These cases have been in most instances promptly acted upon by 

 the several magistrates before whom they have been taken. 



The trouble and annoyance heretofore attending the running at 

 large of animals of all kinds, belonging to persons living in the 

 neighborhood of the Park, has been almost entirely abated since the 

 establishment of a pound, under the jurisdiction of the Commission. 

 Two hundred and fifty animals, including horses, cows, goats, calves 

 and hogs have been impounded and redeemed by their owners, or sold 

 to pay expenses, during the year. 



The number of visitors to the Park has been very largely increased. 

 The following tables of persons entering the Park have been made 

 up from daily records at the several entrances. The visitors generally 

 recognize the necessity for a close observance of the rules, and show a 

 desire to co-operate with the keepers in maintaining order.
