ROUNDUP OPENING
DEIAYED BY SUIT
Civil proceedings in the courts
threatened fer a short time to prevent
the use of the Roundup grounds Mon
day but the opening performance was
begun about an hour late after Judge
Law vacated a judgment brought last
spring by M. S. Cunningham and
Hans Biering against the roundup as
sociation, and setting the date for
the hearing in the matter for Monday,
August 10.
The sheriff had received the writ
of attachment and locked the gates
at the stadium, holding thousands
from entering the place for more than
two hours. The order of the couit
■ automatically allowed the sheriff to
remove the padlocks and the crowds
streamed into the bleachers and
grand-stand.

they write in regard to "taking up

Takes Fancy to Carpenter
Who Dislikes Species.
New York.—An unusually large and
valuable collection of rare birds ami
beasts from vhe Upper Amazon ar
rived In New York from Para and
Pernambuco.
The collection ar y lve ^ charge of
Philip Schuman, who had spent five
rump öiuu
months, and had employed six hun
dred Indians in bringing it together.
The gems of the collection a» 1 « ■
Moracaja Jaguar, a beast about the
size of a fox-terrier, with a curious
mark on its forehead resembling a
Chinese laundry ticket; three alinkers.
large birds the size of pheasants, with
a unicorn-like spike on their beads
and sheathed spikes on their shoulders
for offensive purposes ; a rare and
very valuable yellow parrot, a white
marmoset four inches long, and a
three-year-old tapir, the size of a
Shetland pony, very affectionate.
The collection also includes 44
monkeys, 19 macaws, 22 marcos ducks,
B maracas, 6 garsas, 9 kutios, 3 antas,
26 parrots, 8 Jacamees, 5 mutons, 5
alligators, 8 snakes, including a flfteen
foot boa-constrictor; 8 owls, 21 land
turtles, 1 gwara, 1 three-toed web
footed giant Brazilian . waterhog,
which resembles a highly magnified
guinea pig, and 9 anteaters.
The entire collection was housed 09
the forward hatch 'and covered by a
canvas tarpaulin. This unusual dis
position of such a perishable cargo
was explained by Capt. Walter Denson
as due to the light cargo and the at
titude of the crew.
A Royal Foast of Nuts.
"Except for a little rubber and the
animals the only cargo aboard was 500
tons of Brazil nota. If we had struck
any sort of a sea the cargo would have
shifted, the animals would have
broken loose and, let alone the Job of
recapturing them, would have feasted
royally on Brazil nuts from Pars to
Sandy Hook. * ■ tw

housed in the forecastle, but the crew
objected.
So the only alternative was to put
them on the forward hatch, which we
did. There was room for all but the
tapir. At first the chief officer tried
to have the beast stowed separately*in
the carpenter's shop. But the latter
came to me and requested to be pot
in irons.
I
It ain't Christian,' was all he
would say. Alf Moore was his name,
and he said he had lost a cousin in
u 4
stralia from the kick of a tapir,
s orl right for 'im to sye that the
beast's gentle,' Moore declared, 'but all
I knows is that you'll 'ave to put me
in the brig for mutiny afore I ships
with that bloodthirsty reptile.'
• "The worst of it was that the tapir
seemed to have taken a fancy to Alf.
We made him fix the cage on top of
the others, surrounded by the ant
eaters and the waterhog to steady It.
But every time the ship rolled the
cage swayed, and no amount of stay
ing could make it fast. All the time
Alf was working, the tapir kept wrig
gling his nose st him and uttering low
o( affection. Bot Alt took no
notice.
"All went well until two nights out
a
from New York we struck a nasty Utile
sea crossing the Gulf stream. Alf
felt hungry along toward midnight and
stole aft to the galley to brew a mug
of hot tea on the sly. As he passed
the tapir the beast gave a mournful
cry of recognition, but Alf hurried on.
Frightened by the Tapir.
"A bit later the chief engineer, Mr.
Brand, spied something moving against
the cyack of light by the galley door,
.^mu^ng to play a joke on Chips, who
had got so he couldn't bear to have
tapirs spoken of in, ,his presence, he
sung out, 'Loo$ out, the tapir's broken
loose.' .
"'Oh Gawd I the tapir I' Alf yelled,
and dove Thto/the lazareet and barri
caded the door.
"Wotd passed that the tapir was
loose, and eight men and the boson
begkh hunting It in the dark. It was
dirty weather, the old ship rolling, ske
was so light, all the birds and animals
squalling and Jabbering, the Jaguar
meowing like a chorus of tomcats,
and the anteaters giving shrill crie$.
"The men carried no lantern,
there was one nasty moment when

roughly, and It didn't make matters
any better when they explained that
