CQMINCFQR ZOO Fine Bear Specimens Reward Carey’s Efforts—Captured in Yellowstone Reserve. A big, wild grizzly bear and two cubs will be added to the Grant Pa2k Zoo next week. They were shipped from the Government reservation in Yellowstone Park Friday and should reach Atlanta not later than next Wednesday. Manager Dan Carey received a tel egram Friday morning that the bear and cubs had been shipped. He said that their cost to the city of Atlanta, in addition to the express, w’ould be just $62. When Manager Carey visited Wash ington in May, 191 , to attend the playgrounds convention, he took up with the Government the matter of getting a grizzly bear for Grant Park, and has kept steadily at it. More than 50 letters have been exchanged between Manager Carey and the Government officials, it appearing it times that there would be no chance of getting this prize specimen, but Manager Carey kept steadily at it an 1 the telegram stating that they had been shinned was the culmination. Yellowstone Park is the only place where it is possible to obtain a real grizzly bear, and the expense was in curred in the capture, no charge be ing made by the Government. In the open market a specimen of this kind—the weight of the bear and cubs being 1.400 rounds—would cost several hundred dollars. U. S.
