FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 35 
THE ANIMAL FUND. 
By agreement with the City, the receipts from all privileges, 
and the net profits of all sales in the Park, go toward the purchase 
of animals, and are set aside as the “Animal Fund.” 
The Society is receiving a steadily increasing income from the 
entrance fees, sale of guide books, restaurant privileges, and vari- 
ous other franchises within the Park. In the year 1900 the total 
of these amounts was $3,774.83, which was immediately applied 
to the purchase of animals, and to cover the expenses of the 
western trip of the Director, which was undertaken for the sole 
purpose of securing a continuous supply of Western types. 
THE SOCIETY SUBSCRIPTION . FUND. 
Our subscription fund from members, known on our books 
as the Park Improvement Fund, on January 1, 1901, amounted 
to $210,249.88, being an increase of $48,443.34 during the year 
1900, including unpaid subscriptions. This fund is devoted to 
construction, purchase of animals, and, during the past two years, 
to making up deficiencies in maintenance. 
Additional subscriptions from former subscribers, are as fol- 
lows:
