Unquestionably the greatest menagerie ever placed on exhibition in England. The proprietor, Mr. Ballard, has gained quite a reputation for securing the finest animals in the world and bringing them to be shown in his home land. Included in his exhibition are several wild beasts from the shores of Africa, including a lion, leopard, panther and jaguar. Other members of the menagerie include a score of monkeys, exotic and unlike those commonly seen in the possession of pirates and sailors. Onlookers need not fear the escape of the leopard, an incident that caused quite a bit of fright at the Bartholomew fair several years ago. These animals of Ballard's, though far from tame or trained, are unlikely to bite a handler as was the case in the aforementioned "jail break" involving the leopard. No monkeys will be eaten, either. The animals are fed only raw meat, not live beasts. Successful bidders will not be rushed through the exhibit - instead they will be allowed to ogle the fauna at their leisure - to dawdle, even, if they so choose. There will be enough to see, in fact to keep a legion of soldiers entertained for a good long while. Contact the sellers to discover the location of the menagerie's latest exhibition. The pass being offered here is good for only one week's time.
