	H e r e, here - E v e r y b o d y. HERE is Bostock the KING OF WILD
	ANIMALS." After he had finished his harangue, a Hindoo piper came forth
	and proceeded to render some very hideous music( if you can call it
	such ).on the bagpipes. This was followed by a free exhibition and 
	performance of a few of the animal.1st came JUMBO, the big elephant
	weighing 9 tons and 12 feet high; following him, one after another 4
	little baby elephantsupon which were seated 3 or 4 little boys and 
	girls. Next came two clowns,one with a donkey, the other with a pony.
	Then a zebra and a big black bear led by their trainers.After all the 
	animals had gone through some little performance, the band struck up
	some of the latest musikc and the animals returned to the interior of
	the show. A few minutes later found us on the interior of the show to
	see the  " sights ". We entered just in time to hear a great commotion 
	among the animals in the large cages.The interior of the Animal Show
	was circular and in front stood a strong 70 foot steel barred arena on
	a raised platform. Arond the walls were large cages, containing the
	finest set of animals I had ever seen. There were kangaroos, wolves,
	antelopes,deer,tigers,leopards,linos,black and grizzly bears, wild cats
	and hundreds of others.There were 1000 animals and birds in the collection.
	This might not sound true but is, and I'll bet you my bottom dollar on
	that, for its a Fact.
