NEW DANIEL.
CYCLIST AMONG LIONS,
CIRCLE OF DEATH,
LONDON, June 0,
While tlie driver of a motor cycle was performing the ''circle of death" at Monti-citil, says a Paries message, he came within an ace of meeting his end. The cycle left the track, and crashed through the roof of a lions' den.
The cyclist climbed the bars, dodging tlie rush of an enraged lioness; but he was severely hurt while scrambling up.
Tlie lion-tamer pluckily kept back the cage.l animals. They tried to follow the twentieth century Daniel until they were driven by assistants into another cage.
