home waiting for him. No American buff
faloes need apply.
Philip Holmes, Bessie's keeper, was
burdened with the task of matchmaking
when Sampson, the mate of his charge,
died. This country .Sas searched in vain
for a buffalo to take the place of Samp-

dealer, has directed one of his agents in
the South African wilderness to capture
q companion for the widow.
Bessie's capricious temperament and the
scarcity of her kind are the chief diff

and her young, Jenny and Fanny, are the
only African bufaloes in Central Park.
They are in excellent condition and each
weighs from 1,50o to 1,6o0 pounds. Once
