When the time comeS-and may it be far away-when old Bill
Snyder is gathered TO his fathers, somebody with a keen appreciation of
what was happiest and nohest in the life of the Central Park Zoos
animal man will grave something like this on his tombstone;
"Bl Snyder, who loved a hppopotamus"
Maybe it would be a finer tribute still to chiSel the corouary to this
proposition, far more significant:
"Bnl Snyder, who was loved by a hippopotamus"
After all, it is something of distinction to be beloved by a ~hippopot-
amus-particularly by such a famous diva in the h~ppopotamus circle
as Miss Murphy. Undenably, Miss Murphy loved Bill Snyder, as did
Abdul, the sconful shek of the camel tribe under Bills care; Raah, the
Bengal tiger, and all the furred and feaherei boarders in Bill Snyders
boarding house for beasts up by the old Arsenal in the Park.
