CRYSTAL PALACE.

On Sunday last the attractions of the palace at SOO:
ham were opened to " the shareholders and their friends,
and never on any occasion has a more numerous or de-
lighted company assembled within the fairy domain of the
Crystal Palace Company. Through the instrumental
of the National Sunday League, Crystal Palace Share
Clubs have been formed, and thus the industrious working
man is enabled to become the proprietor of one or Ora re
shares, entitling him to admission on all occasions
not excepting Sundays. If anything were wanting t°
show that the working thousands of the metropolis can ail'
do conduct themselves in the most orderly manner wile°
collected together in immense numbers, the assembly °f
Sunday last settled the point most satisfactorily, and it is
only to be regretted that the privilege of visiting the Palace
on that particular day is not given to them without the
restrictions that now exist. The day has happily gone by
when the public-house was the only attraction for the pellt
up artisan of the metropolis. But why he should be Pre-
vented visiting the Crystal Palace on Sunday, unless he be
a " shareholder," we have never been able to understand'
We are amongst those who have for some time labourtd
the opening of the. British Museum and the National Gal-
lery, every day throughout the year, and we feel certain the
i
time is not remote when such an arrangement
came into operation, because the great objecti°n
that has been raised to such a step, via.,
injury that might arise to the valuable collection from °I
unguarded crowd, has been entirely disposed of. Great s°
that boon would be to the working classes, we candidli
confess we think the facility of visiting the Crystal Pala°
on Sunday would certainly by a very great number be relic-
,
perferred ; and why it should at present be withheld °i°
cannot understand, especially as the privilege of visiting eltell.
places as Cremorne Gardens and Weston's Retreat is al°
lowed ty the purchase of a refreshment ticket. The law, jil
our opinion, that permits one and prevents the other is 11°t
only ridiculous, it is positively unfair and unjust.
