THE CRYSTAL PALACE COMPAN'

- - .0.- -

The following is the report of the directors, to
,be suhuaitted to the ordinary general meeting of
proprietors r.t the Loudon Tavart, on Wednesday
next :

" In again meeting the proprietors, the directors are
happy to be able to report that so far as the season has yet
advanced, the prospects of the company are very encou-
raging. The issue of the season tickets at a uniform rate
of one guinea, free from restrictions, has met with much
favour from the public, and has led to a material increa,e
in the sale over that of the last few years. The series of
grand concerts now in progress has also been well received,
and the flower show which took place on the 23d of May
was entirely successful. In fact, the arrangements for the
present season appear hitherto to have met with general
approval and support. The works of the Metopolitan
Extension of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway
Company, under the name of the South London June •
tion,' have been actually commenced, and the directors are
assured that they will be pressed forward with all possible
speed, so as to ensure the opening of this important chan-
nel of communication at the earliest period. The proprie-
tors are aware that this line will unite the Palace with the
Victoria and Ludgate-hill stations by a direct route, tra-
versing the densely-populated suburban districts which lia
between Sydenham and the metropolis. The terminus at
this end will be on the other side of the road in front of
the Palace, immediately opposite the centre transept,
and a few steps only below the level of the main
floor. Tho advantage which the company are likelY
to derive from such an additional channel of communi•
cation, and especially from the high level station, can
hardly be overrated. The opening of the West London
Junction Railway, from:Kensington to the Clapham Junc-
tion on the West-end and Crystal Palace line (which took
place in April), is also of great importance to the companYt
since it opens up a direct traffic with the main lines of the
North-Western and Great Western without change of car-
riage, as well as with the North London Railway. The
Clapham Junction station is further important as enabling
passengers from Richmond and other places on the South-
Western system to transfer themselves to the Crystal Pa-
lace line. The directors regret to have to mention the loss
of their esteemed colleague, Mr James Low. They do not,
however, think it necessary at present to propose any gen-
tleman to supply his place. The directors who retire at
this time by rotation are Mr. Henry Bicknell and Mr.
Horsley. These gentlemen are eligible for re-election, and
offer themselves accordingly."
