THE BOSTOCK BIOLOGICAL ARENA
The Star Feature of the Great Pan.
American nidway at Buffalo.

The acme OF human courage and
daring, the apex of architectural
magnificence. the highest pinnacle of
wild animal intelligence and subjuga-
ton. together with a superlative de-
gree of educational geological features.
are the combined salient characteris-
ties of a worlds resources and life
times plucky effort, perseverance aud
experience as represented today by
the great Bostock Geological Arena.
which is without question the star
feature of the Midway of the great
Pan-American Exposition. The efforts
former expositions pale into insignif-
canoe beside this mighty enterprise,
and its fame already extends the
world around. The building in which
the exhibitions are given is without
question the finest on the Esplanade.
The first impression of those who visit
it is one of profound magnitude and
splendor. Its exterior is a mass of
rare painting. carving and gliding
and electric lighting and represents
the very highest degree OF the decor
ator's art. The interior is one OF
vastness, spotless, cleanliness and in
tense interest. Around the sides are
the great steelbarred cages wherein
are shown the brute creation fully
and complete. The entire animal
kingdom is there represented, and
from the ice-bound regions of the
Arctic Circle to the sun-scorched lati-
tudes at the Equator, mountain, plain,
forest, jungle, desert, icehoe and
frozen sea has been ransacked to get
together this vast collection, in which
there is not single intereresting
species missing nor one rare variety
absent. In the mammoth 6O-foot
steel arena are shown the browning
features of the exhibition. There,
commanded and directed by the
worlds greatest living animal train
ers, are shown man. eating lions,
bloodthirsty tigers, fierce, snarling
leopards, treacherous panthers, huge,
shaggy bears, grave-robbing hyenas,
deadly iaguars and wild, fighting
wolves in as complete subsection as
household cats and dogs. In that
great steel circle can be seen fearless
men and women, taking their lives in
their hands, posing in the midst of
the very beasts whose mission on
earth seems but death and destruc
ton. Education, to a degree, which
borders on the line of human under
standing, is amply demonstrated and
performances are given which fairly
bewilder the senses of the spectator.
The masterpiece of all the former
Bostock enterprises is the great Pan
American exhibit. In its many phases
and colorings it blends as into one
superb living picture of real life, in
the foreground of which. standing
out in bold relief in the glorious
magniicence of perfect manhood,
masterful courage and sublime intel
ligence, is the form of its creator,
protector and promoter-Frank c.
