all the animals to die after the park had been well stocked several years ago. 3 The day being Monday to Art Museum was closed so I missed that- 7:30 P. M. train for the Trans-andeive journey at the station on departure I witnessed a sincere scene of real emotion in this country. Men individually and another goodbye saying they embraced each other & kissed necks a cheek making a series of loud exclamatory sound while tears flowed freely from their eyes. The women of course did likewise but for hardened men to go thru such feeling scenes seems very ridiculous. They recovered from their sadness soon enough after the train got underway, I understand.
