Feminton Fair To Feature Lions Klemington A cross-section of the Jungle's deadliest animals will be presented together in trained routines in a 30-foot arena by Professor Keller as a featured presentation of the elaborate grandstand show which has been planned for this year's Flemington Fair during the week of Aug. 29 to Sept. 4. Seven lions, two of them black- maned and African-born, two pumas, a tigep. leopard and black panther are put through their paces by the who disdains the use of a gun, whip or chair as protection.

While his feat is daring it isn't careless. He couldn't afford to be with a dozen potential murderers to contend with, none of whom have ever lost their jungle craving for blood. All of the animals are exceptionally well trained in the presentation of the various and difficult routines. This unusual act among animal attractions was secured by fair offi cials through George A. Hamid, the nation's foremost backer of novel and thrilling acts.

Officials feel that with the addition of this attraction their dhow this year will top anything that it has been their privilege to offer to fair patrons in the past.
