Show Wildcats In London, It hns long been n source of regret to me that sea serpents, giant gooseberries gooseber-ries and other "uoyful iiivvi" should nourish only lu tho summertime. Winter Win-ter lu London is very dull, and n sensation sen-sation helps to pass It pleasantly. Naturally Na-turally enough, then, I welcome the appearance ap-pearance of wildcats of ruru breed, largo -size and iistouiuiirg ferocltyto be found by mighty hunters somewhere some-where under tho Savoy Hotel. These wildcats nro if great height; their eyes ate ot extraordinary brightness; they wiry in size, shapo nnd color, nccoid-Ing nccoid-Ing to the genius of tho reporter. If Tartaiiu of Tarascon were with us now ho would be the best man to send nut at tho head of an expedition for their extermination. Tho gieat danger dan-ger ot their continued Immunity should not bo overlooked. In course of time they may grow to Hie size of bullocks, llko the nit lu the "Arabia 1 Nights" story of the hunchback who married n beautiful princess against her will. I havo henid of wildcats lu London be-foro be-foro these weto disco ered, but they weio always to bo found ens of Tom-plo Tom-plo Bar and were spoken nbont on tho Stock Kxihauge. They were often of n South African, West African or Alls-trnlliUi Alls-trnlliUi variety. Tho Savoy cats nre home bred, nnd I look with Interest to tho tliuo when one will he on view.
