After an hour S choses led by animal
Keeper De~vry and his assistants and

surrounded and forced into captivity.
The hunt, while il lasted, was full Of
excitement at each appearance of the
eDraged animal on the drives. Cyclists
were upset in a mad rush for safety,
horses were frightened, nurse girls
with their infant charges ran from the
hunt in terror and the widest confu-
sion prevailed in that portion of the
park covered by the chase.
The bear was recently purchased
from the gypsies at Forty-seventh
street and Western avenue He stands
three feet high and is rough-coated and
ill-tempered. Early in the morning the
animal was officially installed in the
ZOO with huge grizzly for his COM
panion in captivity. Keeper De Vry at
once noted the fact that bruin brought
with him considerable of the uncIeanli-
ness of his former owners and ordered
the attendants to turn the hose on him.

It is well known that missionaries In
China do a great deal in the way of
suffering among those who
cannot obtain the services of a doe
tor. Quite recently a Chinaman lost
his sight and some sympathetic neigh
bors came and enlisted the services of
the local missionary on his behalf. The
missionary found his patient suffering
from cataract and succeeded in remov-
ing it and restoring sight to the China
man. The obliging neighbors then,
however, represented to the missionary

north through the beautiful flower
beds. Keeper De Vry summoned the
mounted police and the chase began.
After running two blocks in the flower
beds bruin turned into the bicycle track
and dashed down the path amid the
shriel1s of women cyclists. Several men
leaped from their wheels and climbed
trees.
B Crossing a drive north of the lily
pond the animal suddenly broke in
upon the early morning meditations of
