The total receipts on the corresponding lines being
255,710/. in 1851, and 210,960/. in 1850, the increase
is shown to be 41,750/., or 21 per cent. The number
of miles open in 1831 was 3,7811, and in 1850,
3,5101, showing an increase of 2321 miles, or 6i per
cent. The average return per mile per week was
in 1831, 671. I la. 9d., and in 1939, SW. 9s. md., so
that the difference remains in favour of the present
year to the extent of 81. 3s. Id. per mile. Of these
returns, the London and North Western, Lancashire
and Yorkshire, London and South Western, Great
Western, Brighton, and South Eastern, may be
pointed out as particularly favourable. The Great
Western will have benefited by the Reading Races,
and the Londo n and North Western by the Wolver-
hampton Races, both of which meetings have fallen
at the same date in each year. For three days only
in last year's return, the Great Northern mileage
was raised from 113 to 236.
