A TIGER HUNT. When Prince Phillipe of Orleans and his nephew. Prince Henry, were entertained in 1889 by Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India, 



with a Tiger hunt, they met with the remarkable adventure shown in the picture. A Tigress, whose two cubs had been killed by the party, sprang out of 

 ■the jungle on the foremost Elephant. The Mahut (Elephant driver) dexterously slid down the side of the Elephant's head in time to save himself, and the 

 infuriated beast grasped the Prince's gun as she alighted on the Elephant's neck. Fortunately the gun was simultaneously discharged, and the report 

 frightened the Tigress, who then made her escape and was next day killed by the party. This picture, which was drawn from the account given by the 

 Prince himself, is not presented as representing in detail the characteristics of the Tiger, but rather as a valuable illustration of the animal's boldness and 

 also of an interesting mode of hunting it.
