, as he nearly broke out
of his cage to get at the victorious native Of
Texas to-day 1t is probable the fight will be long
and fierce.
