THE GK A. EXHIBITION.
(tins DAY.)
The damp, disagreeable weather of yesterday had
the natural eff,.cc of diminishing the numbers who
visited it, although more had the courage to Yen•
tare out on such an expedition than might have
been anticipated. No less than 49,697 persona
entered the building in the course of the nay, a result
which may he account4i tor by the tact that most of the
visitors were cxcursiotists from the country, who, from
their limited stay in London, could not afford to
lose even a day. This morning, however,
was more promising, and the effect was per-
ceptible in the ittereased numbers who entered the
Palace in th first three hours, which generally affords a
lair test of what may be expected from the whole day.
At eleven o'clock 12,674 httd been admitted; at twelve
this number had evvefied to 25,466 ; and at one o'clock
33,289 had passed through the doors, all of the same
class of visitors as we have described on the two pre-
ceding days. ller Ithjesty and Prince Albert arrived
shortly afrer nine, awl remained nearly two hours.
The receipts yesterday were 2,272/ 2s.
