HANDEL FESTIVAL.—The great roof over the
orchestra at the Crystal Palace will be entirely completed,
and the scaffold removed, by the Great Flower Show,
Saturday next, 24th May. The following particulars re-
specting its construction, dimensions, &c., may be interest-
ing. It is supported by five wooden girders stretching across
the entire width of the orchestra-216 feet. The main
weight of these girders rests upon iron casings, fixed round
the columns supporting the transept roof, thus forming an
independent structure from the foundation. The solidity,
and firmness of the great transept is, in fact, very consider-
ably strengthened by this addition. The ceiling covers a
space 216 feet wide by 120 in depth, and in the front is
nearly 100 feet high : 5,600 square yards of canvas was u_see
to line the match-boarding composing the ceiling.

The organ, however, is to-day hard at c°ll'n

vantage, as, until the scaffold around it is removed, it can-
powers, to show the improvement resulting from the con-
' struction of the roof.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The visitors
on Saturday were more numerous than they have been on
almost any occasion since the opening. At 5 o'clock, when
the returns were taken, the registers showed that, in all,
15,014 visitors had entered the building, of which 10,212
were season ticket holders, and 4,802 paid at the doors.
There were, however, a great many entries after 5 o'clock:
so that the totals of admission was probably over MOO

The numbers for the week have been 38,517 by tickets
23,060 by payments ; 61,577 in all. The attendance during'
the same week in 1851 was more than double this-3.-8-6
