 by E-ichard List from Hamburg, who performed twice 

 daily with a ' happy family ' of lions, tigers, leopards, 

 bears, monkeys, dogs, etc. Close by were a pair of 

 extremely pretty white goats, a rather mangy camel, 

 a bull zebu or Indian sacred bull, some eagles, and a 

 picturesque duckpond. 



The Gardens certainly looked better bathed in sun- 

 shine, and the view of the Alpes Maritimes seen from 

 them was superb.
