The prompt arrest by the Park Police of the parties detected 
shooting game and song birds in violation of law, merits the hearty 
approval of the Peabody Society, and of all others who have at 
heart the protection of our feathered friends. 
So long as the Park Commissioners maintain their policy of 
furnishing protection, food and shelter, for the birds that visit the 
Park, the birds will surely be found there in increasing numbers, 
and will form one of the many attractions which draw visitors 
to that beautiful place.
