And then one of them, former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, in his capacity as rental agent for the Prospect Park Zoo, went on a tour of inspection of many of the cages or "apartments," commented shrewdly and sometimes humorously on the good points of his "tenants," and even shook hands with one of them (an African chimpanzee).
