He was netted for Lord Lans-<lb />downe te shoot when his excellency<lb />visited Mysore a few years ago and isa<lb />splendid brute. TheT dairy is a very<lb />large yard, with open sheds all round,<lb />in which the cattle are tied, the tigerTs<lb /><lb />tain near the other. The tiger got out<lb />about seven p. m. ahd calmly strolled<lb />around, the pluce being full of cattle |<lb />and people at the time; but,fortunate-<lb />ly, he had no desire whatever to taste.<lb />stall-fed beef, or. Hindoo either, al- |<lb />though he passed within a few. feet of |<lb />the cows and the men, and after cxam- |<lb />ining them all quietly lay down by the |<lb />fountain. |<lb /><lb />By nine oTclock a couple of elephants |<lb />brought down the nets and a cordon |<lb />was run around the place, preventing |<lb />the tiger eseaping or getting at tire |<lb />cattle, when two rather amusing inci- |<lb />dents occurred. A cow managed to get.<lb />into the yard, and after skipping about |<lb />for some time rushed into a part of the |<lb /><lb />net closest to the tiger; and for some |<lb />time struggled frantically to get loose.<lb />Kvery one fully expected that the cow |<lb />~would be killed. Finally, however, a<lb />number. of men went out and held the |<lb />wretched animal down and removed |<lb />the net. Hardly was this over when a,<lb />splendid stud bull got over a part.of |<lb />~the net which had fallen down,andafter |<lb />~careening about the yard just as the cow |<lb />had done, rushed right up to the foun- |<lb />tain and' dipped his nose into the wa- |<lb />ter. Evidently he had no idea the tiger |<lb />~was there or he would never have gone |<lb />up in.the style he did. However, after |<lb />drinking, he looked up, when the tiger, |<lb />who could not have been more than a |<lb />few feet away, owoughed� in his face, |<lb />and the way that bull went away after<lb />that did oneTs heart vood to see.
