Casey.

Gasoy is the name of a big chimpanzee at the Sydney' Zoo (saj'B the Sydney Sun), and lie answers to it like a bored old man. aiid goes through liis nerformances as if he wej •<? dissatisfied with his salary and liad ji rooted objection to overtime. 1 1 is a strong cage that holds C'as«;p uul one wonders -where and how he >vill be placed in tho new Zoo at L'aronga Park. Whereror a man ;nn get to, wind to a good many oases i man cannot climb, Casey can take lis huge 'bulk. He is a remarkably ntolligent chimpanzee, but is (sometimes no bad-tern pored, especially ifter he has been annoyed by seeing lie multi-coloured costumes of Inlin on Sundays, that he has to be rcated as a bad boy with a big tick. But there is some risk about iclabouring Casey. Occasionally hi akes the stick from his chastiser

and thrashes him, and the latter lias to make ;< hurried exit. Casey >s J .stronger than a man, but lie is afraid of two. It is necessary to add that u'lipn he is beaten ho richly deserves the treatment, because his habits are sometimes unpleasant. His accomplishments .are varied. His oan smoke a cigarette or a pipe, wave good-bye to the ladies when asked to do so, perform prodigious climbing feats, and ufjuare-up like a prize-fighter. "Sliow us your Jack Johnson lip, I Oascv." said Mr J. Miller to him the other day, and the giant chimpanzee protruded vi lower lip about six inches long. "Put out your tongue," and eight inches of red meat illumined the oage.
