OPENING OF THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. 



A year ago it was hoped that the improvement of the Zoological 

 Park could proceed so rapidly that the Park might be opened to 

 the public in May, 1899; but this hope has not been realized. 

 The volume of work has proven so great and so complex, and 

 the necessity for caution at every point has been so imperative, 

 it has proven a practical impossibility to rush the work sufficiently 

 to make possible a satisfactory opening on the date mentioned. 



'The majority of these drawings measure 9x13 inches, but a few are 1 1x15.
