We could see the birds, native and foreign, flying from branch to branch of trees which grew within their gigantic cages, and occasionally we heard the notes of some songster.

Yonder, too, we saw deer browsing, and elk and antelope.

There also were the buffalo and the grizzly bear; and apparently all forgot that, shut in as they were in wide enclosures, they were in captivity.

We could not fail to observe the bright flower-beds on every hand, the pleasant groves, the shady walks, the grottoes of wild design, the woodland retreats, the sylvan bowers.

The park, we were told by our communicative driver, John Carter, comprises ten hundred and forty acres of ground.
