The various places of summer amusement in and
near the metropolis are already sounding the note of prepa-
ration. Foremost among them, as usual, is the Royal Sur-
rey Zoological Gardens. air. Danson and a host of assistants
have been occupied for weeks past on a subject which we are
told is to leave all the preceding ones in the shade. Most
extraordinary, novel, and astounding effects are to be intro-
duced, while the pictorial beauties will be of the most en-
chanting kind. Extensive alterations on the grounds have
been effected, and a large and expensive addition 0 the Zoo-
