A young lion, about nino months’ old, escaped from the Onehunga Zoo on Christmas Day. It entered an adjoining paddock, whore two cows and a calf were grazing. One of the cows chased the lion, which took refuge in a hedge, where it was found about two hours later by a search party. A returned soldier, who was with the party, lassooed 'the beast, which up to the moment of capture had been tame enough, but when caught showed fight. The lion was taken back to its cage. “NO RUBBING ” * Baundrv • Help, Is ; “GOLDEN RULE” Soap, is 3d. The delight of Thrifty wives.—Hunter and Etheridge (Ltd.).
