VISITORS ON WEEK DAYS—BY MONTHS. 
The distribution of week-day visitors through the season 
is shown by the full line on the accompanying diagram, E, 
on which, for comparison, are placed in a dotted line the 
monthly averages for the preceding years for which records 
have been kept. It will be observed that though reduced 
in July, doubtless because of the excessive heat, the num- 
ber of visitors from May to September inclusive was con- 
siderably above the average. On the other hand, the num- 
ber for October, always large because of the presence of 
strangers in the city for the autumnal festivities, and vary- 
ing greatly from year to year, since the greater number of 
these chance visitors are attracted by the events of only one 
or two days, which may happen to be inclement, in 1901 
fell some 2,500 below the average.
