This comparison is highly favourable, but the in-

The figures for 1854 of the Brighton Company are
affected by Epsom Races, and those of the Manches-
ter, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, East Lancashire, and
other companies, by Manchester Races last week.
Last Saturday's flower show at the Crystal Palace has
also increased the receipts of the Brighton Company.
