Duanateh to London Times, Mosnpra Guat, Fob. 27.—The number of tigera killed shows how plentiful the boasts are. Hat- urday was e blank day, fortune Prince and his party roturnod to camp without having had any sport, though lod by Kir Jung himsoif. It ap- pears that sho camp elephants and camole fad got on the ground and spoilt tho shooting. The e00- ond party, which wont ont for goneral shooting, in charge of Mr. Mooro, Magistrate of Daroilly, Was moro fortunate. In beating scross a grassy plain thoy came upon a fine tl gor, which was making for fue Jungle, when Bir. Mooro fired at and bit it. As thoy closed on in purauit the tiger turned on tho elephants, spraug on tho hoad aod tlds of Mr. Robluson's, placing one olaw on tho rifle, 80 that he conld not fire, and the other on the howhat door, and tearing the mahout's leg. ‘Tho olephant swang around, the howdal door flaw opsu, aud tho tiger fell off, but sprang at theelopkant again and clawod it cruoliy, till it was kicked off by tho frightened beast, It then leaped up at once on tho hoad of Col, Lillis’ elephant, and was toar- fog the mauout down, wheo Col. Ellis, Joaning down over the howdah, coolly tired, with, the muzzlo almost touching the tor, which dropped dying on tho ground, but not till it had. Inceratod the man’s knoo and log, Kurgoon Kel- Jott drossed tho mon's wounds on tho spot, and the injured eclopbants wero sent back to camp. Another tiger wan started, and killed {n the open half on hour afterwards. Indian sportemon prido thomselyes on stopping 8 tigor before it can injuro matont or clephant; bnt in the pras- cnt cage tho grasa was #0 long, and the charyos wero so endden, that it was scarcely possible to |- do so, All this took but s few seconds, aud waa most exciting while ft Insted. ° ‘The greatoat snort onjoyod by the Princo, and which all the party shared in, was on Friday last, whon 4 wild oiophant was captured aftor a day's spoit fall of interest and hard work. The modo of taking clopbants is pecultar to Nepanl. Train- ed clopbants, famous for fighting prowess, aro kept on purpose, and when a bord of wild ones aro marked down in tho jungle, huntora go out with an army of beators on awift pad olophants and try to break up tho herd or to close on them, so an to allow timo for tho fight ing clophanta to como up and ongage the wild champions till thoy aro oxhanst- ed or ara hobvied with ropos aa they aro engsged in combat, Nows came that @ very sav- ago old tusker was in tho woods about 7 milos oway. ond Sir Jung Baladoor mado arrango- ments to havo him watched for the Princo of Wales, who etarted with Sir Jung and hts multe about 8 o'clock on Friday morning on horgoback, and rodo st first through a moat charming for- est towards the scone of action. Tho path, winding under tho shado of magnificent saul, pocpul, and mango trees, interlaced by Bigantio eroepers and climbing plants, was guarded by poldlors atfotervals foralltho way. At 10 tha party, which was lod by Bir Jang, riding boldly and well down tho river-beds, across torrents aud water-cuts, belted, and nows was brought fu thas the old male olopuant was only a few, miles off, and was coming down towards tho tain from tho wooded hills above us. Tho Princo, splondidly mountod on one of Sir Jung's Arabs, fortuuately resolved tofremain on horse back instead of Betting ou a pad claphant, ox waa proposed by Sir Jung. Tho fighting olo- phants wora sont for, but the huge crea- tures travel slowly, and it was more than an hour bofore the word was given to mount, Another rattling canter brought the Princo to tho wido bed of a river, in which a torrent ran oyor a stony bed, lesuing from o wooded gorgo in the mountaius close at hand, and it was .| hoped tho olophout wouid descond by thia route, and be fought with and wrercomo in the opou. ‘Tho horses wore sont back bo same way. ‘Tho Princo took a soat on the billalds. sSoldicra wore rout up the ravine. In half an hour Sir Jong jumped on a man's back, and was carriod down tho hillside and to the opposite side of the ravino to Beo tho cause of tha delay, Ho camo back in tho same way, with tho nows that tho elophant had broken out, and was com- jug down auothber ravine, which wo bad crossed before passing tho river. Mount and away sgain was the order, and this time at full speod, It was wonderfat how tho boraes kept their feot, with suddon checks at deep nutlahs, filled with bowlders, stumps, fallen treos, and liko obstacles. Tho party dismounted on tho sido of tho ravine indicated. Sir Juog was vory anxious leat tho olephant abould como down, when, bo said, uo man's lifa would bo worth a ico. ‘Iho Princo, Lord Alfred Pagot, Prince ouis of Battonborg, and others, mounted one tres, where s stand was hastily mado. All woro obliged to take similar shelter, and thore was maothor long walt. Mossengera camo in to say that tho olephant had crouaod higher up, and wos making for a deep swamp. All desconded, apd, tho Princo aod Sir Jung lend- ing. dashed off onco more, carcering alougside of the pad olephanta, which wero being urged at full spood on tho track of the runaway, In half on hour the party emerged from o wood on tho plain’ of burnt ‘reeds and grass, above which towered the monstor elophant, his tail straight out, his proboscis curlod up, running, aud evi- dantly tired, With view haftoos and choars, tho horsemen pursued him; while the pad elophanta camo trumpeting up in tho rear, the drivorsstand- ing on their backs, holding on with ono hand and beating them with sticka and mallets in tho other, ‘hewild olephant stopped short, sur- voyed the Lorscmen, oad rushed at the noarcst with incredible speed. “Vly for your livew; took out for tho Princa!” shouted Sir Jung, an: inasccond, Princo, Poor, aud commoner were scouring through tho grasa and reods ag fast as horsca could carry thom, This was ropoated again and sgain, for the clophant’s rons wero short, and ho pe up speedily, but ho camo very ucar rd bofiold and Mr. Roso on ono oceasion, and unplossantly neor to the Princo and othera also, All this time the tighting elephants wore nowhoro, aud, in spite of all horsomen and pad elphants could do, the wild one, who hsd ono enormous tusk aud the stump only of tho other, broke away {nto a marsh, whoro he was soon to lic down ina pool of water. The Prince diemounted, and, with his party, waitod till tho fighters came up. Juog Porshaud ot last appeared, advanced into tho swamp, and at once cpgaged his onomy. ‘The combat was short, for the wild one was overwhalined, vast a8 ho was, by the prodigiona bul of tho victor in a hundred fights. Ho turned and fied, and-Jung YPorahaud could not overtake hint, Tho pursuit on horee- back was roucwod, and alter » most oxtracr- dinary run the wild ono was driven out of 5 wood by yolloya of bad langusgs, principally addressed to him by Sir Jung Babadoor, Tho elephant thon advanced into the open to on- gago Bijli Porshaud, tho eocond eee olo- phant, aud met his conqueror, BIijli dofeated bia utterly, knooked him over, battored Lim syainst a tree, and finally so beat bim over the hoad that he was hobbled after eoveral attempt and declarod a prisoner. 1t wes then dicovere ho had only one so Jung posed he should wot at liborty, if tha Princa wished, after tho tusk had boon sawod off, Finally he was moorod to a” tree aud hia head sccurod, and we loft him guarded by clophante at night, Lis tuak, » boau- tiful piece of ivory, boiug brought iu and pre- sented by Bie Jung to tue Princa at camp fire.
