ADMISSION. 
Free Admission.—On all holidays, and on Sunday, Tues-

is open free to the public. 
Pay Admission.—On every Monday and Thursday, save 
when either of those days falls on a holiday, all members of 
the Zoological Society who surrender coupons from their 
membership tickets, and all other persons holding tickets 
from the Society, will be admitted free. All other persons 
seeking admission will be admitted on payment of twenty- 
five cents for each adult, and fifteen cents for each child 
under twelve years of age. Tickets are sold only at the

Holidays on Pay Days.—Whenever a legal holiday falls

Hours for Opening and Closing.—From May Ist to No- 
vember Ist the gates will be opened at 9 A. M. daily, and

Entrances, Walks, etc.—The portion of the Zoological 
Park situated west of the Boston Road has been enclosed. 
Access to this area is provided by six entrances, one situated 
at each corner—one on the Boston Road and one at the 
bridge on Pelham Avenue. The latter is a carriage entrance 
for visitors wishing to drive to the north end of Baird 
Court. From all these entrances broad walks lead into the 
Park and through it, reaching all the collections of animals 
now installed. 
Carriage Roads.—The only wagon road which enters the 
central portion of the Park now occupied by animals is the 
Service Road, which enters from the Southern Boulevard, 
at 185th Street, and runs eastward, to the Service Building, 
Reptile House, Bear Dens, and Rocking Stone Restaurant. 
This road is for business purposes only, and is not open for 
the vehicles of visitors. It is utterly impossible to admit 
carriages to the center of the Park, save those of officers 
entering on business, and visitors must not ask for exceptions 
to this very necessary rule. 
Automobile and Carriage Entrance.—A fine public ear- 
riage road and concourse, leading from Pelham Avenue 
Bridge and to the upper end of Baird Court, was completed 
in 1908. This drive is open to carriages or motors, daily,
