ROAST LION AT BANQUET
iRoast lion was served at a banquet | in a Paris restaurant recently. The banquet was arranged by the managing committee of the Gingerbread Fair, and the guests included several £own councillors, journalists, actors, j and circus people. . ! The lion in question was not a vic- j tim of big-game hunting in Africa. j He was Sultan, the blind lion of a well , known French menagerie. As the ocu- [ lists who had been consulted were un- j able to restore the animals _ sight, his j owner decided to destroy him. ^ The j execution was performed gently in the presence of a member of the Society j for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. For two days the lion's carcass, with a piece of parsley in his royal mouth, adorned a butcher's wmdow. . One of the guests who took part m |the f east declared that the lion's meat was as white and tender as veal, and that it had a delicate flavour of venison.
