New York, Aug. 4. l9O2-The city has
not been without its little excitement
during the past week of rainy weather,
what with the Bronx puma at large 1--WE
are strictly forbidden to call it a pan
ther and the Jewish riot on Grand
street, the papers have found some
thing TO nh their valuable columns. The
outlaw Tracy for a long time has kept
them as busy as he has the sheriff and
police Of Washington and Oregon, but
he has almost been forgotten in the
chase for his namesake the puma
(some wag gave him the name of
Tracy In honor Of your western Claude
Duyal, for the clever way In which he
eluded his captors), but at last he has
been caught,all owing TO the keenness Of

opportunity not to be missed to witness
an affair so impressive and unique. But
fortunately the said party only reached
a certain point, as every street seemed
choked with a mass of humanity, and
well IL was for those crowded out for
bricks. hot water iron slaves and the
hose were brought into play. and for a
time all the wild stories OF Russian
mobs seemed TO be verified in our free
born American streets. 1t was an un-
desirable scene, not unmxed with n
certain horror listening 10 the differ
INT languages, seeing so many opposite |
ypes, wild in their excitement testicu-
ating and shrieking; knowing that |
something was going on, but unable To-
