This record cannot be matched by tat of any other nevesparper in the world! PRESENTED TO THE ZOO, ‘The Big Elephant Which Will Hereafter Belong to the Government. At the performance of Forepaugh’s circus this afternoon an Asiatic elephant named Dunk was formally presented to the government for the National Zoological Park. The presenta- tion was made in the large menagerie canvas. Mr. James E. Cooper, the proprietor of the Forepangh shows and who donates the ele- phant, stated that he trusted that tho gift of the elephant would stimulate not only the next Congress, but many private individuals, to aid in placing the National Zoological Park fer in advance of all similar institutions. Now artists, students and those interested in comparative anatomy were obliged to study abroad. This new institution, he hoped, would be so com- plete that it would keep ‘them at home and attract scientists from ot jands to this coun- try. FORMALLY ACCEPTED. Dr. Frank Baker, the superintendent of the park, accepted the magnificent animal on be- half of the government. In explaining the efforts which were being made to establ jish the park he stated that Mr. Cooper's gift would do more to encourage, aid and give thema nucleus for greater things than anything that had yet been done. He closed by handing Mr. Cooper a formal letter of acceptance of the elephant from Prof. 3. P. Langley of the Smithsonian Institution. “Dunk” was then ordered to move. Manager Joseph T. McCaddon of the show caused him to be placed between two other elephants, “Bazil” and “Nellie,” and the procession started for the Zoological Fark. There are not many persons who have the wer or opportunity to make presenta of liv- Fog elephant Even the rich potentutes who rule in the Indies seldom give such a valuable article from the herds which they possess. In the history of this country the Adam Forepangh show has shown its generosity on two previous, occasions. Bolivar, one of the Ley on animals in eaptivity, was presented to the Philadelphia Zoological Garden. Tippo Said, another mon- ster of larger size, was given to the New York Zoological Garden. DUNK'S HISTORY. Dunk was imported to this country twenty- ‘one years ago. He weighs in the neighborhood of four tons and is about eight feet nine inches in height. He is valued at $10,000. For sev- eral years he formed one of the most interest- ing features of the show, being known as the performing baby elephant. Five years ago he ‘was promoted to the performing group. He is growing so tall that it will shortly be impossible to transport him on the railway. His trainer, Meagher, thinks it will bo only a question of & few years when he will surpass in size the famous “Jumbo. ee a LE DROIT PARK TENNIS CLUB. ‘Three Clubs Unite Under One Management— The Coming Tournament. The Maple, Spellbinder and Butterworth ten- nis clubs of Le Droit Park reorganized last evening for the present season by electing Mr. J. B.Cilley president and Mr. J. M. Wright secretary and treasurer. Having heretofore played independentiy of each other it has now been decided to have all the clubs of the park under one management, the name to be the Le Droit Park Tennis Club. The three courts on Maple avenue are being put in order and two more will be buiit. DEATH OF MRS. JANE FARNHAM. 4 Noble and Charitable Woman Passes Away at a Ripe Old Age. The death last night at 11 o'clock of Mrs. Jane Farnham at her residence, at 11th and M streets northwest, will be a great shock to her many friends. Mrs. Farnham has been so closely identified with Washington for upward of fifty years that ber loss will be most keenly felt in every direction. In the direction of charities Mrs. Farnham was the embodiment of liberality and energy. She not only gave freely, but unsparingly used her time and strength in the accomplishment of good works. During the war when misery and suffering were rampant in this city Mrs, Farnham was es- pecially identified with the local measures of relief. The Woman's Relief Association, which didsuch magnificent work in the hi during that period, owes its yo measure to the earnest efforts of Mra. Farn- ham, who acted as treasurer for associa- tion, most of the meetings of which were hel at ber residence on M street. Mrs. Farnbam's activity did not cease with the war and «ance that time she has been untiring in church and charitable works. She was nearly eighty years of age, having been born in Maryland in 1811. ‘She had lived in Washi for seventy-five years and at the residence at 11th and M streets for fifty year. Her death is mainly due to the shock caused by the death of her daughter Jane on February 7, 1891. ‘The house in which the death occurred is one of the landmarks of Washington. paring be occu irs. Farnham years. Mrs. Farnham leaves behind s number of children and many grown grandchildren. One of her danghters, since dead, married Mr. E. H. Mil- ler, the well-known artist, and another is the wife of Mr. Wright Curtis. Dr. Robert Farn- ham is the surviving son. The time of the funeral is as yet unsettled. The active pallbearers will be E. J. Stellwagen, A. E. Sturtevant, Wm. H. Morrison, C. C. Glover, C. P. Swayze and E. 8. Hall. The honorary pallbearers will be Louis Watkins, C. C. Willard, Wm. B.
