trainer and collector of animals IN the world.
His exhibition of trained animals, which is a
marvellous one, was one of the big features
at the Worlds Fair and had the place Of
honor on the Midway Plasiance. At the close
Of the Fair he was induced to exhibit his an
imals in New York city, which he has done
for the past FIVE months. He has now con-
sented that his animals make tour of Amer

addition to all the old favorites he has added
many new features, and will be seen at Al

king of beasts. and from the elephant to the
monkey, and the entertainment is as inter-

horses and soldiers all through the valley
scenes, but he reserved the great Sheridans
