THE IMERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The building was better attended yesterday than
it has been any day this week. The total number
admitted up to five o'clock was 66,213, of which
57,738 were by shilling payments, and 8,475 by
season tickets. One great source of the attraction
was evidently the two bands sent by the Emperor
of the French. That of the Zouaves played under
the Western Dome, and that of the Gendarmerie
under the Eastern. Celebrated as these bands are,
their performances surpassed even eovfenthewihnasttr‘uvinasenetxs,

the Grand Duke of Saxony, and the Prince Reuss
have signified their intention of taking part in the
procession, and the Prince of Denmark sends a
band from the Danish man-of-war. The distribu-
tion of the awards 'will commence between 1 and
half- past 1, and will occupy in all about two hours.
As the procassion traverses the Horticultural Gar-
dens and every part of the Exhibition, no one place
is better than another either inside or outside the
building. Visitors in the gardens will see as well as
those in the nave, and vice versa. Of course, none
will be able to see everything, except the Royal
and International visitors who actually assign the
rewards—but as the ceremony of giving the medals
is most formal and meagre, and will only be re-
peated over and over again at the different stations,
there is not a great deal to regret on this score. If
the weather is bad, the procession will pass from
the Horticultural Gardens, under the arcades, into
the Eastern Annexe. If fine, along the gravelled
walk outside the arcades—so that with this trifling
deviation in the programme, the whole affair is
comparatively independent of the present
most
clement season, After the awards have been made,
axhibitors will be permitted to affix the decision of
the jurors to their cases.

in

slept on board the Faid Gehaad steam yacht, lying off the
Arsenal pier.
The alterations on board this vessel are in a
forward state. The two deck saloons between the paddle-
boxes are completed. These saloons, which are after the
fashion of large bay windows, are built on the paddle-box
bridge, and there communicate with each other. They are
intended as a " look out" for the Viceroy and Admiral
Haffas Pasha, who commands the yacht. In preparation
for the banquet on the 16th inst., the costly service of gold
and silver plate received from Turin has been despatched to
London to be cleaned for the occasion. Covers are to be
laid for 40 persons. In the evening at nightfall a magnifi-
cent display of fireworks by the Viceroy's commands is to
be given in the North Woolwich Gardens, immediately
faa ng the yacht, for the gratification and amusement of the
guests after dinner.
