THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The Exhibition has now got to that point of Se
existence where it requires no aid from injudicious
friends. To it certain extent, &may now be left
to run alone. It is true that the figures of Wed-
nesday have not reached the figures of Tuesday, any
more than the figures of Tuesday, June Si, 1882,
reached the numbers of the corresponding day in
185 L Those who know what the receipts of each
Tuesday is 1851 were—hew they exceeded the re-
orsipts of any other days during which the Great
Exhibition remained open, were not thrown into a
state of breathless wonder at the South Kensington
attendance of Midsummer's Day. Compared with
the dead level of previous receipts, the numbers
registered looked hopeful, and we trust thati.many
more such Tuesdays are in store for the Royal

Yesterday had its usual number of shilling visi-
tors, brought to the building and taken away
again bgralaiiihe phantom omnibuses and cabs that
can be out of their mouldy graves. Some
of these • • es drift up from Greenwich, some
from Edmonton, and some from remote railway
stations. We should not be surprised to see some
spesulative undertakers in the field with a few old
licenses painted up We a decent defy for the
occaaion. No vehicle now seems to go beyond Cheri ng-
cross, and the f3d. fare is exacted for the shortest
distance.

Oise of the most popular trophiesn in the building
on shilling days—notwithstanding the high art cri-
ticism
that would have blasted its prospects—is the
food trophy. It seldom has lees than fifty people
round it, old and young, who dip their cups into its
four running fountains, pull out their little parcels
of food, and turn its base into a pic-nic refresh-
ment room.
Amongst the crowd, early in the morning, were
Prince Louis and Prinoe Henry of Hesse, atteodeel
by Baron Weeterweller and Major Du Plat. They
were shown round the building by Sir Wentworth
Dilke.
The number of visitors yesterday was as fol-
lows :—By season tickets, 6,032 ; by payment.,
46,194 ; total, 62,226.

THE HANDEL FESTIVAL.

The attendance at the second performance of the
Handel Festival, which took place yesterday, was
not quite so good as that which the Messiah bad
attracted ; but still it was both numerous and
fashionable, so much so as to make the entertain-
ment as attractive as a spectacle as it was imposing
as a musical performance. The weather in the
morning was anything but promising, and we all
know what effect a dark and lowering morning sky,
has on the prospects of a holiday. Perhaps also
the Handel worshippers are reserving themselves
for Israel in Egypt, the performance which brings
out the strength of the great chorus to the best ad-
vantage. The central area was quite full, as were
also the galleries which immediately overlook it,
and which, by the way, are the best hearing
places in the whole building. One of them known
as the Queen's gallery, has been taken for
the three performances by the Earl of Dudley,
who, we regret to say, is almost singular amongst
our high nobility in his patronage of this year's
Handel festival. His lordship, accompanied by
numerous party, occupied his gallery dunngyeeter-
day's performance. At the last Handel festival
titled personages were "thick as leaves that strew
the brooks in Vallambrosa ;" but then the illus-
trious Prince whom we have so recently lost
led the way is patronising our great national
masse, and a personage still more illustrious, who
now lives apart- in the solitude of sorrow, slim
graced the festival by her presence. Now that
Handel has to rest on the intrinsic merit of his
music, it is the great body of the middle classes
whom we find rallying to his commemoration.
About one o'clock, when the music commenced,
the apprehensions of wet weather had vanished, and
the palace and its vicinity looked beautiful
in the soft rich haze into which the dark
clouds of the morning bad melted. The gardens
smiled soberly but pleasantly, and a charming
variety of atmospheric effects played amongst the
trees, and gave a dreamy indistinctness to the lead-
scaAny one who enjoyed a good place in the
gallery could, by. turning one way, see a picture of
the brightest animation, an audience composed of
many thousand persons,. gaily dressed, and an
interior the beauty of which cannot be surpassed
in the world ; and, when he got tired, or melan-
choly, gazing on so much life, which he knew must
pass away, he might turn to the open window and
revel in the contemplation of scenery which needs
no description or recommendation to an English
reader. There were numbers of country people
and foreigners amongst the audience, and at
each interval of the concert they rose from
their seats in crowds, spread themselves over
the building to admire its varied attractions,
and by their movements to and fro • gave singular
life and bustle to the whole scene. A large party
of French ladies and gentlemen, who sat near us,
were loud in their expressions of admiration, and
applauded certain portious of the music, especially
Madame Lumens Sherrington's fine air in the
second part, with great apparent enthusiasm. Of
the whole audience, composed as it was of the civi-
lised of all nations, it may be said that nothing
could exceed the decorousattention which they paid
to the entire performance.
The music performed yesterday was selected from
various works of the mighty master. The selection
was judiciously made, the pieces being not only ex-
cellent in themselves, but, generally speaking, ex-
ceedingly well calculated for performance in a vast
locality and by powerful vocal and instrumental
bands. This was particularly the case with the
opening chorus of the Dettingen Te Deem, from the
breadth and grandeur of the choral part, and the
resonance of the brazen instruments in the
orchestra. The selection fro, Samson was
exceedingly happy. This oratorio, written imme-
diately after The itessiah, is of kindred sublimity
and beauty. The air and chorus, "Return, 0 God
of Hosts," has always been one of Madame Sainton-
Dolby's finest performances, from the pathetic ex-
pression with which she sings it, but its soft and
subdued tone was not favourable for its perform-
ance at the Crystal Palace, where its deep pathos
, was necessarily in a great measure lost. The sub-
sequent air, "Let the bright seraphim," on the
contrary, was entirely in its place. Sang
with the whole of Mdlle. Talons voice, and
with Harper's incomparable trumpet accom-
paniments, its effect was prodigious, .and
it was encored with thunders of applanse.
The chorus, " Let their celestial concerta," is one
of the noblest things in the oratorio. The air
" Honour and Arms" was leas happily chosen : it
is a blustering song, quite charactenstic in the
mouth of the Philistine giant to whom it is given,
and highly dramatic ; but dramatic effect of course I
is lost when it is separate from the drama. Every
justice was done to it by Signor Bellotti. The next
selection was from Judas ifaecabeue ; it included
the prayer of the Israelites when about to encoun-
ter
the foe ; the address of Judas to his army before
the battle, and their response. The prayer of
the Israelites, " 0 Father, whose almighty
power," is one of Handel's greatest achieve-
ments in choral writing ; the celebrated
piece of counterpoint, " And grant a leader bold
and brave," is well known to students of Handel.

