[Fifth Avenue by Arthur Bartlett Maurice]@TWC D-Link bookFifth Avenue CHAPTER VI 13/35
Says Forster in his "Life": "In New York, where there were five farewell nights, $3,298 were the receipts of the last, on the 20th.
of April; those of the last at Boston, on the eighth, having been $3,456.
But, on earlier nights in the same cities respectively, these sums also had been reached; and indeed, making allowance for an exceptional night here and there, the receipts varied so wonderfully little, that a mention of the highest average returns from other places will give no exaggerated impression of the ordinary receipts throughout.
Excluding fractions of dollars, the lowest were New Bedford ($1,640), Rochester ($1,906), Springfield ($1,970), and Providence ($2,140). Albany and Worcester averaged something less than $2,400; while Hartford, Buffalo, Baltimore, Syracuse, New Haven, and Portland rose to $2,600.
Washington's last night was $2,610, no night there having less than $2,500.
