Owing to the unusual number of inclement Saturdays 
and Sundays the receipts from admissions were not 
equal to those of the preceding year, but, nevertheless, 
were much greater than those of any other year since 
1907. 
The important event of the year was the concession 
by the Commissioners of Fairmount Park of an addi- 
tional tract of land for the use of the Society, for which 
the President and Directors desire here to express their 
appreciation. 
When the Garden was opened it was bounded on the 
east by Thirty-fifth Street but, in 1891, this street was 
abandoned and Thirty-fourth Street Drive opened as 
one of the main entrances to the Park; since then, this 
land, between the abandoned street and the new drive, 
although graded and planted with trees by the Park 
Commission, has been of doubtful value as part of the 
City's playground. This tract, of some twelve acres, 
increases the area of the Garden to about fifty acres, 
which is believed to be fully as much as will ever be 
needed for its purposes.
