THE TEMPLE SHOW. 



cxxxiii 



Fellows of the Society, and there are strong grounds for believing 

 that most of these were legitimately utilised by at least two or 

 three different persons. So that it may be said that between 

 13,000 and 19,500 people visited the Show by means of Fellows' 

 tickets. The cash receipts indicate that about 10,000 paid for 

 admission during the three days, so that, roughly speaking, it 

 may be estimated that the Temple Show of 1894 attracted 

 altogether 30,000 visitors, or an average of 10,000 per day. To 

 bear these figures out, we have the fact that only about one 

 person in three or four accepted the catalogue, which was dis- 

 tributed without charge, and of which 10,000 were exhausted 

 several hours before the Exhibition closed. 



It is unnecessary — indeed it would be impossible — to dwell 

 here on the high standard of excellence attained by the exhibitors. 

 As on previous occasions, the most noteworthy exhibits were 

 selected for special awards, particulars of which may be seen 

 under the report of the Fruit, Floral, and Orchid Committees 

 for May 23, at pages xxxiv., lxvi., and cxiv. respectively.
