ANIMAL KING.“

Death of Mr Frank C. Bostock.

The death occurred in London last month (as telegraphed by Reuter) of Mr Frank 0. Bostock, the famona international show mau. Known as the "Animal King." Mr Bostock was rarely photographed without having beside him one of his favourites, sometimes a Hon, at others a boar," He had

wonderful career.

Though generally supposed to be su American, Mr Bostock was born at Darling. ton in 1886. Descended from a family famous throughout a century for its associa tion with wild beasts, Bostock early evinced an ardent love for all animals, making himself familiar with their habits to auch

an extent that, before reaching his teens, he could lay claim to being a usturalist of to mean order.
