Rare Wild Animlas to BE Seen in
Their Valuable Collection.

Their Valuable Collection.
A few more years and there will be
but few living specimens of rare wild
animals to be seen anywhere in cap
tivity. Every year witnesses their
decline towards extinction. Their
scarcity is already a matter of grave
concern to natural historians.
Man, in his progress, is driving
them from their natural eIements in
forests and jungles and on pampas,
steppes and plains. 1t is only in such
institutions as the menageries Of the
great circuses of the country that a
very great majority of these strange
and curious creatures may be seen.
Norris & Rowe are rapidly getting
the largest and most complete collec>
ton of animals in this country and
their menageries are constantly be-
ing augmented by the addition oil
new specimens of animals that are
captured in the jungles and fastnesses
| of all the world, and sent to them by
! their permanent agents abroad.
Some seasons ago, realizing the
worth of a goodly collection, they
| gave their foreign agents the strictest
/ instructions to purchase on sight
I every rare and wild beast obtainable.
| That the agents carried out their Or
| ders implicitly is best evidenced by
| the large number of animals sent
| over, in fact the number grew to such
proportions that the young circus
owners were compelled to order
larger tents and join the two menag-
| cries into one huge double affair
that will take the auditor more than
an hour in witnessing even casually.
The Norris & Rowe greater circus will
exhibit in Pendleton on Monday
