PANTHER IN QUEEN STREET.

Quite considerable interest was caused in Queen Street this afternoon at about 12.30 by the appearance of a motor car having for passengers a lady and gentleman and what appeared to be a young tiger. Inquiries elicited the fact that the lady was Astras, now appearing at Fuller's Theatre, and the animal her pet panther, "Beauty." Questioned as to the risk entailed, the lady volunteered the information that there practically was no danger at all.
