IMPOUNDED ANIMALS. 



The annoyance resulting from cattle, goats and swine running at 

 large is abating. One hundred and fifty-four animals were im- 

 pounded, which were redeemed by their owners on payment of fines 

 and charges, or sold to pay expenses. 



PUBLIC USE OF THE PARKS. 



During the year records have been made of the number of people 

 visiting the park, and the results in detail will be found in the fol- 

 lowing statement. The whole number for the year is 2,958,539, 

 which is 822,197, or 38 per cent, in advance of last year.

 is also noticeable, 714,240 vehicles having entered the park.
