sAnd can you tell me anything about

"Well,' he replied, 'sprices differ so

you that there is as much fashion in wild

sigh, s'for there are none now to be OBJ

whilst the last one l sold four years ago

s'And what animals are you going to
take to Chicago?" said l.
ssAh,n he replied, 81 shall take a
magnificent show there. All the animals
are perfectly trained. There will be nine
lions, five tigers, two panthers, three
leopards, several bears, boar hounds,
ponies. bulls, sheep. These will all be
mixed up together in small and large
groups, and they will create a sensation.
~ venture to say that not even in
A merica have lions and sheep been seen
playing together before. l shall show
full grown lions riding on horseback. A
man will drive chariot round the arena
drawn by three ions. A splendid Nubian
lion will follow him, seated in a chariot
drawn by two tigers; and a tiger will ride
q bicycle round the hippodrome every
day..
Ninety-three thousand paying visi-
tors passed through my show in Berlin a
year or two ago in one single day, and
we shall be able to pass in so, 900 people
to see my show in Chicago. ] have hired
a ship specially to take us over to
America, and we shall take twenty-four
days to get to Chicago. My parrot show
alone will astonish the Americans, for I
am taking over no less than 102 different
species. Before you leave Hamburg will
arrange to have q grand entertainment
and exhibition for your own special BEN

''Here said he. as we stood before a cage

very clever animals. They can ride horses

jump through hoops, and they are trained
exactly like human beings, in fact, they
can do almost anything but talk. / have

now" continued Mr.. Hagenbeck with a
laugh, "that monkeys can't talk, yet you

I'll guarantee Ill make it talk; butyou can
only do it by initiating them closely.

moment dazed and awestruck at the sight
that presented itself to my gaze, until 1
was recalled to myself by the sudden lay

great unsheathed claws of a Nubian lion.
l leaped forward and the beast retired,
growing, to the gloomy recesses of its
cage.
at that moment Karl Hagenbeck came
forward and gave me hearty welcome,
coupled with word of warning not to go
too near the cages. Mr.. Hagenbeck is a
tall, singularly pleasant looking man,
with keen, kind eyes and firm. decisive
manner. He took me into his Office and
we sat down, whilst he told me something
Of the curious and interesting life which
he has led SO many years.
My father,'' said he, ''started in life
as a fish dealer in this town, and never
dreamed that he would one day be the
founder OF the greatest menagerie IN the
world. But it CHANGED in the year 1S4S,
some fishermen who usually traded with
him brought him S me very fine seals

which they had caught in their sturgeon
nets. They were very fine animals and
he was delighted with them. He there
fore made a tour to Berlin, opened a
small exhibition in Kroll's gardens and
showed the seals for money. Then there
came a revolution in the city, business
was at a standstill, so he disposed of the
seals for a small sum of money and re-
turned to his fish Dealers shop in Ham,
burg
stBut he was bitter with the wild beast
fever: live animals had more attractions
for him than dead fish, and SO he told the
fisherman that he would always be ready
TO buy any wild animals they might
choose to bring him. a short time after
that sailor from whaling vessel brought
him polar bear; this he exhibited here
in Hamburg. It was great novelty, and
the Leople focked in crowds to see it,.
From that time forward sailors from all
parts OF the world would bring him ami

snakes, and so on. One young lion.

in 1866 he handed the whole business over
to me.'s
At this moment my eye fell upon large
photograph OF the celebrated P. T. Bar
mum, which hung upon the wall. Mr.,
Hagenbeck, noting the direction of my
gaze, said TO me, 81 suppose you know
who that is.'' Ireplied, ''Why, it's P.

Interview with Kari Hagen5ecs at His
Wild Beast shop-Hagenbeck's Conn
ing Show at Chicago.

by Raymond Blathwayt-Copyright 1881
HAMBURG, April 15.-I propose, in a
few short articles, to tell my readers
something about the greatest animal
trainer in the world. His name is Karl
Hagenbeck, he lives in Hamburg, and he
willappear at the Worlds fair at Chicago
with the most wonderful how that has
ever been seen on earth.
To hear, therefore, how he captures
his wild animals, how he transports
them, how he trains them, and the adj
ventures and escapes he has undergone iii
dealing with them, cannot fail to be
of interest to those of my readers es-
pecially who viii so shortly behold for
themselves the marvels he has ac-
complished.
a few days ago ] found myself in his
menagerie at Hamburg. Very suddenly
and almost unexpectedly on opening
door / stood within a great shed full OF
wild beasts, enraged and excited at my
unexpected appearance, bowling and
roaring about me. For visitors, except

pointing to little animal fast asleep on
a cross bar. ssNow, listen. he went On.
making a peculiar noise with his lips. At
once the animal woke up, jabbered re-
ply in chimpanzee, flew to the bars of the
cage, put his tiny paw out ready for the
nuts which he knew weresure to be forth
coming, as indesd they were. "There. -
said Mr.. Hagenbeck, 'sdon't tell me
