THE CoLOSSEUM.

This delightful exhibition is, as might be expected,
crowded night and morning with fashionable company.
The performani es on the splendid new organ are
very fine, and added much to the attractions of this
palace of enchantment. During the past week an im-
mense number of lovers of the science of horticulture
have visited the Colosseum to see the large Mexican
aloe in blossom, which has recently been purchased by
the proprietor. It is one of the finest specimens of the
aloe ever seen, and as this plant blossoms but once in a
century, the plant is as unique as the other parts of this
the most delightful of exhibitions.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The Corinthian meeting at Goodwood, under
the immediate protection of the " protectionist" leaders,
