CRYSTAL PALA= MARS CLUBS.

TO TIT TIMOR Of TIT .:rams.
811,-1 think I can reconcile the apparent dis-
interest the statements of Meru.Lambson and
71132 which havejappeared in your columns in reference
to Um Ms Sunday irWt to the Crystal Palace.
Whom the directors of the Palace kindly consented to
gnat firm admisMem to the members of the Share Clubs,
and as many (rime as they desired to bring. on Sunday,
the 26th inst., it boreame a question with the Share Clubs'
Committee bow the ateessery exnses of making known
' and aarryieg oat the moorsisa should be met ; and they
ultimately resolved that the amplest lied fairest phin would
be to suggest a voluntary subscription of hi., open to all,
tether than they themselves should find all the cash, u
well as the time and labour necessary to carry out such an
uadertakiag.
To colloid the subscription ruled sheets were prepared,
with printed loadings foss of whirl, I swine), and deli-
vered to each pima taking a quantity of tickets for dis-
lributism, dub asmalored sod snood. The enclosed sheet
is on gins by me toe kind, together with 30 tickets ;
sad Mt oohs pureeive by the stun thereon stated, that he
nadmoolood the pruniple upon which the committee
anted. The trial &mown pod being Is. 10d., the greater
paste( which, ovidimatly, is contributed by himself and wife,
whams same have 6d. each attached to them ; the remain•
dor conalning of hi. and Id. subscriptions, and a large
avanhor of his ticket. be* eetirel unaccounted for.
If any pans having tickets from the corm
minis disposed of then "as a matter of ordinary sale,"
he certainly acted contrary to their expresin wish. For
my owa part, I can say, that while I have obtained many
caatributivins of various I bare shoo issued scores—
I may indeed say Misdoing —of fish ts, without receiving, or
impsning to receive, vas tanking in return ; and I know
may who have doss the soma.
