strong health in Col Mundys wild
Feast nursery, the only one of tho
kind in this country.

night perfect. Col Mundy never los
es sight of the comfort of his gues1 +.
Regular circus seats accommodate
ing $500 people are so placed that

The performing wild animal show
program ends with Col Mundy's chal
lenge group of six full-sized. black
