! Fonie in i Menagerie.
I (New York Sun.)
Kingston, N. Y., May 2. Tbera
was a lively fight in Van Ambnrgh'a
moniigerie at Fowling itn F.iday of
last week between the elephant Bolt,-
var, which is said to be the largeat
ever imported, and the mole camel. .
Chas. Johnson, Bolivar's keeper
gives tbt following account ol tho
battle: "It was in the afternoon,
and I had been gone from the can
was under which we keep the animals
into the circus for somuihing. I bad
been gone a moment, only when I
heard the spectators in the menagerie
uur.vas making a row as though panic
stricken. The under keepers ruihtd
into: he circus canvas and shouted.
'where'a Johnson?' 'where's Bovd?
Mr. Boyd is our local agent and a
man of experience with wild beasts,
very cool nnd ol groat bravery, aa haa '
been proved in n number of contests
in which auimnlshod to be conquered
and subdued. I hurried into the
menagerie, nnd thciv found the spec
tators in a state of panic. One of the
under keepers called out tn me, that
devil of ft camel is nt Bolivar, t ml
one or the other will be killed.'
Jumping insides the ropes I found
Bolivar nnd the camel hooked in to
gether. Iu some unaccountable man
ner lii. camel got looso aud seized
the elephant's trunk between his
teeth and then tried to strike him ';
with his IiooIh. Mr. Boyd and four
under keepers seized the camel,
while endeavored to impress upou
li l.vnr that help win al hand, but
the old chap was so enraged
by the excruciating pain that be
trumpeted so loud I verily believe
you could have hecid l.im lour miles. .
The ojintl clung to Bolivar's trunk
with such tenacity that the tour men
could not pull him away until I had
got a chain about his throat and
choked him down. The wildest con
fusion reigned in the lent; women M.
screamed and fainted, men yelled,
and the oilier animal nimlo their pe- '
ciiliar noises, but high above all the 1 ' ,.
din was old Bolivar's trumpet, seem
ingly screaming, 'take him off, and '
let me gel just one crack at him.'
The uproar was quieted as soon aa
