RECEIPTS (WEEKLY).
91
This proportion is, however, not much to he depended upon, as the apprehension of the public actingin different directions rendered the number of visitors in the early part of the first week unnaturally low,and that in the latter part of the third week unnaturally high. The number also of sums from whichthe average is struck is too small to get rid of these causes of error.
The comparison of the four shilling days of twenty successive weeks will give more reliable results:—On twenty Mondays the number of visitors was i ,195,679, average 59,783On twenty Tuesdays ,, 1,244,014 ,, 62,200
On twenty Wednesdays ,, 1,101,225 ,, 55,061
