much gratification to the thousands who had assembled to
witnese them. The dirplay took place at nine o'clock in
front of the King's Statue. A general illumination was
the first on the provamme, by means of ten large
"Crystal Palace lights.' which changed their colones four
times. Next was • revolving device, followed by a
" chromatrone wheel," which was really beautiful. A
umber of shells were discharged, and the effect produced
was charming. The most effective of the set pieces, how.
ever, was the device of • yacht in full sail, which was
greeted with loud applause, and it well deserved to be.
A final flight of 150 lame rockets concluded the dgroica.{..
The fireworks were entrusted to Berra C. T.

fore-topmast stay, fore braces, and doing other damage.

much more serious. The Formosa did not Ruder. and pro-
ceeded on her course apparently uninjured. On passing
the committee boat at the end of the ant round, the order
