Early in the past year the City Councils appropriated 
$2000 to be expended by the Commissioners of Fairmount 
Park in bettering that portion of the Park occupied by the 
Zoological Garden. This amount was expended in the 
erection of a series of enclosures for pheasants, the existence 
of which will enable the society to properly display a variety 
of these splendid birds and has added materially to the fa- 
cilities of the Garden. 
As was announced in the last report the Board determined, 
at the beginning of the year, to establish a cheap day, by 
fixing the price of admission on Saturdays and holidays (ex- 
cepting 4th July) at ten cents for adults and five cents for 
children. This system was commenced on the 1st of April 
and has proved satisfactory, in that a considerably increased 
attendance has resulted without any material financial loss. 
The reduced rate will be maintained during the coming 
year and as it becomes more widely known, it is hoped that 
the results may be more directly beneficial to the public 
without too seriously curtailing the necessary revenue.
