The Sun.
London, England, 1841-08-04 00:00:00

ON MONDAY, THE 16TH.

The whole of the troops will receive gratuities,
and at eleven o'clock the trial of skill for the mu-
nicipal prizes will commence in the Tintelleries
between the various bands that assisted at the cere-
mony of the previous day. This will be a great musical
treat. It is well known that the northern towns
of France are very musical and abound with ama-
teurs of no common pretensions. The Philharmonic
Societies of Calais, Dunkirk, and St. Omer are cele-
brated for their precision, sweetness, and power • above
fifty musicians from each of those towns will be pre-
sent ; we hear that they have sunk all minor
differences to unite in one common cause, for the
honour of their respective towns, and meet constantly
at rehearsals to carry home in triumph from Boulogne
the first prize. This promises a banquet to the lovers of
harmony
on which they may regale with delight •, no dis-
cord can be contemplated at such a reunion. This melo-
dious trial of skill, it is supposed, will last upwards of
fcur hours, and will conclude by the distribution of prizes
among the most deserving. For the rest of Monday the
minds of all will be left to chew quietly the cud of medi-
tation over the sweet thoughts the morning's amusement
is so calculated to promote.

TUESDAY, THE 17TH.
Opens by a scene in the Tintelleries, which it never
has witnessed, and probably never will again. That
large space of ground will be covered by twenty tables,
to which the National Guard will invite to breakfast, at
nine o'clock, the officers of the Line, the National Guards

from the various towns that will be in Boulogne, and
such other visitors or inhabitants as they may deem wor-
thy of the honour. This breakfast will be in the open air.
May the sun shine brilliantly on the friendly meeting.
At one o'clock the race course will be the scene of
attraction, when the Pas de Calais Stakes of 1,000 francs,
the Gold Cup, value 2,500 francs, and the Steam-packet
Stakes of 1,000 francs will be run for.
At night a dress ball, by invitations, at the theatre.

,
From— the preparations already making, we have no
doubt this ball will be a great 'attraction. A large
additional room, extending from the back of the
Theatre to half-way up the Rue Monsigny, is erecting ;
the whole of the pit will be covered over level with tho,
stage, the whole to be devoted to dancing ; two bands
will occupy the second row of side-boxes ; the taste and
spirit of the manager is a sufficient guarantee that no-
thing will be wanting to render the scene of amusement
worthy of the occasion upon which the ball is given. Ac-
commodation is preparing. for 1,200 persons.

WEDNESDAY, THE 18TH.
After the exertions of lak night a little repose is ne-
cessary to recover Wasted energy and flagging spirits. All,
therefore, who have shaken off lassitude and are eager for
novelty may seek it in the museum or the exposition of
pictures ; and, if so inclined, enter their names for tickets
in the lottery of pictures. Time, however, flies, and even-
ing has arrived bringing with it a concert and ball at
the Etablissement.
THURSDAY, THE 19TH.
Hurrah again for the races, at one o'clock, when the
Duke of Orleans' prize for 1,000 fr. ; the Ladies Cup
for 1,200 ; the King's Prize for 500 ; and a Handicap
for 500 will be contended for.

In the evening, the Theatre, with extraordinary
dramatic representations, will be the p tof attraction
to close the festival of the Fete of Napoleon.
Such is the outline of what the gourmand for
variety of pleasure will have laid before him during
the days of August in Boulogne. Of what the dif-
ferent condiments will be composed, which are to give
relish to the various dishes, cannot at present be made
known ; but no one can doubt the savoury essence of
the feast when they recollect who are the eooks ?
. _

Frenchmen are notorious for their taste • he who saw
St. Omer and its fete, the reception at Paris of Napo-
leon's remains, indeed any procession where French
fancy takes the lead, must feel convinced every thing will
be in a style becoming the event.—Boulogne Gazette.
