With the close of the year 1904 the Aquarium completes its 
eighth year. The total attendance for these eight years amounts 
to 13,270,589, giving an average for the entire period of 4,544 
visitors a day. 
Since the opening of the Aquarium, on December roth, 1896, 
there have been no accidents either to visitors or to the building. 
The demeanor of the public, even when the building was uncom- 
fortably crowded, has been entirely satisfactory to the manage- 
ment. 
In respect to attendance the Aquarium continues to be far in 
the lead as compared with other public institutions. 
Its remarkable record for visitors is shown by years in the
