48 



stands, boo] closets and water closets, have been erected. A decorated 

 flagstaff has also been lately set up. 



None of these improvements were completed until the end of the 

 season, but the effect in increasing the value of the Park to the public 

 was evident during all the latter part of the summer and autumn in 

 an attendance fully twice as large as was observed the previous year. 



Respectfully, 



OLMSTED, VAUX & CO., 



Landscape Architects and Superintendents. 



Brooklyn, January 1, 1809.
