136 MODERN PIG-STICKING 



If their bags were not enormous they were at 

 any rate varied. Almost the last entry in the 

 Hunt records relates how the Tent Club met at 

 Jatrapore on the 13th, 14th, and 15th February 

 1891, and killed four boar on the first two days. 

 On the 15th, George Walker and Allan Arthur 

 crossed ten elephants over the Ganges to Katlabari 

 and killed two tiger the same day, and one tiger 

 the following day. 



In October 1870, when hunting at Ranaghat, 

 the Club rode and killed a black buck and doe. 



At the Christmas Meet of the same year H.E. 

 Lord Mayo was present, and eight boar were killed 

 and a tiger was viewed, but not shot. 



At Christmas 1874 at Rajbari seven boar were 

 killed, and two buffalo were shot. 



On 18th and 19th February 1882, four boar were 

 killed on Goalundo chur and two buffalo were shot. 



On 7th and 10th February 1886, on the same 

 ground, four boar were killed and two buffalo were 

 shot. 



On 25th and 26th January 1890 at Mogal Hat 

 seven boar and two leopard were speared and killed. 

 McKie killed the first leopard on the 25th without 

 much difficulty. Alston killed the second leopard 

 on the following day. She turned to bay in a bush 

 and charged out at every one who came near her, 

 mauling a horse badly before she was finally killed. 



I think in the early days the boar must have run 

 larger than they do now, as I find it recorded that 

 out of seven boar killed at Belgatchie on 22nd and 

 23rd February 1879 two measured 38| and 37i 

 inches respectively. 



One of the largest bags ever made by the Tent 

 Club seems to have been at Patkabari on 20th and
