TILE ART TREASURES

On Thursday, the number of season ticket-holds

who entered the Exhibition nu counted—not estimated
merely, es wee the use on Wedneeday—end the exact num-

her of visitors was ascertained to be 4,721, of whom 2,214
paid (2s. Gd. each) at the doors. The payments are registawi
by the turnstiles, but at the entrance for season tickets this
machinery bas been dispensed with, from a deferential re-
gard to the requirements of crinoline. The prevalence of an

mist wind hes doubtless restricted the number of visitors
hitherto, but the public appreciation of the Exhibition hu
already been suflitiently monifeeted. There is still a satis-
factory sale of season tickets. The gallery of modern masters
appears to receive the most attention, but there is not much
difference in the numbers to be found ;in any part of the
. . .

The orchestral performance., directed by Mr. Halli•,

in themselves a great attraction, and there is always a consi-
derable audience seated in the transepts. In the picture gal-
leries the manic is but faintly heard, and therefore does not
distract the attention of those who would give themselves

up for a time exclusively to the contemplation of the paint-
ings. Except on Thursdays, when Mr. Halle conducts in
person, the band is under the direction of M. Becguie, sub-
conductor of the Italian Opera at Paris. It is intended to
devote the first part of each day's programme to a selection
from the classic compositions, and the second to works of a
lighter character, but excluding dance mune, The ex-
cellence of the performances has obtained general Nl:emenda-
tion.
