A large amount of peat at the proposed location of the pools has 

 heen excavated. This peat, treated with proper chemical re-agents, 

 and composted with different manures, will be of great value in the 

 improvement of the park soil. Manures of different kinds have been 

 procured during the year, the particulars in regard to which are given 

 by Mr. Culyer in his report, and preparations have been made for 

 having on hand, for future use, the fertilizing materials especially suita-
