LONDON, May %.
From the popular point of view the
feature of the lord mayor of Londons
Cornish tour was the visit to Helston yes
terday when his lordship danced the
Furry dance"
Great as is the attraction OF Hclston
Flora Day" or Furry Day" In ordinary
years, the presence of Sir William Ire
loar added vastly to the Interest displayed
in this years proceedings. The towns
folk outdid themselves in the adornment
of the streets, ana at either entrance to
the town the lord mayor was greeted by
huge arches, bearing the inscription,
"Wendron greets her son-Helston her
youngest freeman" An unpropitoius
morning did not deter people from all
parts of the country coming to the little
western borough. and the excursion trains
brought thousands of visitors.
The first event with which the lord
mayor was concerned was the comforting
on him of the freedom of the borough,
which ceremony was performed in the
Ciuildhan In the presence of n crowded
assembly. Sir William was accompanied
| by Sheriff Dunn, the city marshal, the
city swordbearer and the city macebear-
or; while the ceremony was attended by
the high sheriff of Cornwall and the may
ors of Truro, Penzance. Bodmin, Launces-
ton. Penryn and Falmouth
The hour now approached at which the
far-famed Furry dance" was to COM
, rnence. 1t is one of the curious old-world
ceremonies of which 1t Is difficult tc
trace the origin. 1t Is probably the sur
vival OF the ancient British custom OF
the welcoming of spring with dance.tloweI
| and song.
To a sprightly old British tune the
dancers proceeded through the streets and
through peoples houses. The inhabitants
consider it an honor to have their resi-
dences visited. as II acknowledging the
welcoming of spring. The sun. which had
| been obscured by heavy clouds. shone
| brightly as the dancers entered on their
tour of the streets of the town.
| Through dense crowds over forty cou-
pies made their way. II. NJ. Rogers and
Miss Tyacke led the way. and they Were
| followed by the lord mayor and Mrs. Rog-
! ers, the steps" not presenting the slight
est difficulty to Sir William. Sheriff Dunn
| participated in the dance. as did the sher-
/ III of Cornwall. the under sheriff and
many of the leading county people. the
/ gentlemen wearing the regulation attire
/! OF silk hat and frock coat.

HAMBURG, May Is.
Herr Carl Hagenbecls's wonderful Zoo

burg. of which much has been heard dur
ing their three years OF construction, were
officially opened recently
Though entirely private enterprise,
this Zoo" contains the largest collection
of wild animals ever seen in one place OF
the kind. and the design Is unique. These
important attractions brought to opening

the directors of most of the Geological

1t Is the daring arrangement OF the AMI
mals-held in the open air in a captivity
of which there is no visible Indication to
ordinary observers-that makes the great
impression. This more scientific and hu-s

TIL most daring idea in the park is per-
haps the immense structure formed OF
boulders resembling a tremendous iceberg.
At the base Is a basin for seals. sea lions,
penguns. cormorants, and seagulls.
Above are the Polar bears. Visitors may
mount from one side to the top, obtaining
a grand view of the entire Zoo and
toboggan down the other side to the plain.
MY idea" Herr Hagenbeck said. has
been to erect Zoo in perfectly nnt,,-
raj manner. Surely, animals placed in the
open are of more educational value than
when housed and held behind iron bars.
1t has been the ambition OF my life to
build ZOO after my own IDEAS; here I
have accomplished it. You see here thir-

First Civil Tribunal Of the Seine

HISTORICAL SOUVENIRS

1.AtSlS, .Nluy -.
An interesting suit has just been de-
cidcd by the First Civil Tribunal of the
Seine. by which the ex-Empress Eusenie
has obtained the restitution OF number
of historical! articles which belonged to
Napoleon | and to her husband.
In giving judgment the court. after ad-
hitting that the claim was well founded,
made the somewhat curious confession
that, as the objects had been the private
property of the imperial family, and were
no longer interesting from an historical
point of view. they should be restored to
the claimant. They consist chiefly of
articles OF bronze. of valuable vases, stat
ues, art furniture, pictures and tapestries.
Some are at Fontainb!eau, others at the
Elysee. Compelgne. Rambouiilet, Yer
allies and the Louvre.
Among the articles which will now pass
Into the hands OF the ex-empress are a
book given to the first Napoleon by the
pope, the hlt of q sword of honor Of

Egypt n collection of uniforms. saddlery,
pistols and swords. captured at the battle

in his hat when he bade adieu to the I'm

wooden bench on which he often sat in his
garden at st. Helena and the Gordon of
the Order Of the Holy Ghost Worn by
Louis XVI.
The ex-empress sought restitution OF
these relics In 1879, but as all the records
had been burnt when the Tutleries was
destroyed by the Communists in 1871. the
courts were then unable to give decision
