ARCHWAYS, BRIDGES. 



The Enterdale Arch, near the main entrance, has been finished 

 during the year. Also, the Meadowport Arch, with the exception of 

 the wooden lining, and the Nethermead Arches, excepting the point- 

 ing up of the brickwork. 



The Lullwood Bridge has been completed, and is in use. A small 

 rustic bridge over the Ambergill has been constructed. A tempo- 

 rary wooden bridge has been built across the lake near the south 

 end of Breeze Hill, to connect the finished drives on the opposite sides 

 of the lake, until the permanent bridge shall be built. It is one 

 hundred and eighty -four feet long, thirty-five feet wide, and fourteen 

 feet above summer level of water in the lake. 



DAIRY HOUSE. 



The dairy house has been completed, and is now occupied. 



THE FOUNTAIN. 



The masonry of the fountain basin on the Plaza is nearly com- 

 pleted, and on the occasion of the unveiling of the Lincoln statue, 

 water was, for the first time, thrown from a temporary jet. The 

 gas, water and drainage pipes have all been put in, and are in good 

 working order. 



WALKS. 



Nearly all of the walks laid on the park during the year have 

 been made of tar concrete — a large proportion under the Scrimshaw 

 patent, a portion under the Scharf pavement, and a portion was laid 

 with improved Fisk pavement. All of the tar concrete walks are in 

 good condition, although some of the Fisk concrete walks will, from 

 present indications, require re-surfacing next season. 



THE WELL. 



The well for supplying the park with water is essentially com- 

 pleted, although some of the surroundings, as railings, engine-house 

 roof, &c, are yet unfinished. 



CONSTRUCTION OF WELL. 



The method of sinking the well having been determined upon, the 

 work was commenced as follows : an excavation about sixty feet in 

 diameter was made to a depth of seven feet. Pieces of plank three 

 feet long, ten inches wide, and two inches thick, were then laid upon 

 this bottom at intervals of about three feet from center to center
