BOLTON Wanderers' supporters can take a bow. For despite recent setbacks, the support they are giving Jimmy Armfield's young side has soared. The upsurge in attendances is right against the national trend. Bolton's league gates at the moment are averaging 13,859 - almost 6,000 up on last season, when they were laying out their stall for a successful assault on the Third Division promotion race.

A REPORT of the damage done by the great storm of August 24, 1873, has been prepared at the Signal Office in Washington. The losses caused by this terrible storm are summed up thus: One thousand and thirty two vessels, of which 435 were small fishing schooners, are known to have been destroyed in the neighbourhood of the Gulf of St Lawrence and the Atlantic shores of Nova Scotia. In addition, over ninety vessels were destroyed by the same storm before reaching Nova Scotia. Two hundred and twenty-three lives are definitely reported as lost, and the most moderate estimate of the numerous cases in which the whole crews are stated to have been lost, swells this number to nearly 500. The fishing industries of the United States and Canada have been seriously crippled.
