with Conside rnble Trouble.
Superintendent w. A. Conkln Of the Central
Park Menagerie determined yesterday to
transfer the hippopotami from their summer
quarters to their winter abode in the lion
house. and an enclosed road was made with
old disused ratings. backed UP by wooden
cases and made strong with the help Of much
rope. The Superintendent and Hugh Downey.
the guardian Of the hippopotami. were the prin;;
hundreds OF the curious besides.
It WAS about 4 p. NJ. when Downey began to
coax Mrs. Murphy out OF her pen. Offering
dainty ioaves Of bread. and the mother would
have gone willingly enough. but little Miss
Fatimn. would again and again run back. and
After half an hour Mrs. Murphy and Fatima
were actually inside the house and the gates
were closed.
The next animal to be housed was Caliph,
tho father OF the family. Downey and Pat
Barry were surprised at his Willingness to
change his quarters. for he dashed out OF his
pen "full cry and open mouthed. Downey
made an escape over the low iron fence to the
right, but Barry went down the homestretch
and got over the far fence in an incredibly
short time.
