W. G. Coup who originated the Barnum
Show, whose ideas Induced Barnum to
sell his museum and enter the circus field !;
it was Coup who built the New York
Aquarium, where he exhibited living
whales from Labrador. Coup sent the
first and only whale to the London Aquar-
sum for which he received So, 10000, 1t
was Coup who brought the Devil fish to
the n. y. Aquarium. This monster, whose
tentacles were 80 feet long, brought scien-
fists from Europe 10 see it. Coup's ideas

one unprincipled fellow having two cars

ing upon the reputation Of the N. Y.
Aquarium This charlatan probably
never saw the N. Y. Aquarium and has
no authority to use its name. Coup built
the first II r Train for the transportation
of circus aid took the Id circus out of
the mud and placed the performers and
laborers in palace cars.
1t was Coup who first introduced in this
country hurdle, Roman standing, jockey
and Indian pony races In Hippodrome

American people, under canvass the
thrilling exhibition of blooded horses

messed on n race course. 1t was W. G..
Coup who raised the standard of tent
shows from ordinary circuses and menag-
cries to congresses of living wonders; to
gigantic hippodromes so justly celebrated
in Roman history. Coup's genius and
enterprise Was the admiration of the Am
eFican public, and strange to say this vent
uresome manager like all pioneers had to
stand aside owing to the financial embar-
assment, caused by envious competitors
and conspirators, and let the humbuggers
take up the business he built and coined
money by It.
