the gaping crowd for what win follow
when lions, tigers and other ferOciOus
beasts are put through their PAGES in
the big amphitheatre within, under the
guidance of men and women trainers.
It always thrills.
A visitor to COney Island for the first
time would be apt 20 remark that the
crowds that gather there are cheap
that there they spend only nickels and
dimes. All of which is true But were
that visitor to take up his stand before
any one of the popular amusement
booths and there remain all afternoon
and evening lie would soon realize how
soon these dimes and nickels run into
dollars and hundreds of dollars at that
They little realize how much is spent
at COney Island each day for food and
souvenirs. Half a million dollars are
annually spent at the island for pop
corn green corn and clam chOWder,
while 100000 goes for cheap and
trivial souvenirs. The picture and
photo postal cards realize a handsome
fortune along the beach. StaIisticians
will tell you that the average man Wis
iting the island spends 80 cents for
each trip. The women, they claim, will
average so cents And as the women
are the better spenders this accounts
for the prepOnderance of devices that
appeal more strongly to the fair sex.
The average daily attendance at
COney Island is placed at $4,000. A
hot Saturday viii draw at least $780,
600 persons. sundays and holidays,
such as the Fourth OF July, the attend
ance mounts up TO $4,000 and over.
