BRAINY POLAR BEARS.
Monsters of the Arctic Region Whic

Monsters Of the Arctic Region Which
Are Trained to Think and Act.
The great white denizen of the
polar regions was pronounced a train
ing impossibility until the advent of the
Hagenbeck- Wallace shows, which eX-
hibit here June 3. The polar bear has
been generally acknowledged by ami
NAL trainers to be a thing of beauty,
but no one has ever discovered any ell
ement of charm in their makeup. The
inherent savage and rapacious instinct
of the Arctic monsters, always such a
tremendous and timorous proposition
TO trainers, has at last been conquered
and the reverse side of the great
brute's nature developed to a fineness
that is at once astonishing. The wonder
full success is exemplified with the
Hagenbeck- Wallace septette of polar
bears. whose marvellous feats and
amusing stunts and exhibitions may
be described as follows:
Two big bears and smaller one
participate in a game of see-saw. A
huge pyramid is formed which includes
the entire group with the trainer al
the apex. One bear rides a tricycle.
with another furnishing pushing mo-
tive power. A living arch is formed by
the seven bears with the trainer stand
ing underneath. A comedy conceit in

his side. Protesting against the bulk,
load the harnessed bear stops, turns
around and deliberately unhitches
himself The bear in the cart then
gently losses the trainer over the dash
board as a gentle hint that he shall be-
come the beast of burden, which he
does, pulling the bear around the ring
