The city market Will not be abol-

portion OF the big building is in use,
and as the city reeds car barn up

part OF the huilding for that purpose.
purpose. The portion fronting on Del
siard street will be separated from
the other part of the structure by a
wall and will be converted into a mod
ern sanitary meat stalls. The restaur-
ant feature of the market will be
eliminated.
The section of the market along Ca

The resignation of the city board

Mutt, Chief Bully Of the Wolf Dens Reformed

NEW YORK.-Mutt has reformed.
~ There is no doubt about this. He
is just as nice and amiable now as
any wolf In captivity. He was not
always noted for this. For three
years he reigned supreme as chief
bully of the wolf dens in the New
York geological parks. Now a little
cub has taught him TO behave him
self. and when Mutt gets out Of the
hospital he will be good.
Like most of the other wolves in
the park Mutt was born in captivity.
His mother, Fannie and his father,
Husky. are two Of the best natured
animals there. Mutt, however, showed
when he was a cub that he had not
inherited the amiability of his par
ents. Instead, he was a replica Of
his grandfather, Grower, who was
captured in northern Canada and who
while still in the cub stage became
unpopular with the keepers.
Most OF the wolves in the park are
as tame as house dogs. They like to
be petted by the keepers and know
their friends. They seldom snarl or
growl. and do not show wolfish traits
until feeding time and then all they
do is to howl with JOY when they see
the keepers coming with the meat.
When still a cub Mutt showed that
he was going to be different. He be-
gan by fighting with his brothers and
sisters and then with all the others in
the Gems. His temper and bullying
got worse as he grew, older. and then
he was given the name which he now
bears.
A few days ago Mutt tried to show
that he was the ruler OF the dens by
refusing to let the other wolves eat
