Coles Great New York and New
Orleans Geological and Equestrian
Exposition.

As will be seen by an advertisement in our
columns to-day, this immense institution ex-
hibits in our city Thursday, July ID, 1874. It
comes most favorably noticed By the press in
other cities. By review of the advertise
ments, We perceive it comes by Rail, using 60
freight cars to transport it from place to place.
Has an innumerable number of cages, dens,
wagons, ETC., TO contain its animals, curiosi-
ties, luggage, etc. It requires and uses a
getty OF tents" $50 to express it) for exhibition
purposes, which at night are so brilliantly lit
up with gas, that everything is as discernable
as in day. Among the animals enumerated
is a amonster living Alaska sea lion, the larg-
est ever captured, exhibited in mammoth
tank, holding 40 barrels of sea water" This
will be truly novel sight, as they are the on
ly ones now alive outside of the Pacific ocean.
We notice the announcement of the "blaze
box. the African hartebest, the gnu or wild
horned horse, the wapiti, the giant ostrich, all
of which are very rare and interesting ami
mails. Also lions, tig srs, elephants, camels,
hyenas, kangsroos, crocodiles, sacred cattle,
gorillas, manatees, first ever exhibited,) koo-
docs, condors, vultures, vlacke Yarkes,

reptiles, etc.
