THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The Saturday attendances at the Exhibition are
gradually declining, and for this very' good reason,
that the classes of society who could afford to pay
half-r.-crown for admission are leaving town as fast
as they can. Our distinguished foreign visitors are
now the mainstay of our two fashionable days.
The Grand Duchess Marie Nicholaiefna and
suite, attended by Baron Brunow, visited the Ex-
hibition on Saturday. Her imperial highness was
met in the building by the Grand Duke Michael and
duchess, and the royal party was conducted by Mr.
Sandford and Mr. I.Andon to the western
annex, where the machinery was explained by
Mr. Clarl-e. Their imperial highnesses also paid
a lengthened visit to the jewellery and furni-
ture courts, and expressed themselves highly gra-
tified by what they had seen.
The programme of the music provided was much
better than on some previous days. The perform-
ance of Herr Alfred Jaell, pianist to the King of
Hanover, on the grand piano of Bosendorfer,_ in the
Austrian Court, gave great satisfaction. His per-
formance included some very admirably arranged
variations by himself, in " Rigoletto," "Home,
sweet home," "11 Carillon," and the Austrian
National Hymn.
The highest temperature on Saturday, as shown
by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers,
was :—ln the nave, 63.8 deg. ; in the galleries, 65.5
deg. ;in the western annex, 71.2 deg. A slight
rise in the temperature since the previous day.
The reading was taken at 4 o'clock p.m.
As compared with the corresponding week of the
Exhibition of 1851, the numbers show a very con-
siderable increase, as will be seen from the follow-
ing return of the total number of visitors during
each of the two perioda.l...
