From the Linnaeus Bridge, the party entered the grounds of 

 the Zoological Park and, under the guidance of Dr. W. T. Horna- 

 day, the Director, and several members of his staff, examined the 

 zoological collections with special reference to animals known to 

 Linnaeus. 



The exercises were continued in the evening at the Museum 

 of the Brooklyn Institute with addresses by Messrs. F. A. Lucas, 

 and E. L. Morris, with an exhibition of lantern slides, and musi- 

 cal numbers by the Glee Club of the United Swedish Societies. 



A reception at the Aquarium given by the New York Zoolog- 

 ical Society to the New York Academy of Sciences and Guests, 

 about five hundred people in all, closed the exercises of the day. 

 Features of marine life known to Linnaeus were then demon- 

 strated, and the first view was had of the Aquarium collections, 

 under illumination by night. The centennial of the Aquarium 

 building was commemorated at the same time.
