These figures afford the means of ascertaining the at-
tendance at the bazaar (exclusive of, perhaps, 250 tickets
for the ladies at the stalls, the committees, and stewards.
Thus we find, that on Monday, there were (rejecting
units) 1,260 persons present, and 400 in the evening ;
both at the half-crown admission. On Tuesday, at
the one shilling admission, there were 4,370 in the
morning, and 2,470 in the evening ; or 6,840 persons
through the theatre in seven' hours! On Wednesday
morning, there were 3,040 ; and evening, 2,630 ; or 5,670
in the seven hours. On Thursday morning (only) the
admission was again raised to 2s. Gd. and there were
1,030 visitors; in the evening, at the is. admission,'l,BBo;
or 2,910 in the seven hours. Yesterday morning there
were 1,660; evening, 2,000; or 3,660 in the seven hours.
This gives a total of t 20,740 persons who have passed
through the bazaar in the 35 hours of the five days!
The total amount collected in the five days, from Mon-
day to Friday inclusive, was 6,0851. Is. 7d. In addition
to this very large amount, the Committee had received, to
yesterday afternoon, pecuniary donations to the amount
of more than 8501.; so that the sum received in the five
days amounts to not less than seven thousand pounds
