Yesterday the great Lakeside musica
was held. 1t was a fatterng succeas. The
gate receipts were equal to those of last
year but the general attendance on the
grounds surpassed all previous records II
was stated by the East Mahanoy Junction
depot officials lsst night that the visitors to
the grounds during the day number close
upon 1900.
This figure far exceeded the most san.
guine hopes OF the festival committee, as at
no time did any of the members figure on
an attendance of more than 5000. This
lnerease in the general attendance will no
doubt swell the general receipts of the
committee to figure of net profit above
that of last year.
