Birmingham Zoo
Began by Battle
With DOminOes

A story by Miami, Fla, newspa-
per man gives John Ringing credit
for the beginning of geological
garden in Birmingham, Ala, some 70
years ago.
The story goes that the Ringing
brothers circus came to Birmingham
in October. John Ringing was an
old friend of the late E. W. Barrett,
then editor and proprietor of the
Birmingham Age-Herald.
Mr.. Barrett was one of the best
domino players in the South at that
time. His particular cronies also were
expert domino players. They played
daily and nightly at the old Southern
club, then Birmingham's leading So
cial club. They played for high
stakes.
Joins Domino Gang
1t was a perfectly natural gesture
that Mr.. Barrett should entertain
Mr.. Ringing when the circus came
to town. During the course of two
day stand of the circus, Mr.. Barrett
and Mr. Ringing were together con-
stantly. It was also perfectly natural
that Mr. Ringing joined the daily
joust at dominos in the Southern
club.
He lost heavily, and as final ges-
ture, before leaving the game to join
his circus, which then was in process
of being dismatled to proceed to the
next engagement, he bet an elephant
against $4,000 on a domino match
with Mr. Barrett.
MIR. Barrett won, and twitted Mr..
Ringing about his ineptitude as a
domino player. Mr.. Ringing made
his adieu. Mr.. Barrett urged him to
forget the bet, and returned to his
dominoeS.
Pays Off Bet
Next morning, the editor was as
founded to find very large and
placid elephant parked on the lawn
of his Highland avenue home. With
the elephant was a very dirty ana
ragged man,who was as placid about
it as was the elephant. Mr.. Barrett
was anything but placid. He clrcled
the elephant, and addressed its
keeper.
What do you mean by bringing
this elephant into my yard?" he de-
manded furiously.
Its yourn," replied the mahout
comfortably.
81 never saw it before and never
want to see it again; take it away
at once" Mr.. Barrett Stormed.
"The boss said it was your ele-
phant," replied the keeper.
Mr.. Barrett reached Mr.. Ringing
by telephone at Montgomery, Ala,
where the circus was playing that
day.
'I'm shipping your elephant and
vour man on to join the circus" he
told Mr.. Ringing. I don't know
what to do with an elephant and
don't want him."
His for Keeps
cts not a him, it's her, and she's
yours and I will not accept shipment
from you," replied Mr.. Ringing.
After three days of mounting ex-
pense and growing concern about
the beast, Mr.. Barrett had brilliant
idea. He would present the elephant
to the city. But the city had no ZOO,
and the city commissioners had no
desire to have an elephant.
So Mr.. Barrett assigned the news
paper correspondent who is respon-
sible of this story the task OF con-
Quoting campaign to get rid of the
elephant The plan was to sell to the
people the idea that a geological
garden was the one civic improve
ment which Birmingham lacked.
Finally, the city commission yield
ed to public pressure. Avondale park,
owned by the city, was set aside as
the site of the zoo, and Miss Fancy
was moved in as the first donation.

Truxtun Urn
TO Feature
Exhibition
Interesting History
Behind Decatur
House Treasure.

NE of the most valued treas
ures to be shown during the
two-day exhibition OF Deca-
~ tur House next Friday and
Saturday for the benefit of the sus-
tanning fund of the National Sym
phony Orchestra will be the "Truxtun
Urn"
This great silver urn was presented
to Commodore Truxtun by the mer-
chants of Lloyd's Coffee House, Lon
don, following his victories in the West
Indies. AS commander of the United
States Constellation, the first ship Of
of the infant United States Navy. he
captured the French frigate Insur-
genie on February 9, 1779, and disa-
bled the Vengeance although both
ships were much superior in numbers
of crew and guns.
A story goes that Napoleon Bona
parte, whose ships, trying to cripple
British trade in all parts of the world,
irterfered with our ships as a neutral,
offered the brilliant naval officer an
admirals rank if he would come over
to the French navy.
This famous urn has descended to
Truxtun Beale, present owner and &C.
cupant of Decatur House, from his
great-grandfather, Commodore Trux-
tun, a contemporary of Stephen
Decatur.
Another interesting treasure to be
shown is the gold medal presented to
Commodore Thomas Truxtun by the
Congress of the United States to COM
memorate his naval victories over the
French in 1897.
And still another treasure is the
photograph. old and fading, of Presi-
dent Ulysses S. Grant and Prince Ii
Hung Chang, famous Chinese diplo-
mat, taken in China when, at the end
of his term, Grant made his tour of
the world.
Visitors to the old house on Lafay-
cite Square may have the opportunity

torical relics on the two lower floors
which will be opened through the gen.
