ISSUE of SEASON TICKETS.
The Executive Committee will be prepared to ISSUE
SEASON TICKETS for the forthcoming Exhibition, on and
after the Ist of January, 1557. The Committee are induced to
make this early appeal for the support of the public in order
that they may be enabled more economically to meet the heavy
pecuniary demands which the magnitude of the undertaking
involves. The season tickets (not transferable) will be of two
classes:—

Ist. A Ticket—price 21. 2s—entitling the proprietor to ad-
mission on all occasions when the Exhibition is open to the

mission on all occasions when open to the public excepting only
on a limited number of days (not exceeding eight), reserved for
state ceremonials or special attractions. Such reserved days
will be duly advertised, and will include the days of opening
and closing the Exhibition.
To prevent disappointment the Committee have to announce
that, as upon the reserved days, a limited number of visitors
only can be conveniently and satisfactorily accommodated, they
have determined that the registered owners of such limited
number of the 21.25. tickets, as may be first issued, shall be
entitled to admission to the reserved parts of the building.

announc.d by public advertisement.
