The waterway under this bridge is paved with flagging covered 

 with one foot of concrete, to protect the foundations from any 

 possibility of being undermined in times of excessive storms, or of 

 accidents to the pools, which will be located above it. The super- 

 structure is to be of granite, and Ohio stone facings, with a brick 

 arch. 



RETAINING WALLS. 



The retaining walls at the south end of Breeze Hill, which sustain 

 the walks passing between the abutments of the bridge and the lake, 

 have been built. They are of uncoursed rubble masonry. The 

 width of waterway between these walls is forty feet, and the 

 water alongside the walls is to be one foot in depth, when the 

 water in the lake is at Winter level, and four when at Summer 

 level. The top of the wall is to be three feet above the Summer 

 level of the lake. 



LULLWOOD BRIDGE. 



This bridge carries the main walk over the Lullwater, and is to 

 have a clear span of about thirty feet, with two side spans of thirteen 

 feet each. The height from the surface of the water at Summer 

 level to the under side of the bridge will be seven feet, to permit the 

 free passage of boats in Summer, and skaters in Winter. The foun- 

 dation for the piers and abutments have been laid, and the walls 

 completed with the exception of the capstones. 



DAIRY HOUSE. 



A stone dairy house has been commenced, and the walls carried 

 up ready for the plates and roof. The outer walls are of broken 

 Ashlar masonry, formed of small sized stones, obtained by break- 

 ing boulders found on the park. The trimmings are of mountain 

 Graywacke and Ohio stone. The interior walls are of brick, and 

 are finished. 



WALKS. 



The greater portion of the walks made during the year have been 

 surfaced of pine tar concrete, laid under a contract with the Fiske 

 Patent Pavement Flagging Company. The cost for preparing the 

 substructure for the tar walks has been materially reduced this season, 

 as the concrete Avas laid upon the natural soil, wherever it was of 

 tolerably porous material. In, sections where a clayey or retentive
