Fourteen additonal garden benches of red cedar have been 
built and placed in shady spots along the paths. In October 
they were all collected and stored in the cellar of the con- 
servatories for the winter. 
About 20 tons of hay were cut and stored in barracks near 
the stables, providing fodder for the garden horses. Most 
of the cutting was confined to the east side of the Bronx 
River, but about 3 tons were obtained from the northern part 
of the fruticetum. 
The horses are all in first-class health, and no veterinary 
surgeon nor medicine was required during the year. The 
wagons, carts and other equipment are all in good service- 
able condition. 
Respectfully submitted, 
F. A. ScuInuine, 
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.
