The extent of ground which lias been under treatment 

 during the year is over two hundred acres; the whole area 

 finished being one hundred and forty acres, exclusive of 

 roads, walks and waters; of which area one hundred 

 and nine are slopes and meadows, and thirty-one wood- 

 land. The finished drives now amount to nearly three 

 miles and a quarter, being a little more than two miles 

 in excess of that which we were able to report last year. 

 Of bridle paths, we have nearly a mile and a half fin- 

 ished or well progressed ; and of walks three miles and 

 three quarters are completed, and nearly five additional 

 miles in progress. The very large and continually increas- 

 ing number of delighted visitors show how thoroughly 

 these walks and drives are appreciated by them. A fine 

 specimen of rustic work has been erected near the main 

 entrance to the Park for a Summer house ; and a vine- 

 covered trellis work, with seats overlooking the children's 

 play ground, commands a beautiful sea and island view, 

 and when covered with the foliage and flowers of climbing 

 plants, will afford grateful shelter to all such as may be 

 disposed to linger in its shade.
