BRONX PARKWAY COMMISSION. 



The Bronx Parkway Commission is actively engaged in 

 acquirinpf the land necessary for the Parkway Reservation. Title 

 to the lands donated has been vested in the Commission, and a 

 very substantial portion of the Parkway has already been ac- 

 ouired. Some idea of the magnitude of this undertaking may be 

 derived from the fact that 1,200 separate titles are involved, 

 running from a single lot up to tracts many acres in extent. 



LADIES AUXILIARY. 



During the past year the Ladies Auxiliary have been of 

 great assistance in promoting interest in the general activities 

 of the Society, especially among Junior members of the com- 

 munity, who, at some future day, will be called upon to sustain 

 the Society. An annual Spring Garden Party is held at the 

 Zoological Park each May, and an annual midwinter lecture at 

 the Colony Club on a subject calculated to inspire a visit to 

 the Park. They were also active during the year campaigning 

 for the prohibition of the importation of egret and paradise 

 feathers, pledging themselves by example and influence to ar- 

 rest the sale of these feathers for millinery purposes. Efforts 

 have also been made to secure the co-operation of the ladies of 

 England, Germany and France in the preservation of wild bird 

 life, and pledges were received from a number of Ladies Clubs 

 in different states of this country to help actively in this world- 

 wide movement to preserve bird life. 



Your committee desire to take this opportunity to express 

 their appreciation of the interest aroused and the assistance 

 rendered by the Ladies Auxiliary.

 one years of age pay an annual membership fee of $5. The 

 objects of the Auxiliary are to promote civic interest among
