A royal elepaaur, fight in Burmah l? thus described : There were fifteen el phants ou a side. A pair of them an? nevar started alone at a fight. The fights are always arranged for the amusement of the nobles, and are great events. The battle is terrific The elephants are given toddy, made out of the fermented juice of the palm, vhicb they drink out of buckets. Jers-y lightning is like water com pared to the stuff. It makes the ele phauts ree! and tumble about like drunken men. They snort and trump et and create a terrible racket. In the fight at Theyatmo the mahouts or driven straddled their necks and urjed them on. The beasts had been maddeued byprodiing and beating and rushed at each other like mad. There weresome that wheeled around and ran away, but those that kept on made the earth ?hake when they came together. They ran right into each "tb=r.

In Burmah fights take place between elephants and tigers. King Thebau has men fiuht tigers. The Barina in power are cruel. One king used to make the people lie down for his pony to walk over.
