Antedating
the
zoo
in
Griffith
Park
by
35
years
, the

ostriches
brought
to
America

kept
there in
corrals
on the
site
of the
present
large
picnic
ground
,
where
this
oak
is
still
to be
seen
on
September
24
,

. The
giant
birds
more
than
once
kicked
through
the
fences
and were
pursued
by
vaqueros

horseback
up
San

Valley

dummy
steam
line
carried
visitors
out
to the
park
then. The
picture

the
station
at the
end
of the
line

famous
oak
tree
later
in
1955
was
suggested
as a
national
symbol
