VISITORS SURPRISED
 AT BIG AUDIENCE
BostOnians Learn of Great Interest By Public Museum at
 Institute.

A gentleman and two ladies from Boston, who were visiting in this city, called at the museum. For full hour they walked about examining the works of art and science exhibits. When about to leave the gentlemen inquired if it was not unusual for so many people to be present in an eve- ming. When informed it was not, he was quite surprised, as he was under the impression that something special was going on for that particular night to have so many come in. On being told that the museum had 54, 335 visitors from the day of its open ing, May 31 last, up to December 30, he was astonished. Many much lar ger museums would be proud of such a record" he stated.
 When compared with the larger museums of other cities, and taking into consideration that the local Museum of Natural History and Art IS not on the ground foor a ct which necessitates persons climbing a flight of stairs, the attendance has in truth been remarkable
 Visitors at the museum Friday and saturday numbered SS1, and as the attendance has been exceptionally good during the month, Curator Schurr is in hopes that January will marx new record for visitors.
