Three new animals were yesterday received at the Central Park Menagerie. The first was a macaw, from Para. Brazil, a gift from W. M. Ivins, Jr., of 123 West Eighty-sixth Street, and the second was a South American anteater, presented by a resident of Narragansett, R. I.
    The third was a capuchin monkey, presented by Dr. Wynkoop of 128 Madison Avenue. The monkey was born in captivity five years ago, and was a pet in the doctor's family. Prof. Garner, who often visits the monkeys in the menagerie, took a great fancy to this capuchin, which was put into a cage already occupied by another monkey of its kind.
