His Majesty left the Show at 4.20 p.m., and returned to 
town by the 4.50 train from Temple Meads Station. 
The attendance on the Friday was 78,702, which, as will be 
seen from the tables given below, was by far the largest day s 
total during the week.

the forenoon of Saturday the public were admitted to the 
Royal Pavilion at the charge of sixpence each, the proceeds 
going to the Royal Infirmary and General Hospital. 
The aggregate number of visitors who paid for admission

(187,323), and at Manchester, 1869 (189,102). Tables giving
