The number of week-day visitors varies so largely, year by 

 year, as to make an analysis of their yearly increase or decrease 

 difficult; but an appended diagram (H), covering the period 

 for which accurate records are available, shows in the line 1 

 (which is closely equivalent to the curve 2)* a decided average
