Remarks.
To understand the amount of reliance which can be placed upon the above return, it will be well toexplain the nature of the data upon which it is formed.
The amount received at the doors, and therefore the number of persons paying, on each day, may betaken as perfectly accurate, as every precaution was necessarily taken in checking it by means explainedelsewhere.
After the 5th June, the increasing number of visitors having become a subject of considerable publicinterest, the Executive Committee requested the Police to take measures to count the number of personscoming in and going out. Deducting the number of persons paying each day from the total numberentering, the residue gives a fair approximation to the number of people who made use of Season Tickets.It is true that this mode of estimating includes with Season Ticket-holders, some of the staff, jurors,press, exhibitors, attendants, &c., who had free admission ; but the greater number of these came in beforethe doors were open to the public, and were not counted by the Police ; and in general, if known tohave business in the building, they were not counted, at wdiatever hour they came in.
From the opening until the 5th June, the number of visits with Season Tickets is only conjecturaland the total number of visitors on each day must therefore be considered in the same light.
Comparing together the visits on different days of the week with equal payments, it appears thatduring the days 011 which the entrance was five shillings :—
O11 three Mondays the number of visitors was 64,722, average 21,574
