Now let us make some comparisons Al
| the Vienna exhibition, the most recent in.
stance, the roster of visitors for the whole
period of one hundred and eighty-six days
the exhibition having been kept open there
on Sunday, shows the following totals:
Total pay admissions (vienna) 1s6
rail- noii.navine, odroi.sc;.: 35gzS2s
Aggregate admissions OF all kinds. 0,6lotoO
Some OF the non-paying admissions were
very cheap tickets to exhibitors attendants
From these figures 1t will be seen that the
pay admissions to the centennial exhibition
for the 1856 days it has been open already
exceed the whole number Of pay admis-
s0ns to the Vienna exhibition during 1856
days by no less number than 1929, 1896
| 1t will also be observed that the proportion
| Of non-payDg admissions to the paying
visitors at the centennial is far less than at
the Vienna exhibition.
For the other exhibitions, unfortunately,
we have not the same data to make com.
PARSONS With, as the aggregate number of
visitors only is given in the reports we
have at hand, without discriminating be-
tween the real or paying visitors and the
admissions of exhibitors, attendants, work
men, officers and others, who were present
in the performance Of duty or service from
Gay to day. But the whole number of all
kinds who attended the London exhibition
of 1861 was G 030, 1876 in al days. Our
exhibition already exceeds tnat by
more than a Milllon. The aggre-
gate admissions Of all kisds to
the Paris exhibition of 1855 was 5,162,-
$50 in 200 days. Our admissions already
exceed that by nearly two millions. The
aggregate numbers of all kinds attending
the London exhibition of 1862 we're G2ll,
l03 in III days. Our pay admissions alone
are within less than halt million of those
figures now, and our aggregate exceeds it
by nearly million.
AT the Paris exhibition of 1867 the whole
number of admissions of all kinds was re.
ported at $500, 900, during period of PIT
days. The centennial admissions for 1876
days are 1855, or, of which, as before
stated, 5,722 4i9 were of paying visitors.
| There seems to be no reasonable room for
doubt that the returns for the twenty-five
remaining exhibition days after October
| IA, Will add million and three quarters to
the aggregate of paying visitors, and a
| quarter of million to the others, thus
making over nine millions in all for 15s
days Sundays excluded) against the s.
500. 500 for Paris in PIT days, Sundays in
cluded. And go again we may state the
fact that there has never been any such
movement of numbers at any international
exhibition in the space Of tune as that
which has marked the centennial
This movement will appear the more
striking when we invite attention to an.
other fact viz, that the aggregate popula.
ton within seven days tlavel of the CEN
tennial exhibition does not exceed forty
five millions, whil.t the aggregate popula-
ton within seven days travel of either OF
! the other great exhibitions was not faI
short of two hundred millions. The only
estimates made in the foregoing statements
relate to tho twenty-five exhibition days
the returns of which are yet to come. The
probabilities" as to these are based on thu
