INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION AT HALTON.

Mr. Disraeli yesterday opened an industrial exhi-
bition at Halton, ne►r Tring. It was promoted by Lady
de Rothschild, and covered not merely the manor of
which Sir Anthony de Rothschil: is the esteemed lon],
but embraced all the vWages that dot the charming vale
of Aylesbury.

I The promised presence of Mr. Disraeli yesterday, the
hope of seeing other celebrities, the attraction of the Cold-
stream band, the grounds, the exhibition itself, and, above
all,
the popularity of the promoters, caused • " run "
upon the tickets u soon as they were imitable. Over
4,000 were printed and disposed of, and before 1 o'clock
yesterday probably 2,000 came ticketleu toseek admission
at the gate. The price of entrance was fixed at two shil-
lings for the opening day, but hereafter it will be only as
many pence. Any surplus proceeds will go to the prize
fund. The grounds were dressed out with flags, but their
own natural beauty required no dressing whatever.
Visitors were allowed the rare privilege of driving through
Sir Anthony de Rothschild's private grounds at Aston
Clinton, and they, as well as those upon which the exhi-
bition was held, were as lovely as • profusion of noble
trees, shrubs, and flowers, a cloudless sky, and • cool
breeze to temper the sunshine, could make them. The
company assembled at the bottom of • smooth lawn that
rose gently to " the mansion," and that was enlivened by the
uniforms of Mr. Dan Godfrey's band, and the dresses—pink
and white—of some children from the schools. These young
damsels had previously rehearsed aeouple of pieces with the
band, and were now drawn up to perform in earnest. A
distinguished company of guests met within, and the local
gentry, with gaily dressed ladies peed-Imitating, grouped
themselves without. Mr. Disraeli and Mize Burdett
Coutts, Lord and Lady Faux, Sir Anthony and Lady de
Rothschild, and the other members of their family, Mr.
J. A. Smith, M.P., the Bishop of Oxford, Archdeacon
Bickersteth, and Alderman Salomon occupied the top of
the steps, under as beautiful • bower of roses and wood-
bite as one could desire.
