DUNK AND GOLDDUS®¥ “In the spring the placid zebu longs to taste the budding shoots, ui In the spring the armadilo’s fancy turns to shrubs and’ roots. In this month the alligator seems almost a living thing, And the elephant yearns’ sadly sawdust-covered ring.” —From the unpublished “Poems of the Zoo. for the It was by the’merest accident that a Star reporter marfaged to see the advance sheets of the above book. Were it not a breach of confidence, the name of the author would be published, but he does not wish it re- vealed, even when the poems appear in book form. Like all men of genius, he pre- ters that he shall be anonymous. It can he stated, without a betrayal ,of confidence, however, that he is closely c ected with the Zoo. If space permitted, u review of the whole book would be given here. Many of the poems are worthy of Alfred Austia himself. ‘The one entitled “Why Was I Torn from Sunny Afric’s Sands” is par- tacularly toucaing. In a foot note it is stated that “This poem is dedicated to the estrich during a snowstorm.” Another lyric which is worthy of repro- duction in any collection of poems was calied “I Fain Would Live All Ways.” This, it was explained in the margin, re- ferred to the bunch of snakes in the glass- inclosed casket in the main animal house. and was suggested by the manner in which they passed the long winter months Dh, How E Long For Summer Time Again,” supposed to be the poetic imagery of the Canada porcupine, and “When I Can Lave My Limbs in Rock Creek Once Again,” inspired Ly “Dunk,” the midd! weight clepLant, are two gems that at ence attract the reader by their simplicity and metric charms. It was a perusal of these that induced the reporter to visit the colony of exiles out on Rock creek. It was reasoned that if their yearns were put forth so strongly the direction of “‘tropic clime” and mmer time’ just now, when there is dence that these times are fast ap- proaching, the animals out at the Zoo would show conclusively that they were glad, and felt the spring sensations in them, one and all. Happy and Contented. An inspecticn of them showed that they were happy id apparently in good spir- its. They were livelier than for many months when seen by a Star reporter yes- terday, and the sentiments contained in the book of poems previously mentioned are undoubtedly true to nature and in- spired by an actual state of affairs. All but one of the animals were delighted with the beauty of yesterday's spring-like day. As the representative of Spain at the Zoo, the hyena was cr crabbed, despondent and ugly.“ When its cage was approached it slunk back/into one -corner, hy ring: a eo ee, and its wicked s, glowing with hatred and ferocity, much as to sa a ey “I am _hamper2d now, but if I had a chence in the darkness to shp in on you without possibility of injury ‘to myself I would do it in a minute.” Its whole appearance was repulsive. Altogether different was the appearance of th» eagle in its open cage underneath the blue sky, the sun in the day and the moon and stars at night. The magnificent bird stood majestically on its perch, calm and dignified, its eyes, bright and clear, meeting those of the visitors fearlessly and turning upward to th> sun, at which its gaze Was directed without blinking. The bird sat quietly waiting, an emblem of peace and dignity, occasionally stretching its wings and darting its head forward, as if showing to what heights it could soar and how it could protect itself, if such a thing were required. “It makes a p2rson feel more patriotic just now to look at that bird,” said a man at the Zoo yesterday. It was certainly most springlike in every particular out at the park. The lawns are as green as they are usually in summer, and the air was balmy. Some of the trees have begun to bud, but vegetation, with the exception of the grass, is not far ad- vanced. It will be only a short while, how- ever, until the trees ar2 covered with leaves and the forerunners of summer will have arrived. Peacock's Joyful Voice. When the park was reached yesterday the joyful voice of the peacock was heard, warbling a song evidenly in honor of the season. No doubt, to the mind of the pea- cock, it was something extraordinarily fine. It did not strike the visitor that way, however, but it served to show that the bird was bent on doing what it could to show its pleasure at the arrival of the time of sunny skies and showers between. The ’coons have begun to show signs of great activity. Instead of hanging like inanimate objects, hornets’ nests of fur, on the limbs of the dead tree, which ‘has been given over to them, they run around on the ground, paddle in the pool of water in their inclosure and seem to have taken on a new lease of life. “Dunk” and “Golddust,” the weighty charges of Head Keeper Blackburne, do not so much resemble huge icebergs, or moun- tains of flesh, as they did a few weeks ago. These mountains of flesh have evi- dently heard the voice of Mahomet in the shape of spring, and are getting ready to go to it, or at least meet it haif way. “Dunk” seemed a little disappointed when told that there were, as yet, no cir- cus bills posted up around town, but he has hopes that he will hear of it before leng. He quoted the following, which he thought was appropriate to the times “The circus days have come again, the wdust of the year.” “Dunk” said that In some respects he lenged for the excitement of life “on the ro; again, for he was a member of a circus troupe, but he is relieved now from the fear of going through a trestle at any time, or being smashed up in a railroad wreck. ‘Ihe best. evidences that spring has ar- rived out at the Zoo are the signs posted up on the outside dens of the animal house bearing the mystic words, “Paint.” Head Keeper Blackburne is proud of these dens, and justly, too, for they are the finest ani- mal cages in this or any country. Their arnual spring cleaning and painting is taking place just now. It is necessary to keep them painted constantly, as oth¢- wise they would become rusted. In many other places about the grounds there are signs of renovation. Rauried, but Not Dead. The prairie dogs, which have been in their holes most of the winter, pop out now every once in a while to show that they are not dead, just because they were buried, and catch as much of the sun as they can. The bears, which are supposed to hibernate during the cold weather, are unusually act- ive just now, and show that the blood is coursing freely in their veins, after its stoppage to a certain extent during the cold weather. Old “Tip,” the big grizzly, shuffel up and down in his cage, looking out on the scene approvingly and sucking wind through his teeth with a loud sound. Blackburne says he always does this when ke is in good health and spirits -and is pleased with his surroundings. Inside the main animal house the “Ban- der Log,” as Mr. Ripling says, were live- lier than ever, if possible. Their eyes turn- ed constantly to the windows as if they sheuld have liked nothing better than to be able to get out in the sun and. frisk abcut. While the alligators in the tank were nearly as immovable as they were a few a ago, it was noticed that they man- aged to follow the patch of sunlight on their tank, and bask in it. following it to the edge, with the tips of their noses show- ing above the water, until it disappeared entirely and sank down in the water.

The steckholiers of the Lyceum Company held thelr annual meetfig Monday evening and, as is invartably the’ case,’ the hall was well filled. ‘The president, Edwara:'N. “Bentley, was in the chair and Miss. Virginia Mae P. Stabler was secretary. ‘The treasurer, Samuel B. Wetherald, reported a small balance on hand, and the committee in charge of the piano fund has about $26 toward that object. The “meteorologists, Henry C. Hallu- well aud Henry H.“Miter, furnished an intercst- ing synopsis of the. weather: for the year ending April 4 An-election resulted in the choice of Caleb Stabler, president; Miss Helen L. Thoma: secretary; Wetherail, treusurer; sd: ward J ley, J. Jangey “Shoemaker,” Mrs. Harry W. Davis,’ Miss Salle Ellicott. and Mies Alice Tyson, directors; all to: serve for one year. ‘The final ‘xercise, aud that which always draws the crawd, was the ‘reading of. the annals of Sandy Spring for the past twelve months by the historian, Miss Rebeven I. Miller, and the close attention she received was‘proof ‘of the success of her ef- fort andthe deep interest of an audience com of her friends and neighbors between the ages of eight-and seventy-six years.
