country where they raise ~hippopotsmi, and
tina is the Bronx park in New York.
When the first hippopotamus was born,
the mother developed the habit Of taking
the baby under water and holding it there
for twenty or thirty minutes at a time,
Now there was a bunch OF wise keepers
that watched the performance q number
of times and became greatly agitated. They
feared the old lady would drown the little

Of the park authorities. or the agony OF
seeing its death. they took 1t from the
mother 1t was nowhere but on deck for
that little fellow from thence on, the wise

game OF bringing up baby hippopotami

their care and attention was an hippo
potami funeral with the attendants and
the old beast for the chief mourners The
next time the trainers were wiser. and
when the mother took 1t under the water
for twenty or thirty minutes at a time
their pulses behaved in a normal way. and
the little fellow was allowed 10 soak. This

PHILLY M'GOYERN
 THRASHES GOLDMAN

Philly McGovern. the brother of Ter rible Terry, kept up the honor of the family, last night. at Long Island City, when he gave Charlie Goldman a hard trouncing for ten rounds. Little Mac fought in the same hurricane manner as his great brother. He kept after Goldman from the start of the fray, and followed him in tigerish activity until the final gong changed.
 Goldman tried to stop the bull-like rushes of his strenuous rival, but Terry was yelling at Philly to keep moving, and the East Slider never could get at the little demon.
 In the fourth Mac got in his best work. He rushed from his corner. like a young cyclone, and before Goldman knew anything he was the target for a fusilade of wallops that kept him running around the ring to get out of the trouble.
 Philly kept his blows we'll .distrib- uted. He would jab Goldman's face so hard that it would bob back in startling style, and then Philly would catch his rival amidships with some stingers. He kept up this method for the balance of the battle, and had Goldman looking as if he had passed through a trip in threshing machine at the finish.

The horses vii dive from a a high platform into specially constructed tank, east of the ball room, a feat which has often been attempted by other horses, but without success on the part of those who have attempted to duplicate the act. These horses are directly de- scended from a team of Arabian steeds presented to the late Presi- dent Grant by the Khedive of Egypt. It is the proud boast of their owner that he has never used a whip upon them. that they need only to be told to mount the platform and dive, and that they so enjoy their work that they would perform it repeatedly were they not stopped.
