t turned an opportunity wuu given to the
visitors to look at :lie wanderfull collection
of animals eaostetting the menagerie, the
eight of whihob is : nrth more than the price
of admission. Among the greatest attrac
tions were the two-horned rhinoceros and
the hihp opotame bog. Around the csae
containiug the rare animals was at all
times a dease crowd. A Sooth Amertcn
tapir occupied another cage, while a huge
elephant and three or four camels or drome
daries were clse by. A beauotifully striped
-bra alaso appered to come n r a share
of admiration, as did also the royal Bengal
tiger and the pretty leopard. Biti birds
and monkeys were there Is pruofsion. A
villainous looking hyena soeupied half a
cage, the other part being filled by a mild
lokintg Peruvian llams. A wbitsyak-from
Tartary, a nyl gih u fom Afca, a bhte
-,e.k from Africa, a bleu bak and an ibex

male, the name and classfication of which
have slipped our memory, go toward making
the menagerie just everything that is
claimel for it iin the way of bei ng irt-elass.
Mr. Woodnd ('tonk, who is claimed to be
the let somersault artist that ever mounted
the back of a lying stesd, acquitted him
self with great credit, as did also Mr. DV
crow, the huardle rider but the palm was
carried of by Master Charley Watson, who
in, for his aga, the beat bare-backed rider
that lhas. ever visited this section of the
country, natd he bids fair to take the place
of elatn celeblritits as Vtunes iRohlen and
