The receipts from admissions paid at the gate, have 
been greater than during any year in the history of the 
Gardens. 
On account of the high price of labor and materials 
very little new building was undertaken during the 
year, nevertheless an additional cage was erected in 
the monkey house, and in the reptile house a new case 
was made for the Galapagos tortoise and other large 
tortoises that had formerly been kept in the greenhouse 
during the winter, also an outdoor enclosure for ostriches 
was erected at the south end of the new bird house. 
These and the Eld's deer which are now in one of the 
new deer enclosures make two additional species that 
have been kept out of doors throughout the year. The 
new deer park was completed in April and has proven 
to be most satisfactory. Last spring one hundred and 
twenty-five pine trees were planted on the Thirty- 
Fourth Street side of the Garden.
