 Tragedy of the Lion.
 Now the tragedy. A ponderous lion emerges from the menagerie. His four comrades have been hustled into wheeled cages and pushed to safety. Rlt be is Black Prince. the beast that tore off Bonavita's hand Again he was uncontrollable His mane was afiame Even the tiuT Of hair at his tails end was fiaring like a torch. For an instant he glaTed al our auto mobiles, and tho rCople on foot ran behind our cars. But Black Prince was nc jangle-bred king of beasts. Taken captive as a cub, like all the lions Of the shows, and beaten into abject fear of men, his latent ferOcity had once broken out on Bonavita. but on this spectacular occasion he slunk and cringed like a cur.

Black Prince glared down at him as though about 10 spring, until three shots had failed to reach vital spot The fourth dazen him. the fifth pierced his heart, and the sixth missed him as ne tuml'ied dead into the street.

 ould sing 1t once more. It is given by Italians in a forgotten Bowery ,heater-that is. forgotten by Broad way. The audiences show it by no means forgotten by every one. We have Mexico to thank for this enter tainment These Italians had made a tour Of South America and were on the way to the capital of our neigh bor nation. but conditions looked too rnfavorable and so they came to New York. An Italian Mol'ie Seymour ho. by sticking her fingers to her nose at him. was hardly our idea of the role. but after all a group of i essentially Italian jack tars were hardly more absurd than Caruso's American naval officer in Madame Butterfly And the singing was de fghtfui-indeed less --.T97is-ahle only than the uana~era4ns or the Orches- ira, which was truly excellent.
