It would seem that Bridget, the monkey at the Timaru Park, has friends outside of Timaru, as well as locally (savs the “Herald”). The park curator is in receipt of a letter from a lad in Otago asking to be given the monkey to keep as a pet, his object being to prevent the carrying-out of the sentence of death, which it was understood had been passed on it. Prompted bv a similar reason, the donor of this monkey has written asking that Bridget be given back to him, if it is intended to destroy her; and a lad has written thanking the curator for his championship of the animal . In the meantime Bridget, all unconscious of the fate which has been hanging over her, and of the discussions of which she has been the subject, eats, drinks, sleeps, and is merrv. rid continues to be a never-fciiing attraction to the youngsters who visit the park, as well as to “children of older growth.”
