TO THE CURIOUS.
A beautiful African LION,
To be ſeen every day in the week (Sundays excepted) in Brattle-ſtreet, next to Major King's, near the Market, where a very convenient ſituation is provided for thoſe Ladies and Gentlemen who may pleaſe to favor the proprietor with their preſence.
This noble Animal is between three and four feet high, meaſures eight feet from noſtrils to tail, and a beautiful dun colour; 11 years old, and weighs near 500 wt.—His legs and tail are as thick as thoſe of a common ſize ox. He was caught in the woods of Goree, in Africa, when a whelp; and brought from thence to New-York. Great attention has been paid in providing a ſtrong ſubſtantial Cage, and to have the Lion under very good command. The perſon who has the care of him can comb his mane, make him lie down and get up at any time; and it is ſaid by thoſe who have ſeen Lions in the Tower of London, and many parts, that he is really worth the contemplation of the curious.
☞ Admittance 25 Cents.—Children half price.
