ATTENDANCE. 



The attendance [for the year was greater than it has ever been 

 before, and, though at times it is very erratic, it would appear that a 

 steady annual increase has set in from 1902, the figures being : 



1902. 1903. 1904. 1905. 



40,022 ,.. 46,685 ... 52,854 ... 55,103 



A rough analysis of the attendance would probably show that 

 Tamils far outnumbered other native races ; and then, in order of 

 numbers: Chinese, Malays, Indians (exclusive of Tamils), Europeans 

 and Eurasians, and Siamese and Bm-mese in small numbers. 



Experimental opening on public holidays ^\as successful only in 

 the case of native festivals (excepting the Taiping race week), and 

 towards the end of the year opening on European holidays was 

 discontinued. 



An examination of the attendance Iwok gives the following 

 interesting statistics : 



The largest monthly attendance was 6,017, registered during 

 March. The largest weekly attendance was 2,622, registered during 

 the Taiping race week. The largest daily attendance was on the 

 Hindu festival of " Pangini Utram " (21st March), the number being 

 1,074.
