On May 28, 1920, the following animals were crated and 
shipped to London: 2 white-tailed deer, 2 raccoons, 2 timber 
wolves, 2 Canadian porcupines and 2 opossums. 
The Washington Irving High School was furnished, as has 
been the custom during several years, with a series of mammals, 
birds and reptiles for its Zoological Room. These animals are 
returned to the Park with the beginning of each vacation period, 
then sent back to the school with the re-opening in the autumn. 
One of our keepers is sent weekly to the school to see that the 
series of specimens remains in good condition. 
On September 17, 1920, Mr. A. K. Haagner, Director of the 
National Zoological Gardens of South Africa, at Pretoria, deliv- 
ered a lecture in the Administration Building at the Park. His 
remarks related to zoological gardens and game conditions in 
Africa. This lecture was illustrated with stereoptican slides and 
motion pictures and among the latter were scenes of an elephant 
hunt.
