PUBLIC BREAKFAST.

The preparations in Trinity and St. John's are on
a magnificent scale. On the north and south sides
of the cloisters are tables 200 feet long; and under
the Library are two tables, each 150 feet long ; a
space of 19 feet broad has been left all round for
walking A rustic bridge across the Cam, near the
north-west gate of the cloisters, and another across
the ditch, connect the two colleges. Ed, ington is
fast progressing with his part of the preparations ;
the dancing tent, which is a grand affair, is up, and
the greatest activity prevails in every department.
We have already mentioned that two military bands
(those of the Lite Guards and Scots Fusilier
(guards) will attend, and that Koenig will lead a
band for the votaries of Terpsichore. We under-
stand that preparations are making for 4,000 visitors.
Tickets, be it remembered, will be charged five shil-
lings extra if not taken until after Monday.
THE FigEWORIES AND BALLOONS.
A large area has been fenced off on Parker's
Piece, opposite the Town Gaol, in order that the
thousands who are expected to view the fireworks may
have every facility of so doing. The standard pieces
will be elevated on high .poles. The selection and
arrangements are under the immediate superintend-
ence of Mr. Deck, whose amatuer exertions in the
pyrotechnic art are well known to the town, and
whose employment of Mr. Darby, the celebrated
pyrotechnist of Vauxhall Gardens, will en-
sure a rich and varied treat. Among others
will be exhibited a piece termed the Kaleido-
scope, from the variety of forms and colours it ex-
hibits by its complicated machinery ; a scientific
piece, in which the beautiful and varied tints of polar-
ized light are combined, and which excited so much
applause when exhibited at the first meeting of the
British Association in Cambridge; a national piece,
" The Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock," entwined in
brilliant fire, for the finale, which will be the most
splendid piece ever exhibited in Cambridge, in which
all the powers awl beauties of the pyrotechnic art will
be combined. The names " Albert and Victoria,"
surmounted by a crown and star, with pyramids of
brilliant fire 40 feet high, amid the flight of hundred,:
of rockets, will give effect and honour to the memo-
rable occasion. It is hoped that the shameful prac-
tice of throwing fireworks into the area, which on a
former occasion nearly proved fatal, will not be re-
peated, involving, as it does, the pleasure of a few,
but the lives of many. The firing will commence on
Monday evening, about ten o'clock.
On Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock, Mr. Green,
the veteran in aerocation, will ascend from the same
space, being his 361st ascent since he had the honour
first to ascend by order of the Government, at the
coronation of George the Fourth. The balloon is
constructed of scarlet and yellow silk, contains 30,000
cubic feet of gas, and is, with the car, entirely new,
and the most splendid ever made. It will hold four
persons; and gentlemen wishing for a change of air
had better make speedy application to Mr. Deck

GRAND HORTICULTURAL FETE
The arrangements
. for this magnificent exhibition
are now in a most complete state of preparaTtihoein
will be on the grandest scale imaginable.-
are placed exactly where. good taste and judgmentns
would dictate, so as to give the greatest effect to the
grounds, and to leave large spaces for the prome-
nade. Her Majesty's tent will be supplied with mag-
nificent chairs of state and a superb console table,
all richly adorned with gold, and in exquisite taste.
The largest tent is 100 feet long : three others are
76 feet long each and another tent 40 feet long will
be graced with a splendid collection of the choicest
plants, &c., from the Botanic Garden, by the kind
permission of Mr. Murray, the curator. Various
other tents will also be introduced for the various
productions. There are two band tents for the First
Life Guards and the Scots' Fusilier Guards. Each
band will consist of 30 performers. There will also
be a refreshment tent in the grounds, which will, we
have no doubt, be well frequented. It will be sup-
plied by Mr. Peeling. Her Majesty and his Royal
Highness the Chancellor wi I be received by the
steward of the fete, and two of the judges; and two
members of the committee will he in attendance to
answer any inquiries the royal party may please to
make. It is very probable the bugle hand of the
Sappers and Miners will play as her Majesty pro-
ceeds to the grounds. The entries for the various
prizes amount to nearly two hundred. There can be

no doubt this will be a most attractive fete, and we
heartily wish the most complete success to the spi-
rited society who have introduced it.
