the conserv►tory, was now to culminate in the open
garden, where the most important ceremony was to
be performed. A royal dais, with canopy of crimson
velvet, had been erected over the great fountain,
and facing the Exhibition building. Here the re- I
port was to be presented, the Royal Commissioners
wens to deliver an address, the Royal Duke ;
was to make a suitable reply, and the special inter-
national
representatives were to be presented with
the awards of their various nations. From this point
and at this moment a splendid picture presented
itself. The dais was crowded with uniforms, court,
military, and international. The Royal Duke made
a conspicuous central figure, and around him stood
the Royal Commissioners for 1862, Karl Granville,

the Duke of Buckingham, Sir Wentworth Dilke,
Mr. Baring, and Mr. Fairbairn, with Mr. Sand-
ford, their secretary. The platform was densely
thronged, and glittered again with gold lace and
embroidery, and to one looking from it the whole
garden seemed to be tilled with well-dressed people,
except the basin of clear water in the centre, into
which the fountain foamed and sparkled, and
timp-garperienie—eMli-- whisk the centre of the
grounds is decorated. In a very few moments (we
must here observe that every point in the pro
gramme waa carried out with admirable punctua-
lity) the international representatives were all coL
lasted on the narrow dais, and Earl Granville ad-
dressed them as follows :
I have the pleasure of weiteming on the part of her Xe•
*ay's Oonxiniasioners toe the International Exhibition the

distinguished representatives of foreign nations who honour
as by taking part in the proceedings of this day. The rea-
diness with which the governmenta of foreign countries
have responded to the invitation of the English government
is highly appreciated by the people of this country. I have
now to request that the egad repreesntstives will receive
the report of the Council of Chairmen of Juries. The
awards will then be delivered to her Majesty's Commie-
elopers We invite the assistance of the special repressati
Ursa to make the awards known in the building, as it will
be agreeable to the exhibitors of the several countries to
learn from a distinguished representative of their own
nation the appreciation by the juries of their encessaim
labours. In passing through the building the special repro-
sentativie will not fail to observe that the industry of all
nations has shown a remarkable develcpment since the last,
International Exhibition--a development which, justifying
the anticipation of an illustrious Prince, now, alas ! no more,
owes much to the facility given by such exhibitions for com-
paring the state of industry in each country, and affords a
darting point for farther promos. -

Lord Taunton then read his report, which hes
already been published, and the ceremonial of the
dais was terminated by the Duke of Cambridge,
who addressed the Council of Jurors iu the fol-
lowing terms :

In performing the duty entrusted to me *her Majesty cm
this 00C11111011, I have great pkasure, on behalf albs
remeentativee of the various nations which have taken
part in this Exhibition, in receiving from your lordship an
account of the labours of the juries. All parties owe a
debt of gratitude to the large number of jurors who, at a
great astridee of time and persoool =Dunn/nos, have
gratuitously undertaken a work of such as arduous deserip-
tioe. The efforts made by so many distieguished men al
different nations to »amnia and reward the exhibitors
from all pert' of the civilised world cosset be too highly
appreciated. I have every 000fideuce that the decisions of
the jurors will meet with general approbation, mad that the
knowledge acquired by them in the discharge d the aeries
which they have so well performed will he the mime al
'Meg a new impulse to industrial progress in the sous-
tries which selected such eminent representatives cl their
scientific and manufacturing skill.

A very few minutes were occupied in the pre-
sentation of the awards to Earl Granville, the
books having been previously placed on the table,
and the procession having been gradually re-
formed, the whole, commissioners and public,
returned to the building. Here the awards were
presented at the various stations which had been
previously appointed, and the procession finally
returned to the Garden.

For this purpose it had to pass up the centre
of the nave, and from the ,Western Gallery, which
bad been reserved for the tickets of cabinet mi.
Dieters and ambassadors, was to be obtained the
best view of the most striking of the whole days'
prooced"igs. First, the banners of the various
classes were seen forming a thin and gradually
lengthening blue line, which crept up through the
centre of the vast crowd ; then the heed of the
procession appeared on the cleared platform, and
then in a minute after the whole pageant passed
across, towards the annex, in steady and unbroken
succession. The Royal Duke, the Royal Com-
missioners, the distinguished foreigners, the ,
jurors, the naval and military officers, could
all be recognised and distinguished ; the procession
really looked splendid, and the playing of the military
bands completed the fine effect of the scene. The ,
crowd followed, and very soon blocked up the pas-
sages, and it required all the exertions of the police
to preserve a free passage to the garden.
The brilliant ceremonial which was to terminate
with music now approached its end. The whole of
the bands, English and foreign, assembled before
the dais, and played the National Anthem with
splendid effect, and amidst the most enthusiastic
cheering, and the company then returned to the
interior, some to seek refreshment, but the greater
number to listen to the fine bands which were stationed
at intervals in the nave. The Belgian Guides, who
were stationed on the western platform, were per-
haps the most admired • but the sailor musicians
from Prince Wilhelm's frigate also had an immense
success, whilst the Egyptian band certainly
astonished if they did not delight all the listeners.
The more appreciative, however, listened with at-
tention to their wild barbaric music, and felt that
if it did not oome up to our notions of melody there
was yet enough of character and novel national
peculiarity about it to render it deeply interesting.
The Bntiah military bands were those of the
Royal Horse Guards Blue, the 2nd Life Guards,
the Royal Artillery (two bands), the Royal Raga-
neers, the Grenadiers, the Coldstreams, and the
Soots Fusilier Guards, the Royal Maxims, and the
Volunteer Engineers. The foreign bands were the
band of the Zonaves de le Garde Imp4riale, the
band of the Gendarmerie de la Garde ImpEriele,
the band of the Belgian Guides, and the band of
his Highness the Pacha of Egypt. A band from a
Danish man-of-war was also present.
The artists of the London Stereoscopic Company
were actively engaged duriug the day in taking views
of different points of interest in the ceremonial.
The police arrangements were perfect, and re-
flected the highest credit on Mr. Durkin end his
staff.

The highest temperature during the day, as re-
-I,istered by Negretti and Zambre's patent thermo-
meters, was as follows, at 2.15 o'clock :—ln the
nave, 61.8 ; in the galleries, 62.6.

The prime* features of yesterday were that there was •
much larger attendance of mecestors, which was mainly
attributable to the exceedingly fine weather, which cm.
tinned throughout the day. The grand stand receipts ex-
ceeded Let year, and the meeting altogether was • decided
names. The racing commeooed at two o'clock and tenni-
mated at five. The Coventry Stakes, the most important
event of the day, produced a numerous field, and the result
seeded la favour of boapatoes, after a meet exciting race.
The thief feature of the meeting, " the Cup," oely brought
out three runners, and although the talent would not be-
lieve in the running of the previous day, it was truthfully
, confirmed by Exchequer emus beating Noetebollo. The
