SPORT IN SUMATRA.
Tigers and Buhaloes Engage In q Very
Tame Battle.

Tigers and Bufaloes Engage In Very
Tame Battle.
The following PARTICULARS of an Off
cial tiger and buffalo fight that took
| place at Padang Panjang, in the resi-
! dency of the west coast OF Sumatra, are
! given by the Batavia Nieuwsbald: The
assistant resident of the district had de-
| termined upon giving this performance
! to the people. owing to the capture of a
| large tigress in that neigh borhood. The
| tigress had vainly been offered to the
geological gardens at Batavia and Ans
terdaIn, and by the time of the fight
had lost much of her fierceness. The
people of the place got together stout
bamboCs to fence round the arena, a
circular piece of ground more than
thirty feet broad, with galleries for
spectators, who were charged admission
fees.
A few weeks before the fight the as
sistant resident secured tiger, and the
people provided two stout buffaloes to
measure themselves in the arena with
1t and the tigress. On the day of bat
tie crowds thronged the arena, into
which the tigress stepped at about ten
a. N. to meet a buffalo. The latter
quietly held its own against the tigress
which, reduced by her long imprison-
ment, showed no inclination for further
attack. To stir them up both ANIMALS
were pricked now and then with BAN
boo darts. The buffalo then got some
spear thrusts, the wounds being freely
drenched with extract of chillies. The
tigress was aroused by the application
of burning torches and crackers, and,
in short, every effort was made to give
the onlookers their moneys worth.
Despite all this neither buffalo nor
tigress would fight, so that in the end
orders were given to kill the tigress,
After her corpse had been removed the
second buffalo was let into the arena,
followed by the tiger This buffalo,
aided by it's c0mrade. attacked the
tiger, which soon had enough of it, and
sought safety by clambering up the
palisading until several spear thrusts
made it let 60. No amount of urging
with pricks, thrusts and FIRE proved of
any avail in arousing the champions to
battle until the prolonged torture Of
the tiger was ended by killing it with
spears Both corpSes were taken to the
assistant resident. but the skins proved
worthless from being scorched and
pierced. The spectators left disap-
pointed at seeing a fight which they
had paid So high to see. What would
be done with the balance OF the fees
after deducting expenses was not
known, but 1t was hoped that the gov
ernmcnt would spend 1t in relieving the
distress caused by a recent earthquake
there.

In common estimation hazard is a
chance. a risk. But IN the lifetime of a
word it sometimes loses its original in
tent and meaning. Hazard Is o good
instance of such mutation. When
Shakespeare said: Il have oet ny life
upon d cast and will stand the hazard
Of the die" the use Of the word IN
strictest sense was pathological, since
it is from the Arabic ALTAR, and more
recently from the Spanish szar. dIe-
SO, too, when person is heard 70
speak of a dream Of bliss" il should
be remembered that the AnFlo-Saxon
word dream" means Joy or bliss, and
so the speaker only says that he had
dream of dream or bliss Of bliss -
