On the west side or a lake of about an acre in the northeast corner is tho recently completed Japanese gar-don, which Is one of Its beauty spots. From tho lake a brook flows through the center of the garden for about 1,400 feet, diversified by quiet pools, stretches of current, twenty-one waterfalls and a swamp.

In addition to providing an attractive landscape feature the brook furnishes a splendid habitat for aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. Home twenty species of willow line Its bnnk. In the northwest corner of the grounds is the native wild flower garden (local flora section), containing only plants that grow without cultivation within 100 miles of Brooklyn. There aro some 1,000 of them now In process of being labeled. An interesting feature of this section Is a sour-water bog, removed from the plne-liarrena of New Jersey, and containing a rich collection of native bog plants.

The central area of the garden is occupied by a general systematic collection of shrubs and herbs. Dr. (lager has accumulated material for a rock garden, on the western border of tho grounds along Flatbush avenue, and hopes that a gift of about $2,500 from some generous lover of plants will be received In order to make possible the completion of this work. Every cent of this $100,000 was raised by subscription in Brooklyn. A list of subscribers will not be given out for publication.

They attended the swimming races at Avon and went to two big dances, besides motoring to Lakewood and having a sailing party and tennis. Miss Margaret Ames and Harry Love were the features of the very interesting Fourth of July ball at the Oswegatchle House, Waterford, Conn.

They gave an exhibition dance, to much applause, of a combination one-step and the Polals Polka. This Fourth of July ball was distinguished for its cotillon figures and favors, planned by William Pitt Rivers. One of the very entertaining specialties was a bachelors' drill, with all the men robed in black cloaks with sticks of Are over their heads. During this figure the men knelt before the girls.

From the date that It came into existence on paper five years ago and its actual existence three years ago, the garden has laid special emphasis on Its work with children, including special nature talks, classes for practical work In the plant houses and the distribution of seeds for planting at home or at school. In a word the object of the directors of the Brooklyn Institute has been to provide the great educational advantage to be gained by bringing children Into direct contact with nature, affording them an opportunity to work both with hands and brain, and Inculcating an appreciation and love of plant life and thus enlarging the scope of their interests.

"All classes of children have taken advantage of the opportunities afforded here, the attendance during last summer (1914) having averaged more than 1,500 a month.

Last year we distributed more than 25,000, and this year more than 80,000 penny packages of seeds. Last year there were 266 class exercises and lectures under our auspices here I mean classes In our 29 own courses taught by 14 curators and myself. We offer courses ranging from three to eleven months In length, and these have very widely been taken advantage of, especially among the teachers of botany to children and prospective teachers. The tuition ranges from $15 down, the course. "You may Judge as to how overcrowded we have been here when I tell you that during the past year we took care of an attendance of 1,500 monthly from the public schools, with their teachers, In a class room that accommodates 60.

"Lectures were given In the Botanic Garden that were attended by 7,214 adults and chlldron. Five hundred children's gardens homes and schools were visited during last summer by our curators. The demand for this work, especially at the Botanic Garden, Is almost twice as great as our present ability to handle It. "The Individual plots as gardens for children, both boys and girls, have been a great success. About 150 children have tended these plots, and taken pride In their gardens, raising vegetables of many varieties.

By next year we hope to add to the ground thus to be allotted several acres opposite the Wlllink entrance to Prospect Park, on Flatbush avenue. Small Cost of Maintaining; Botanical Garden, "In considering the advantages obtained by the city's residents from the Botanical Gardens, It is Interesting to learn, as I have Just figured out, that the cost Is less than seven-tenths of a cent for each Inhabitant, or ono-two-hundredth of a mill of the assessed valuation of the real estate of Brooklyn." Dr. Gager and the fourteen curators assisting him at the garden have 105,000 specimens of plant life in their care. The main building, the enlargement of which Is now made possible, has accommodation for the general offices, the elementary and pnysiologlcal laboratory, a photographio operating room and dark room, a constant temperature room for experimental work, and two private research rooms. Some of those many spectacles have been searched for behind lounges, un MISS CAJEMMERER, ENGAGED, Mrs.

Alex Caem merer of 329 East der tames, in ramny Bibles and on mantel shelves, but no one has thought less passengers than the prescribed one and one-half times their seating capacity. One factor leading to this result may be the wide employment of the much-abused running-board type of open car, which, despite its antiquated style of construction, has a seating capacity of about 65 passengers much greater than that of tha larger and more modern center-aisle, open cars. It would be almost a physical impossibility to crowd 97 passengers, or lli times their capacity, into one of the old type open cars. It is, therefore, apparent that the over-crowding order would not affect them, even though the standees covered the entire runnlng-bourd along the side of the car. Both the Third Avenue and the Flathush-Keventh Avenue lines already show the effect of the operation of the Fourth avenue subway, which, during the brief period of its operation, has materially decreased the congestion on these lines.

The disgraceful conditions once prevalent on the Third Avenue Line appear to be a thing of the past, and observations last Wednesday evening during the heaviest part of the rush hour bore out this belief at least, so far as the summer season Is concerned. Despite the use of a short type of running-board car, seating but 50 passengers, but few of the passengers on this line were compelled to ride on the running-board, and several of the cars went through with scattering vacant seats visible to the observer. By count taken of tho passengers riding on the Flathush-Keventh Avenue Line during the evening rush hours, It was found that not a single car carried above 1 V4 times Its seating capacity as it passed the Long Island Railroad Depot, at Atlantic avenue. Car No. 103S of this line, which passed the depot at about 6 o'clock, carried 73 passengers.

As this car was of the large running-board type, this number the greatest between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m. last Wednesday evening did not res.cn the full capacity of tha car. Some of the cars passing during that period carried but 30, or even less, passengers. These conditions may be but temporary, due to the vacation season and other contributing causes; but they are gratifying, to say the leasf), In view of the withdrawal of the overcrowding order. The Health Department promises, however, to continue Its campaign against dangerous overcrowding after the closed cars are again put Into operation, which will be about the latter part of September.
