A fight took place between a tiger, and a lion in the Jungle, New City Road, Glasgow, early on Saturday morning. Two tigers had been left in possession of the arena, and one of the trainers in passing opened the door of the tigers cage, which he was unaware was at the time occupied by one of the Nubian maneless lions. Before the mistake could rectified the animals had closed, the tiger fastening his teeth in the right jaw of the lion. The trainer, by firing blank cartridges from his revolver distracted the animals attention and in the pause that followed both animals were successfully shut up in separate cages. The Trainer procured assistance, and after securely roping the lion to the front bars of the cage he stitched up the wound in the beast's jaw.
