[15] Note, 1868.—The foundations for this work were commenced last season on a rocky promontory which formed a part of the Croton reservoir inclosure when it was expected to be bounded by street lines, but which has lately been added to the park territory, in accordance with our suggestion.
[16] Note, 1868.—The architectural treatment of the terrace approach has been developed in detail during the progress of the work, but much of the intended effect still remains to be realized.
[17] Note, 1868.—In execution, the lines have been carried out as here indicated, and as the trees grow up the old square reservoir is less and less thought of as an obstruction in the composition.
[18] Note, 1868.—The ground here referred to is now called “The Ramble.”
[19] Note, 1868.—This suggestion has been partially realized but yet remains to be fully developed.
[20] Note, 1868.—Many of these which we have marked for removal, have hitherto, for various reasons, been allowed to remain.
[21] Note, 1868.—This tract of ground is now recommended as the site for the formal flower garden in connection with a group of architectural structures that will include music-hall, art galleries, horticultural and other museums, and refreshment rooms on a liberal scale; the intention of allowing military exercises on the park having been abandoned, and the Green serving the purpose of the playground above proposed.
[22] Note, 1868,—These plantations have been made as designed.
[23] Note, 1868.—The idea of the berceau walk has been carried out in execution on the south side of the reservoir.
[24] Note, 1868.—In execution the design of this separate bridle road has been much amplified.
