stream of visitors shows natural and
healthy increase for each day from last
Saturday. The first day there were

except Sunday has been skipped not
withstanding the fact that one of
the days a most disagreeable storm
ragged and people did not go out much.

ranged there will undoubtedly be a
heavy drain on the other books. Two
very valuable reference books have
been added today. One is the Stand