could be ,more Impwive than Its execution
by the bared. den's Dry Ode on St. Cecilies Day—
not the Alexander's Feast—furnished the solo and
chorus "4s from the power of sacred lap," one
of the mast remarkable features of this day's per-
formance. The solo was sung by Thiene with a
voice that rang through the vast ex like the
sound of atruinpet ; and the stnstupendous passage :
The trumpet shall be heard on high,
TM dead shall live, the living die,
Aad music shah tuitune the sky,
wasabsolutely terrific in its overwhelming grandeur.
Thus closed the first part of the performance.
The score:id part began with a chorus from the
cantata (erroneously termed oratorio) of Heresy.,
which did not seem to make any remarkable im-
pression. Thee tellowed the well-known air,
Revenge,Timothetts cries," from Almond.? a Feast,
sung with great energy by Belletti, and extremely
well hoar 4 The trim/Atkin from this to the soft and
gentle chorus from Solomon, "May no rash in-
truder," ikaa rather sudden and violent ; but the
chorus was beautifully sung, showed the fine body
of tone produced by the female voices, and was
loudly encored. The pieces taken from Asia and
Galatea were exquisite. The air' " Hush, ye
pretty warbling choir," sung by Madame Sherring-
ton, with its waring accompaniment on the
pigoolo flute, was quite delicious. Though soft
an 4elimte, net a note was lost, either
4 'of 'Madame Sherrington's clear and brilliant
voice, or of IL de Folly's flute. Then
came the charming "Love m her eyes sits
playing," sung by lima Emmert with matchless
I sweetness, and'applauded to the echo. The selec-
tion from this delightful work concluded with the
chorus " Wretched lovers," in which the approach
of " the giant Polypheme" is painted with such
stupendoU descriptive power. The air and chorus
"Haste thee, Nymph," from L' A &gra' was sung,
by Mr. Weirs and the choir with such spirit that It,
terminated amid bursts of spitruemiAseeited sympathetic
laughter. The day's concluded'
with, the air, " 0 ad I Julia's lyre,"
sung by Mdlle. Titiens, sad the renowned
44 See the conquering hero comes," which has been
heard on so many triumphant occasions, and
brought the sexed day of the Handel Festival to
• triumphant conclusion.
We may add that the music, on the whole, was
better heard yesterday than on Monday, owing to
the preponderance of chortles and to the resonant
character of the solo pieces.
At the termination of the concert there was a
general rash to the grounds, upon which the evening
sun now shone with a seftseed brilliancy. Gaily
dressed crowds streamed down the long
walks, or bivouacked under the trees, or stopped
toadmire the statuary, orthe imposing garden front
of the palace. Suddenly the great fountains burst
forth, filling the air with their spray, and every one
ran to gel a nearer view of the jets and to enjoy
the coolies. of the sparkling waters. It was true
that oureontinental friends seemed happiest, and
when a rainbow was formed in the spray of the
greet jet their exclarnatioes of admiration were of
the most tuiqualified character. They were the
first at the edge of the basin and the last to leave
it, and many who wished still to linger in the gar-
dens were incessant in their inquiries as to when
the last train would. start for teen, expressing
much disappointment when they found it was to
leave so early as 8 o'clock: They also seemed con-
siderably at a loss as to where dinner could be pro-
cured, there being no placards posted anywhere in
the gardens to guide strangers to a place which
strangers as well as Masts.s are anxious to
visit. Perhaps some means may be found of
providing the necessary information against the
next performance. They seemed to be deeply jai.
pressed with the beauty of the building, the
grounds, and thasiacroundinsiosa -My , all feature,
of which an Englishman may srea.bs proud, and
of which he will be gratified to think his visitors
will carry home so favourable an impression to
their own countries. Perhaps the most striking
incident in the whole day's entertainment was thl
last, when the solemn tones of the organ came
swelling alongthe evening air, as the final ceremony
of "playing out" was being enacted in the great
orchestra. We trust that as many of our conti-
nental friends as can find room will make up
their minds to " assist" at the final performance
on Friday next.
Among the distinguished visitors at the Crystal
Palace yesterday were the Duchess of Roxburgh.,
Earl Ward, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl and
Countess of Powis, the Countess of Sefton, the
Bishop of Bangor, the Dean of Worcester, Senhor
Carvailto, Lord Overstone, Lord North, Lord

