Pork Population—A census taken of all foreigners who entered the various parks and gardens during the month gives an average total of 14,773 per day, equal to 457,963 visitors per month. In com. parison with the total foreign population of the Settlement, this census indicates that the great majority of residents frequent the parks almost daily. A noteworthy: feature of this census is that the frequenters of the Public Garden are more than double that of any previous year; during the week ending July 23, 46,091 persons visited this garden. The reason for this marked increase is not apparent, for the Settlement's*population has not increased materially this year. It is not materially effected by the Band, as the largest numbers frequent it on Saturdays, over 6,000, and on Sundays, about 7,000, when there is no Band It provides, however, this year, larger lawn space, and increased seating acedinmodation.
