The absence of any special attraction and the long and severe 
winter did much to make the number of visitors below that of last 
year, both in gross and in average. The highest number admitted on 
a paying day was 428 on Whit Monday ; and the highest on a Free 
Day, 844 on Easter Wednesday. The Council will be interested to 
know that during the first four years the Gallery was open, the visitors 
numbered 105,139; during the second four years 124,465; and during 
the third similar period, 209,091 ; the total visitors during the thirteen 
years being 486,492.