nesses the Duchess and the Princess Mary of Cam-
bridge have intimated their intention of being pre-'
sent to-morrow (Friday), which will be the last day
of this festival, when Handers great masterpiece,
"Israel in Egypt," will be performed.
Many representations have been made to the
directors respecting the desirability of adding
another day's performance to this great celebra-
tion ; but the impossibility of obtaining au extended
leave of absence for the provincial vocalists, and
the numerous professional engagements of the in-
strymental portion of the orchestra, renders this
impracticable. The festival therefore must close
to-morrow.

THE INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF TRE
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

-
The Battersea meeting of the Royal Agricultural
Society is considered to be a complete success. Bo
far as the quality of the show is concerned nothing
is left to be desired. All that is now wanted is the
attendance of those who are bidden to the feast.
A spectacle such as never was witnessed in the
vicinity of the metropolis now awaits the public
eye. The chronicles of the society have no re-
cords of such a varied congregation of animals
domesticated by man* for his own use. It is fairly
astonishing' to think gof two miles of shedding
devoted to these dame. Men of considerable
experience in these meetings seem to be taken by
surprise, whichever way one turns the eye sees so
much of what is excellent and novel. From the
lordly shorthorn to the tiny Breton—from the noble
Cotswold to the crop-eared , sheep of China—from
the obese, palpitating pig to the grunter of tender
ysaes-.•from the sWek, graceful thoroughbred to the
ponderous dray-horse and the Exmore pony—every
close is full of attractive forms and extraordinary
merit.
The predictions ventured upon with respect to
the horses seem to be quite confirmed. The classes
are well filled. Early yesterday morning everybody
who was fortunate enough to possess a member's
ticket, or a guinea to spare, together with a taste for
the equine model, made his way to the ring where the
thoroughbreds were showing off their silky ooats,
arching necks, flowing manes, and graceful paces.
Josephine lover of the field could resist the temp-
Wiwi to sit and watch the process of adjudication.
The twelve horses which comprise the thoroughbred
class are all well known. Their performances have
distinguished many of them, and yesterday quite a
sensation was produced se one and another was
out, recalling to the lookers-on a
main day at Ascot or Epsom. " Ellington," the
,iinuor of the Derby in '5O, was at once recognised,
sad bears now about his neck the rib•nd of honour
as the vase? of the race at Battersea. " Ida-
Vienellte," with • better loin, is mooed. The
littuilin are capital, with plenty of substance ; the
carrige horses are stout, but of too small a mould ;
the :masters are deeidally derer, sad the posies
