(£tgl?teentl? Annual Report 



Corporation Art Gallery Committee. 



— J- 



rArt Gallery Committee have pleasure in presenting to 

 the Town Council their Eighteenth Annual Report, and 

 in congratulating the Corporation on the continued usefulness 

 and prosperity of the Institution. 



A glance at the table of the number of visitors given below 

 shows that the average attendance is still very good. The total 

 number is less than that of last year, a fact easily accounted for. 

 In the first place, the Curator found himself unable to continue the 

 Saturday concerts last winter ; the Summer Exhibition, although 

 valuable to the art student, was not of the usual interest to the 

 general public ; and, finally, the Gallery was open for thirty days 

 less than last year. It will be noticed that the average attendance 

 on free days is about seven times as great as that on other days.
