CHRISTMAS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE
Bolding the lead as a place of popular resort, the
Crystal Palace will this year outdo itaelf in attractions
for the Christmas holiday folks. The blaze of decorative
beauty brought together has never heretofore been
approached in this country. &inners, shields, golden
e.gle,, silver plumes. mriAks, flags, mottoes, garlands,
and wreaths clustering around the gir, era and columns,
ad depending from the arched roofs, present a essp
d cot of surpassing beauty. The great Christmas Troy
fully ornammitll and decorated, and planted in rook-
wnrk, nearly illhi up the entire nothern end of the Navel.
The statuary and hanging baskets, the camelils Im
bloom, and other plants, combine to present a scene
little short of enchantment. A Pantomime by Mr..
Nelson Lee, and • variety of other entertainment., are.
Promised. The Great Prise Os, the champ,on at the
Cattle Shows of this season, will be on view. The.
Tropical Department will be found in great beauty.

in diameter, and ninety inches in circumf-rence. The
width of the winding platform is twelve inches, quite
flat, and without groove or protection of any sort to

at the same time perfectly safe from danger or accident
in the artiste. The height of the Spiral Colon." is
fifty fei t ; and the incline winding from the
capital of the column is upwards of 180 fe
Tne globe is constructed of wool and iron,
