MONKEY MOTOR RACES.
A novel feature of the Winter Show will be Madame Kamos’ monkey motor races. The attraction will consist of real monkeys racing in real miniature cars on an enormous speedway motor track specially constructed in a large red and white striped marquee. Apart from the thrills of the racing the comedy between the monkeys during the races is hilarious, as each performerr is a trier, and they stop at nothing to prevent their fellow monkeys from winning. ■ One monkey gives an intimation of a man driving a car while under the influence of liquor; then another demonstrates a man driving a car to his unpopular mother-in-law’s funeral, all helping to provide good entertainment and amusement. This attraction was specially imported for the last Wellington winter exhibition, and was witnessed by 15,000 persons there. Madame Karnos has personally trained these animals, and conducts the enterprise herself. An extra feature is provided in Prince, the tiny marmost, which Madame claims to be the smallest full-grown monkey in the world. This attraction should prove popular with all show visitors.
