Caught ■ 8** Serpent.
From The New York American.
After enjoying fine hue Ashing In th*
■treat* of Harlem, Ih* boy* of that
section of Manhattan yesterday exhib
ited the largest snake that ever waa
displayed In th* city outside of a reptile
Wllfc the Iridescent color* of th*
famed okapi and measuring 15 feet 7
Inches, **ld* from It* mashed head, th*
reptile w*s hauled out of the river by
Intrepid small boy*, after It* discovery
by Captain ''Bill’' Wood*, watchman on
th* Third avenue bridge. With the
well-known method* of Ih* Court of
Boyvllle, the youngsters proudly car
ried the hug* serpent on ten barrel
■levs* through the streets of upper
Manhattan.
The appearance of the snake pro
cession In front of a cafe at Lexington
avenue and One Hundred and Thirtieth
street created a emall-elsed riot among
the habltuee of the place. They all de
clared that th* reptilian specimen
measured at least 39 feet and that It
grew In else a* It wa* observed
With due appreciation of th* occa
sion, the policeman along the line of
march failed to make any demonstra
tion against th* snake bearers, and th*
proceialon moved, tAimoleated, along
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth, alreet
Into Park avenue, to One Hundred and
Twenty-ninth street, lo Lexington ave
nue and One Hundred and Thirtieth
atreet. Large crowds viewed the rep
tilian wonder, which woe declared by
all to be the longeet leviathan that
ever languorously lay upon th* limpid
water* of th* Harlem.:
Pert of th* akin'or th* reptile pro*
confiscated by Electrician Hultsren, of
the Third avenue bridge, who has con
structed two life preservers therefrom.
