990. The attendance at the Garden for the week-end May 6-7 
was 33,958. This was the second largest week-end figure ever 
recorded. (On May 14-15, 1932, the attendance was 38,304. ) 
The combined attendance at classes and lectures was 126,934, as 
against 128,982 last year. 
The attendance at the Conservatories exceeded all past records. 
During the month of April over 29,000 people visited the collec- 
tions housed there. This is by far the highest monthly attendance 
ever recorded. The total for the year was 139,544, as against 
123,036 last year. This represents an average of over 11,000 
persons per month. I believe that this increased attendance at the 
Conservatories is accounted for, at least in part, by the completion 
of the attractive Laboratory Plaza. Visitors who come to inspect 
this and its various interesting features are attracted to the Con- 
servatories, which are close at hand. The appended table gives 
the details of attendance month by month.
