week IN addition TO the regular exhibition
OF Gagged animals, there is troupe OF
trained animals on exhibition.
These animals are four in number. a
magnificent lion, n 1.-THE bodied panther
and two leopards. and all are under the
control OF Dolores vallecita, who by her
will and training compels the savage
looking animals to perform many inter
esting feats.
The sight OF this woman calmly riding
around the ring on the back OF the big
lion Leo is truly an inspiring one, so
