IN THE ANNEXED DISTRICT
THE PARK MENAGERIE-sOCIAL FEATURE

THE PARK MENAGERIE-SOCIALF FEATURES
The evident disposition Of the Park Commissioners
TO comply at last with the public demand that tho
menagere be removed TO some place outside of Central
Park has encouraged the residents OF the Annexed
District TO hope that geological garden Will be es-
tabllshed In of the large new parks. President
Gallup has suggested that the menagere might be re-
moved TO Carcmont CrOtOna Park. These parks
are small and are placed that no large geological
garden could be placed in them without causing an
noyance to the residents OF the neigborhood. IL the
menagec is to be placed In OF the outlying parks,
large enough plot of ground should be taken 10 aiio"
Of the extension Of the present menagene INTO COL
lection Of animals and birds. and perhaps OF plants ana
flowers, which would furnish amusement and instruc-
ton 10 many visitors. A sufficient quantity OF lana
could be found in either Van CORTLAND Park, Pelham
Bay Park or Bronx Park, containing a good water
supply and some variety OF sceDcry. in such pace
geological collection could be gathered whch WOaa
be creditable the city. These parks are 80 larEs
that sites could be easily obtained, far enough from inc
residence district avoid any annoyance to queoVh5
citizens Van CORTLAND Park offers perhaps some speca
advantages but any Of the three would be suit
able place. The bill which the Park Commissioners
expect to send Albany should be decisive as 10 lc
moving the menagerie from Central Park Dut 'he
exact site which shall be removed may wei a"as
further discussion and consideration.
