THE CORBIN GAME PARK. 423 
The development of Mr. Corbin’s game park enterprise is being 
watched with decided interest by sportsmen and naturalists. It hap- 
pens that the present article has been prepared just in time to supply 
additional information on the subject sought by the directors of the 
new National Zodlogical Garden in Washington. Suecess in New 
Hampshire, when it shall have been demonstrated beyond the perad- 
venture of a doubt, will prompt similar enterprises in other parts of 
the country. While much interest is felt in the introduction of foreign 
species, Americans are naturally most concerned with the successful 
conservation of bands of American big game, the elk and the antelope 
and the buffalo. Of the unfamiliar picture these great animals present, 
grouped ona New Hampshire hilltop, our cut, from a photograph, 
gives excellent illustration. May these wild creatures yet feed on a 
thousand hills of the New England and other Eastern States, and on 
the game preserves of the west! 
Besides the great New Hampshire park, Mr. Corbin has two other 
game preserves. On his Long Island estate he now has 21 eli and 
about 18 deer, and at Manhattan Beach he has 25 elk. At the latter 
place he has 10 acres inclosed with an open wire fence. There will 
soon be dug here a large pond, which will be filled with salt water from 
the tides of Sheepshead Bay. In this pond are to be a dozen seals and 
10 sea lions. The former are now on their way from St. Johns, New- 
foundland, and the latter are making their long journey from the Pa- 
cific coast. Later in the summer a number of other animals will be 
added to the inclosure.
