terrace walls has been laid, the irregular ashlar dressed, and a large 

 amount of the stone for the superstructure is on hand, and partly cut, 

 so that this work can be actively pushed forward in the spring. 



RIDES. 



The Nethermead ride has been brought to grade, and entirely 

 completed. Branch rides have been built from the east ride to the 

 dairy and dairy cottage stable. A series of trails has been con- 

 structed on the hill between the east ride and its east branch. The 

 ride skirting the carriage concourse and the south and west shores 

 of the lake is finished as far as the westerly end of Look-out bill. 

 There remains but a small portion to be constructed in order t> con- 

 nect it with the Nethermead ride. 



WALKS. 



The Westdale walk has been completed from the edge of the pic- 

 nic woods to the head of the pool system where it crosses the brook 

 connecting the first and second pools by means of a rustic bridge, 

 and becomes a continuation of a branch of the Eastdale walk, which 

 skirts the southerly side of the two large pools, and has been com- 

 pleted during the year. 



A branch of the Westdale walk has been commenced, running 

 from the largest pool along the foot of the westerly slope of Ceme- 

 tery hill. 



The walks in the immediate vicinity of the dairy cottage have 

 been brought to grade, and laid with tar concrete pavement. Work 

 in this vicinity is now entirely complete. 



The Ambergill walk has been brought to grade by a covering of 

 gravel four inches thick. 



The Eastdale walk has been finished from the Eastdale bridge to 

 the Nethermead arches. Two walks, eight feet wide, have been built 

 connecting this last-named walk with road-steps on the drive crossing 

 the Nethermead arches. 



The walks leading from the pedestrian concourse, and skirting 

 the south and west shores of the lake, have been finished with tar 

 concrete as far as the summit of the south lake drive, and subgraded 

 as far as the westerly end of Look-out hill. 



The walks on the Peninsula have been surfaced with tar concrete 

 as far as the proposed terrace building.
