HOW TO REACH THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. 



Via West Farms. — The Boston Road entrance is four blocks 

 from the terminus of the follow h g trolley lines which convene at 

 West Furms: Third Avenue and Boston Road line from 129th 

 Street; the Southern Boulevard line; Tremont Avenue and West- 

 chester line, and the Williamsbridge and Mount Vernon line. 

 Visitors to the Park over any of these lines should alight at West 

 Farms, from whence a walk of four blocks up the Boston Road 

 leads to the southeast corner of the Buffalo Range. 



Via the Third Avenue Elevated. — At present the terminus of 

 the Third Avenue Elevated Railway is at Tremont Avenue (177th 

 Street), and visitors coming from points south of 129th Street will 

 do well to take the Elevated to that point, transfer to the Tremont 

 Avenue trolley, and, for a total fare of eight cents, land at West 

 Farms. In a short time the Third Avenue Elevated Road will 

 reach Pelham Avenue at Fordham. 



Via the Third Avenue Trolley Ltne.— Visitors desiring to 

 reach the Northwest Entrance, instead of going to West Farms, 

 should alight at Pelham Avenue and either walk to the entrance 

 or take a carriage (twenty-five cents). 



Via the PIarlem Railway. — A very convenient and quick way 

 to reach the Park from lower New York is to take the Harlem 

 Railway from Grand Central Station to Fordham Station (twenty- 

 five cents for the round trip). On week days, morning trains leave 

 Forty-second Street at thirty-five minutes past each hour, except 

 1 1. 15, and every half hour between 12.15 and 4.15 p.m. On Sun- 

 days, trains leave hourly all day at fifty minutes past each hour. 

 Alight at Fordham Station, not Bedford Park, from whence a car- 

 riage may be taken to the Park for twenty-five cents for each per- 

 son. Distance, half a mile. 



Via the Sixth, Eighth, and Ninth Avenue Elevated. — The 

 most expeditious way to reach the Zoological Park from the west 

 side is by elevated cars to 135th Street, thence by the 135th Street 

 trolley line, transferring again to a West Farms trolley-car at 138th 

 Street and Third Avenue. 



By Carriage from Lower New York. — Persons driving to the 

 Zoological Park from lower New York should drive up Jerome 

 Avenue to Fordham Road; thence eastward over Fordham Road 

 to Pelham Avenue one mile and a quarter to the Northwest En- 

 trance to the Park. Until the carriage entrance is constructed, there 

 is no entrance for carriages into the grounds occupied by the ani- 

 mal collections, but the Boston Road leads through the most beau- 

 tiful portion of the Zoological Park.

ADVANTAGES OF MEMBERSHIP. 



Among the advantages of membership in the New York 

 Zoological Society are, first of all, the satisfaction of taking 

 part in a great popular enterprise of the utmost interest to 

 every lover of Nature and her works. The direct practical 

 benefits to members are as follows : Admission to the Zo- 

 ological Park on the two days of each week when to the 

 general crowds it will be closed, except upon payment of 

 an admission fee; the privilege of the library building, the 

 library, and its picture collections ; the receipt of the So- 

 ciety's publications, many of which will undoubtedly pos- 

 sess considerable artistic and literary value, and will be free 

 to members only; the privileges of all lectures, receptions, 

 and special exhibitions. In brief, the time will soon come 

 when the Society will give ample returns for the assistance 

 of those who come forward helpfully during the initial 

 stages of its work. 



Applications for membership should be addressed to 

 Madison Grant, Secretary, No. 11 Wall Street, or handed 

 to the Director of the Zoological Park, at his office, in the 

 Elk House.
