that would have involved the withdrawal of • large body of

made that there would not be sulkiest on duty to protect
the property of the metropolis ; and the arreagennot made
wee, that as there were not sufficient prairie to keep the
whole hoe of the hurdles the military should do so, and
that the police should keep the approaches to the park
clear. He believed that that arrangement was carried out,
and he was not aware that, so fat as the police were con-
cerned, any interruption had taken place. What they
undertook to do was efficiently performed.
Mr. PAULL asked quo what principle the tickets for
the reserved moos were distributed. It was rid that cards
of Menai°e would be given to members of both bonne of

within the enclosure were not very closely maneeted with
members of either hoes* of parliarssot. (" Hoar, hoar," and

Mr. OOWPER rid that the main object had been to

reviewed. and with that view 4,000 tickets had been
given to the officers to be divided amongst their men. Of

belonging to various ranks in society. Besides this, tickets
were sees to member" of both houses of pull/mint, dis-

to be entitled to that distinctioe. The indio-
lion was, that the first three rows of seats
should be reserved for ladies, but be was sorry to say that
many persons of the other sex came in to the trecloeure who
were so far deficient in plkintry and courtesy as to take
possession of all the front rata and refuse to give them up
to ladies when asked. (Hear, hear.) Not only that, but
many of these persons stood up in the seats, so es wholly to
exclude the view. It was impossible for him, or any one
else, to teach such persons mainera (Hear, hear.)
