SHOW NOVELTIES
PERFORMING SEALS. DIRECT FROM AUSTRALIA. From time to time show patronshave been entertained by performing animals, and this year visitors to the Royal Show will be privileged to see the cleverest animal act of its kind that has ever visited the Dominion, in the person of “Terangi” and her performing seals, Benny and Angel. These animals, only a few years old have been thoroughly trained, and possess an intelligence which is really remarkable. Responding immediately to the direction of his lady trainer “Terangi,” the king seal Benny, goes through his acts in a manner which has delighted audiences on all showgrounds in Australia. Benny can do anything from balancing a ball to playing a mouth organ. Tossing a ball to any person in the audience indicated with alacrity and accuracy, is just one of his many feats, and his performance in a huge tank of water is as equally good. Conscious of his good work Benny, is not slow to join in the applause which comes his way. The entertainment is bright and clever, and visitors to the show this year should not miss the opportunity of seeing these animals performing, and it is just as entertaining to adults as it is amusing to children.
