An Apology.

To those OF our friends who came out
last evening to attend our Xmas opening
we offer our sincere apologies. ana we
believe you are willing TO forgive our
failure to carry out every part Of the
programme arranged, since such multi
tude of people has never before been
known TO turn out in Richmond for a
similar event. SO great was the crowd,
our fear OF a panic compelled us 10 close
the doors much sooner than the time ad-
yertised. and we feel certain we did those
who were denied admission favor. Those
who were jostled we beg will feel no Ill
will towards us, as every move that was
made by the management was done for
the benefit OF the many, and with the
sole view os preventing accidents. While
we had made every arrangement Tor your
comfort, we could not anticipate such
mass OF people. nor could we in any way
cope with II. Thanking you for your kind
attendance. believe US. truly. etc.
