No class of quadrupeds command
so large share of the peoples in
terest and curiosity as the unique
quadrupeds OF the sea, except, in
deed, it be the sea quadrupeds
which are at the same time amphi-
bious brutes. The fact of a four
footed animal living in the sea is
curious enough of itself, but when
this four-footed beast is footed with
cloven hoof. tail like an OK and
horns like land bovine, and can
dwell as easily and as comfortably
on the land as in the sea, there, in
deed, is a wonder seldom--we al
most said never. seen, and we will
say it was never seen before in q
show.
It is a wonder which few COM
paratively speaking, of the amuse-
ment goers, ever VIII or ever can
see, for so difficult of capture and
so costly an undertaking is the
capture of it. So rare are the
monsters. now all but ex-
tinct, and so dangerous and haz-
ardous is the hunt for them, that
in all the history, the gone before
circuses of the world, there has
