At affairs where there is a gate the attendance can be ac- curately counted by the tickets- sold, except where there are a large num- ber umber of "Annie Oakleys" or free admissions. However there was no means of knowing how many Or- angemen and their friends were here on Saturday, Estimates range from 8 000 to well over 16,000, the latter figure being the official guess, and it is generally believed this is fairly accurate.
