from the arena upon the back of his steed while it was'
in the very act of leaping a five-barred gate, seemed as
easy as it was graceful, and wonderful-. We scarcely

THE lIIPPOPOTAMITS.

The property of these gardens has now chaaged hands,
and a limited liability tompany has obtained the lease.
.They have been able to secure, for a time, the valuable
services of Mr.; John Atkins, as managing caterer, ori
behalf a the public—a sufficient guarantee for the
future encouragement and success of the gardens, -
The company has been equally fortnnate secnring-
a large portion of the land iminedilitelY cOntignous;
which it is intended to add to the present site, by which,
in course of tithe; the extent of the :gardena will be
doubled; and it is only fair to antieipate that other
features of attraction ,will be increased in a like ratio.

We observe .the gardens are to be 'opened to the public
on an early day, and that 'one of the most interesting
subjects in natural history is to be the great attraction
