The Barnuii and Bailey circus Is The
\ only one in the, world that hasits own
animal hunters and trappers The
lyari6us animal agencies distributed
Throughout Europe deal only IN those
animals which are common to the ZOOS
lof every city Of size. Rare creatures
which do not bleed in captivity are
not found there. Here liessthe reason,
Ewhy other shows, with neither hunt
er nor d trapper in their employ, have
nothing year after year to show their
patrons but the common lions. tigers
a sprinkling of dear and bear, few.
elephants and various other unimpor.
liant types which fro long being seen
are scarcely Of ore interest than goat
or an oxen,
In the Barnum and Bailey menag-
erie are 40 cages, dens, tanks and
pens in which are to be found 1,20O
animals. An instance Of their great
enterprise is found in the giraffe fam.
