THE INTERNATIONAL .EXHIBITION.

The most remarkable fact to be recorded to-day
respecting the Exhibition is the immense spring
which the attendance of yesterday made as com-
pared with all the previous numbers since the open-
ing. It may not be uninteresting to show the exact
numbers recorded for successive hours of the day.
By 11 o'clock, 368 ticket holders, and 6,711 on pay-
ment of a shilling each, had passed the turnstiles;
1 o'clock, 1,117 and 19,753 respectively ; 3 o'clock,
2,047 and 26,631; and 5 o'clock, 3,424 and 30,474.
Total numbers up to 5 o'clock, 33,898 ; being the
largest by many thousands since the opening. The
prospects of the undertaking are, therefore, now of
the most satisfactory nature, and they will be still
further improved by the adoption of Mr. Mayo's
plan for the sale of tickets in packages, with a mo-
derate bonus, which the commissioners have, after
much consideration, adopted. Packets of 21 tickets
will now be sold for a sovereign each, being a
bonus of 5 per cent., and Messrs. Smith, of the
Strand, and several other leading .gents, have con-
sented to speculate in them on these terms. In
addition to this the purchase of large quantities by
the large business houses continues end increases,
the last being one of £l4O worth by Messrs. Leaf,
of Old Change. As one preparation for, the ex-
pected influx, especially of foreigners, the refrcs%-
ment contractors have each added a smoking room
to his establishment, where the disciples of Sir
Walter Raleigh can indulge in their fuliginous re-
creation without danger to the building or 'viola-
tion of the insurance policies.
The appearance of the interior yesterday at about
three o'clock was as striking and encouraging as
could possibly be imagined. There were crowds of
well-dressed people everywhere, on the platforms,
in the nave, in the galleries, and in the courts..
Indeed, so very full appeared every corner, that
people began to doubt whether there would be much
" circulation" when the attendance rose, which it
very soon will, to 50,000 a day. The successful
realisation of Mr. Rimmel's very poetical and grace-
ful idea of perfuming the majolica fountain kept
the eastern platform densely thronged, and the
effect of the sparkling spray charged with the
most fragrant essences was appreciate most fully
by the company. It is certainly rathe
curious sight to see a bottle containing rabout
half a pint of a powerful essential oil,
emptied into so large a body of water, convert it at
once into perfume, and it is equally surprising to
when
find how effectually it performs its work, the whole
body of water being so fully impregnated as to be-
come as useful in
arscenting the ladies' handkerchiefs
very
as the small appatus in the annexe. As we have

as a sufficient
number of specimens of
juvenile humanity,
with their appropriate music,
present, to indicate
' that even already the working
classes, had com-
menced their visits. Another indication—much to
the credit of the working
classes—was that the
greatest crowds were assembled round the useful
and the curious arti • cles as contrasted with the
jewellery, and other matters which are merely the
inventions of luxury. In particular, wherever any-
thing like a " process" was going on, there was sure
to be a most attentive company, watching carefully
everything that was done, and listening eagerly to
the explanations of the operator. There is a gene-
ral impression that the attendance on Whit Mon-
day will reach to a very high figure.
An accident occurred in the immediate neghbour-
hood of the building, which proved the necessity
of the caution we recently gave to the police. A
Hansom cab having turned sharp round the earner,
a trace broke, and the horse ran away, overthrow-
ing men, women, and children as he dashed furi-
ously along. Four or five persons were, we under-
stand, seriously injured, and -very great confusion
was created all along the eastern front of the
building. '
The number of visitors yesterday was "
follows
—Season tickets, 4,085; on payment, 30)996; total,
35,081.
