BOTANICAL GARDENS

RE-OPENED..

CHANGES AFTER COMPLE- TION OF FILTER-BEDS After a 'process of upheaval, the lower terraces of the Botanical Gardens which for many months past had been a scone of much as tivity in connexion with a system of underground filter beda, were yes terday restored to public use, but

somewhat altored in appearanco.

The

old fountain, with its picturesque flora and aquatic life, has had to disappear in the course of the works, but on thoir comple- tion a new fountain and basin have been built. The distinctive fea tures in the new arrangement are a multi-jet spray set within the ornamental centre plece in the top basin, and four big life-like green bull-frogs, each projecting separate stream from the lower basin. Later, it is understood, gold fab and aquatic plants may be in- troduced into the lower basin, but just now the work appears distres singly new by comparison with the old fountain, despite the artistry of its appearance.

The new Alter beds have been entirely covered over with a pattern of turf patches, and randy watke, and their presence. undurground would not be guessed at but for the two small buildings guarding the approaches. These two structures flank the flight of steps leading up to the statue of Sir Arthur Kennedy.

A decided improvement is the provision of a small pavillon at one end of the terrace, which was much appreciated yesterday by the large number of children and their atten- dants who turned up to gaze the transformation.
