Dig Cut "lVoiiglird" In 111a I ter, Tlicro was considerable exoito- '4 ment at Mysore recently. One of k the maliara jab's tigers got loose and A was not. rocapturod for ovor 48 (' hours. Allowing tigers nnd athor wild animals to oscnpo out of oonfinonnmt scorns a common ovont in , Mysoro. During the timo of the late fll'llllro noli rrrtf r\ti 4- P 1* *? "??"??! V'llU ji,v/u WUU wi nil? VJil^U in tho menagerie, and also during /' * his fntlior's reign a tigor loafed a*i over tho fort a wliolo day, going in and out of people's houses; but, strango to say, on nono of tboso oocasions has any ono boon injured. Tlio tigor in tho present instance is ono which is kept by his highness' dairy to kocp away tho "evil oye!' from tho oattlo. Ho was nettod for Lord Lansdowno to shoot whon his excellency visittnl Mysore a> fow years ago and is a splend'd bruto. Tho dairy is a very largo ysnd, with open sheds all round, in which tho oattlo aro tiod, tho tiger's cago being close to ono end and a fountain near tho other. Tho tiger got out about 7 p. m. and calmly strollod around, tho placo being full of cattlo and pooplo at tho time; but, fortunately, ho had no dosiro whatever to tasto stall fod boof or Hindoo oithor, although ho pnssod wffi 1_ ;> ^ tho wrffBKi $lie men, > "ana after examining tbora all quiet1\T 1 OTf f~\ AtT?Tl 1\tr 4-V> r* s.j vivwa* *jj iuu i.uuuiaiu. ^ By 9 o'clock ft oouplo of elephants m brought down tlio nets and a cordon ^ was run around tho placo, preventing tho tigor escaping or getting at tho cattlo, when two rather amusing incidents occurred. A cow managed to got into tho yard, and aftor skipping about for some time rushed into a part of tho not closest to tho tiger, and for somo time struggled most frantically to got looso.
