One day chronicled the engagement of a troupe of trained bears and their Hungarian leaders. The bears were divided between surly discontent and a comfortable desire to follow the bent or their own inclinations. It was only after much persuasion that they could be induced to subserve the interests of science. One furry-monster waddled up a telegraph polo tot he soliloquy of his own indignant growls; another settled himself comfortably in a deep arm-chair, with the air of a post-graduate in social science; a third rose solemnly on his hind legs and described the measures of some dance, to the weird strains of his keeper's music. Another licked his master's swarthy face, another accepted his keeper's challenge, and engaged him in a wrestling match, struggling, hugging, and rolling on the ground.
