Hoffman. Having now seen the h ome of the author of one of the most popular and patriotic melodies of Amercia, my next place to visit was the zoological park .which lies or rather rolls and tumbles northwest of the city, and is reached by electric cars. It is a very rolling piece of ground, having many large hills and deep valleys. There is 167 acres in this tract and it was only established in 1889, and is in a rude state, but

■. - with lots of time -nd money will be one of the finest parks, as it is owned by the government, and what they have done is done well, but like all other governments is slow, as all money sp®nt on this is raised bv congress. The purpose of this park is to collect and preserve our wild animals of every specie, and to provide entertainment for the public, which is surely a treat to the people *in the city ‘ after a weeks' work in an office, to spend a'day in this beautiful place watching the white swans as they glide along on the small streams that flow down from the hillside. ■ There is also many other animals that are kept in their native state, as can be had. Those that require ■ a high altitude are kept on some large barren hill, while others are ■ kept in the valley or swamp. Although a greater part of this is in a rude and wild state, and as one walks down the steep hills across brooks anljpursues a winding path ‘ around another -till larger hill ; with wildernes on one side of them : and a beauti ul flower garden on the other side, they are not allowed ! to pluck a flower or leaf or limb or ■ bush, as it is against the rules to : ■ take anything from this park (exjoept a drink of cold sparkling water'. One may see wild and. tame deer and fawns running lose ; in a thick woods, wild buffalo can be see on a hill top. while down in ; the ravine are beavers, otters, sea ns. seals. Every animal is situated in a place adapted to its natore, as the white bears are given a : place side of some large hill where there are large trees that shade his and cold water can run through ' the den or a home that is blasted out of a huge stone as large as a s • bank barn." It i also amusing to ■ see the monkeys as they trot too ' and fro, playing their tricks; birds , of every description are kept among ‘ them the Amercan eagle: and par- , rots’and birds of every description i to be seen and heard in the lofty ; trees singing their sweet songs. I I Birds of the most beautiful feathera, including every specie of the j - ostrich, with their beautiful plumes | ; are given a space in this park on a . I sandy plain Nobody is allowed to | feed any of these animals or birds. Occasionally there is a notice on the cages that you may feed these animals fruit, but nothing more. I But there is no ordinance against feeding peanuts to the monkeys. There is also a large collection of < wild animals from Asia. Africa, j etc., as the lions, tigers and others | too numerous to mention, Jincluding those on the Philippine Islands and all foreign countries, the most important and largest being a Philippine ox or a specie of the American buffalo. There is a large col- ’ i lection of every kind of animal and birds to be seen , and they are all looking fine, as they are given the best of attention and care and are . much nicer than those to be seen at a show, as these have large cages with lots of room, and are never molested, but are allowed to roam : at will. Last, but not least, “Old t Dunk." a large elephant, whose weight I can't give (owing to after covering one side of an envelope with figures.’l broke |my pencil.) (To be continued.)
