THE IN7ERNATIONAL 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 Zonaves played under
the Western Dome, and that of the Gendarmerie
under the Eastern. Celebrated as these bands ale,
their performances surpassed even what was ex-
pected of them. The soft tone of the instruments,
and the masterly precision of
movement were
they held an
beyond praise, and from 1 to 4 o'clock
audience of some 30,000 people in rapt attention
All the preparations for the fell of to-day are al-
most completed, and it only
wants fine weather to

procession, and
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 procession 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 in-
clement season, After the awards have been made,
exhibitors will be permitted to affix the decision of
the jurors to their cases.
