WELLINGTON'S "ZOO."
Wellington has a Zoo—a colonial one with one lion and a lot of insects! Sjme birds of doubtful interest are include:!, but there is one real touch of the zoology about the institution, and that is (hat the authorities have appointed an ex-zoo keeper as superintendent of the lion and other specimens. Masterton could run a zoo of almost equal attractiveness. The Park Lake could form the nucleus, as there are two black swans and one white one to stock the ornithological section, and the public could fill in the missing detail of what might constitute a good zoo with some imaginative work. The public of the Metropolis will need an elastic imagination to believe that the Newtown Park concern is a Zoo.
