On several occasions the crowd [[strikethrough]]became[[/strikethrough]] in ^[[the]] [[strikethrough]]that[[/strikethrough]] side room became so dense, and the press so great that it became absolutely necessary to clear the room and close it up for a time.

The grizzly bear and puma outgrew their indoor quarters, and a large outdoor cage, eight feet square, was made for each, and placed ^[[at the edge of]] [[strikethrough]]in[[/strikethrough]] the lawn, in front of the animal house.  In these the grizzly and puma are quite comfortable, and are in much better [[strikethrough]]helth[[/strikethrough]] health than they have ever been before.  Another large out-door cage was made for the eagles, and placed on the lawn near the deer yards, and for the first time since the organization of the department these interesting birds are cared for under proper conditions.  The buffalo yard has been subdivided by cutting off a small section at one side to afford a yard for the Columbian Black-tail Deer, which, during [[strikethrough]]his[[/strikethrough]] ^[[the]] rutting season became so vicious and dangerous that it was necessary to isolate him entirely.  One of the deer yards was also [[strikethrough]]made[[/strikethrough]] ^[[divided]] into two, to furnish a separate yard for the Mountain Sheep.
