full detail of the various operations in which they have been 

 engaged. The whole area under treatment, thus far, is 352 

 acres in Prospect Park, and 30 acres on Washington Park. 

 235 acres of the former Park, consisting of woodland 

 shrubbery and meadow, with the intervening roads, walks 

 and waters, are now complete. The finished drives extend 

 over a space of five miles in length, and the bridle paths 

 an equal distance. Of finished walks, we have over five 

 miles, with four additional miles in progress. And the con- 

 struction of the whole design, with a slight exception, may 

 now be said to be complete east of a line drawn through 

 the middle of the Park. Work is more or less advanced 

 over the entire residue of the Park, and the greater part of 

 it can, in the opinion of the landscape architects, be readily 

 placed in a condition suitable for public use, in the course 

 of another season.
