The garden has become the favorite resort of the European community of Lahore and Mian Mir for fetes, picnics and other parties of various kinds. The grounds are, on such occasions, artistically laid out with walks, flower beds and promenades; the fountains play ; the branches are tastefully formed into graceful arches over the walks. The illuminations have a most admirable effect on the luxuriant foliage of the mango and orange trees, and their bright reflections in the watery sheets below spread like so many transparent mirrors, constitute a magic scene.

The fireworks, diffused in most singular lights and colors, float the garden in an ocean of fame.
