Bazaar and Fete at South Kensington

The fete and bazaar projected by some leading
members of our highest aristocracy, in aid of the
building :'und of the Female Sohuol of Art, Queen•
square, Bloomsbury, were opened yesterday With
great and brilliant success, in the southern arcades
of the Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington•
The Princess of Wales not only accorded her espe"
cial patronage to the Fancy Fair, but graciously
signified her intention of being present on the
opening day; and the simple intimation of the
Royal visit, taken in connection with the excellent
objects which this lzelz Aar is intended to promote,
nad the effect of bringing together one of the most
numerous and fashionable assemblages of the
season.

Even so early as eleven o'clock, when the wea-
ther indicated anything but an auspicious appear",
ante, although it afterwards cleared off, and the son
shone out with brilliancy, the approaches to the
Horticultural Gardens were lined with carriages'
It was not generally expected that the Princess
would be accompanied by the Prince of Wales, but
shortly after 12 o'clock their Royal Highnesses, at-
tended by the Marchioness of Carmarthen, Lieut..
Col. Keppel, Lieut. Hay, and Mr. Fisher drove up
to the south entrance, and were received by the
committee of the Female School of Art, Mies Louisa
Gann, the secretary, and some members of the Royal
Horticultural Society's council, the Ist Middlesex
Engineers acting as a guard of honour, and the band
of the Grenadier Guards playing the National An-
them. The Prince and Princess graciously acknow-
ledged the salutations with which they were greeted,
and they immediately proceeded to the hall, wherei❑
it was arranged that her Royal Highness should
receive from such ladi.3s as bad been able to collect
them in aid of the fund, purses containing £5 each.
This pleasing duty appeared to give the great.
est possible satisfaction to the Princess of Wales.
Lady after lady, elegantly attired, steFpA for-
ward in rapid succession, and placed in the Royal
hand the tiniest of porte-monnaies, concealing
five golden sovereigns, kni when the presenta-
tions came to be weighed in the balance, we be.
lieve it was estimated that the pursu•fund had pro-
duced something over X5OO.
After this interesting ceremony was at an end her
Royal Highness proceeded to open the bazaar. The
Royal party promenaded through the arcades,
pausing at each stall, shaking hands with a few of
the lady patronesses, and making liberal purchases
from the lady vendors of elegant industrial work°
and artistic treasures.

Among the fair stall holders who had the honour
of submitting their varied assortment of nick-sacks
to the inspection of the Prince and Princess, and
fortunately secured their custom, were Mrs. Milner
Gibson, Mrs. Henry Cole, Lady Trovelyan, Lati9
Rich, Mrs. C. Mallet, Miss Kindersley, Mrs. and
Miss Woodhouse, Countess Harley Teleki, Visconti'
teas Hawarden, Viscountess Combermere, .1)"11
Louisa Wharncliff, Viscountess Stratford De Ited-
cliffe, Countess of Tankervitle, Mrs. Henry Ite'eve'
he Baroness Marochetti, Countess of Airlie, LA/
Stanley of Alderley, Mrs. Gaschen, and Miss Louisa
Gann. Having rested for some minutes near one 01
the refreshment stalls the Prince and Princess of
Wales honoured with their presence the representa-
tion in the " Theatre Rial" of "Mambo Jumbo, ti
new burlesque by a new author, with new seetierY+
new dresses and appointments, ands new corapol;
1..1110y seemed to enjoy the aff it not a little, laughed
heartily, and at the fall of the curtain retired frog'
the "Royal box" evidently much pleased. It Was
past 2 o'clock before the Prince and Princess °f
Wales left the Gardens.
Throughout the day, independent of the great at:
tractions of the bazaar, a variety of theatricitly
musical, and other entertainments, provided
amateur and renowned professionals, includlug
Toole and Paul Bedford's Peep Snow and Paul I-
toole-y-technic institution—afforded ample sc°P,e
for the amusement of the thousands who attend"'
the fete, and there can be no doubt that these agree;
able adjuncts will produce an amount in excebs
the largest expectations of the BuLding Fund Coto:
ruittee. The bazaar and fee will be continued this
day and to-morrow.
