Twenty-six animals and birds were presented to the Garden. Nearly all the buildings were completed; the opening of the new lion house, however, was delayed. The projected new elephant house was also put off for a while. During the year there was an exhibition of living pictures, and a troupe of natives of Samoa performed in the Garden. The Garden is open from early morning till late at night. Entrance 60 pfennig, children 30 pfennig. On the first Sundays of the months of May, June, July, August, and September for grown-up people the charge is 30 pfennig, and for children 15 pfennig. After 7 p.m. the price of entrance is less. On fête-days the committee reserve the right of raising the prices. Season-tickets for families of 3 people are 20 marks; for more than 3 people, 25 marks; for one person, 10 marks; for students, schools, etc., 5 marks. Shareholders have free entrance on showing their cards, which are not transferable. On fête-days the Director can order extra payment to be made by the shareholders. No dogs are admitted, and no teasing of the animals is allowed. No walking on grass or flower-beds, and no picking of flowers is permitted. No animals may be fed with grass or foliage, nor with cooked or raw meat. No one may get over the barrier, the penalty being eviction from the Garden; and the offender is also answerable for all damage done either to himself or to the animals. * * * * * After passing the turnstile, one is confronted with a large artificial rockwork grotto and waterfall. Passing through a second fine grotto, we see pheasant pens, and next to them some bear dens, the latter with hand-painted backgrounds. The lion house is brand-new, and well built and appointed. It contains a valuable collection of big cats, including several lions (one with a magnificent mane), two baby lions, and two baby servals a few weeks old. It being Whit Sunday when I saw the Garden, the crowd was so great that one could scarcely get through the house. At the end of it was a well-executed stained-glass window, depicting two lions among rocks looking over a large open plain. There are some large duck-ponds and a house for wading-birds. The antelope house contains nylgai, _Oryx beisa_, _Oryx leucoryx_, white-tailed gnus, several zebras, and a tiny black bear cub.
