One cage contains two large Eagles. They are
labelled "Golden Eyes". The birds are imma-
ture, and so they sit on the perch or the floor,
the feathers of the breast hangs over the feet
and completely hide the tarsus, where the
diagnostic character lies, that distinguishes
the Golden from the Bald Eagle. However
by stationing myself near one of the birds
that was on the perch, and waiting and watching
I finally had a good view of the tarsus as
the Eagle stretched himself. The tarsus, at
the lower portion was bare, making that
bird a Bald Eagle. Whether the other
one was so or not I do not know, but
probably both birds are the same species.

A young Cinnamon Bear, a Wild Boar of
Europe and a Hog Deer of India a queer
little fellow with oddly shaped horns com-
pleted the list of animals that are on
exhibition. I might mention that a
pair of Moose horns are hanging by one
of the pens, with a label telling that
they were shed on Feb. 15. That is a week
before the show opened.

The exhibit of live fish was most attractively
gotten up. The tanks ran along one side of
a large room, and strips of bark are fastened
between and around the large glass fronts

the glass set into it. Strong lights are
thrown on to the water from above, and
