This famous exhibition is announced to visit Mexborough during the feast.

A better collection of wild beasts has never before visited Mexborough, and the same is well worth a visit.

The encampment is on the ground near the South Yorkshire Hotel. The chief attraction is the celebrated lion tamer Martina Bartlett, whose heroic and daring exploits has won him a world-famed name.
