The lamentr-ble lac of uniformity
In the use if words descriptive of
numbers, in the yellow press, Justifies
a little attention, perhaps. At a
street fight, a hotel lire, or a political
meeting, there to seldom time to as
certain the exact aumber of persons
present te be sure, but the following
scale might be used in approxima
tion: Over S, but lees thar. Id a crowd.
Over 10, but le:s l.:an 20.. scores.
Over 20, bnt less tuan 60.. a my
riad. Over 5J, but less than 100.. thou
sands. Over 1C0 a vast concourse.
This list would undergo a radical
change, however, In case the news
paper was reporting a political meet
ing of its opponents. It might then
be abridged:
100 or more, .empty house.
300 or more.. a few stragglers.
COO or more.. a lonely gathering.
1.000 or more.. a small audience.
S,(;00 or more, .only tho front seats
