INTERNATIONAL EXHII3I7ION.

One might reasonably have expected that on the
occasion of the Great Foresters'Fete at the Crystal
Palace the receipts at the Exhibition proper would
have sunk to their lowest ebb. Apparently, how-
ever, it made no manner of difference ; if anything,
the attendance was rather higher than is usual on
Tuesdays. The total numbers were 54,862, the pay-
ments being 50,565, the season tickets 4,297.
We venture to think that the time is now come
when the Council of the l lorticultural Society should
fulfil the promise made last year, that at the close
of the season, when the building was open for ls.,
admission to the gardens should be given on pay-
ment of 3d. The price charged has never yet been
lower than 6d., and it is evident from the results
that the working classes who visit the Exhibition
on shilling days will not pay this sure, especially
when they are not allowed to return to the building
without repayment. If the price of entrance to the
gardens were now reduced to 3d., and re-admission
to the building allowed from them, some thousands
would gladly avail themselves every day of the op-
portunity of walking in them; the gardens would
form an additional and most important auxiliary
to the attractions of the Exhibition itself, and,
financially speaking, would yield such a profit to
the Horticultural Society as would amply justify an
, abandonment of their present lather illiberal policy.
