an hour yesterday while he roamed at
will about the park. He attacked Joseph
Strael. a trainer. in the animal arena
Immediately after he escaped from his
cage. biting him in the calf Of tho left
leg, making bad wound.
The lion belongs to Capt. J. g. Ferrari.
who is to occupy the old Bostw1ck animal
arena in Dreamland this year with
menagerie. Yesterday. shortly after noon,
four employees Of the show, including
Strael attempted to transfer the lion
from one Of the arena cages to another
by means Of q wooden transfer cage.
Sultan was induced to enter the transfer
cage, but two Of the workrnen who were
supporting it lost their grip under the
weight Of the creature and dropped the
cage. The door flew open when the cage
struck the floor. and Sultan, with snarl,
rolled out.
Beast at Full Liberty.
Three Of the men fled incontinently,
but Strael was too surprised or scared to
move Sultan rushed for him like an
angry dog and grabbed Strael's left leg
in his big jaws. After wounding the man
the lion left on his attack and wandered
across the arena and through an open
door.
On the other side Of the door Capt.
Ferrari was sitting at his desk. He
looked up at the sound of a padded foot
on the floor and found regular lion
staring him in the eye. Capt. ferrari
no longer sat at his desk. He was under
the desk.
The quick disappearance OF the cap
tain must have frightened Sultan. for he
took flying leap through closed win
dow. shattering the glass and LANDING
outside, where 200 workmen were busy
preparing the park for the opening. The
whole 200 took to their heels, and were
out at the end Of the long pier In fine
sprinting time.
Another open door confronted the Hon.
It was the house Of the diving girls,
where q number were practfcing and re-
hearsing for the seasons opening. When
the lion came in the door there were
shrin screams and q great splash and Gil

Pitchforks Used on Him.
Sultan found no other interest in the
diving bellies and walked outside again
BY this time Capt. Ferrari had organised
his forces, and with pitchforks, iron rods
and pistols loaded with blank cartridges
they set out to capture Sultan.
Several volleys were fred to drive the
big cat toward the animal arena. and
the shots attracted tho attention of the
crowd on Surf avenue. They rushed to
the gates Of Dreamland, which were
closed to visitors. and demanded en-
trance. Manager Gumpertz sent an ap-
peal to the police for aid, and the re-
serves were turned out to keep at q safe
distance the would-be spectators Of lion
hunt.
After an hours chase up and down the
park Sultan finally took shelter under the
platform Of the animal arena, where by
means Of the pitchforks. iron rods and
ropes he was safely netted and carried
back to his cage.
