THE MAGNESIUM BALLOONS

illuminating the landscape—the smoke causing passing
shadows—are unique; while the
GRAND ILLUMINATION OF THE FOUNTAINS
is beyond question by far the most magnificent coup d'ceil
ever presented to the public, and confers the greatest credit
on' Mr. Brock, the artist.
To enable all classes to witness this great popular dis-
play, the ordinary price of admission will be charged, viz.,

ONE SHILLING ONLY.
Such a combination of magnificence, at such small cost,
is without precedent. Former displays have been attended
by more than ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOU-
SAND visitors. However many attend the. Crystal
Palace, there is ample room for all.
Performances by the Orchestral Band of the Company
and the Military Band, and the Great Organ at intervals,
and the thousand and one attractions as usual.

The Palace will be opened at half-past Nine. At Four
o'clock ETHARDO, the wonder of the day, will make his
LAST ASCENT BUT TWO of the Spiral Mountain,
after which Promenade and combined musical perform-
ances until the GRAND DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS,
commencing at Eight o'clock. The descent of Comets,
Great Illumination of Fountains, Fire Temples, &c., will
take place at about a quarter past Eight o'clock.
NOTE.—The Palace will be brilliantly illuminated after
the display for Evening Promenade until Half-past Nino
o'clock.—TWELVE HOURS.

Ample railway trains, leaving every few minutes, will
be provided by the Companies for return to town. On the
last two displays upwards of 50,000 visitors left the Palace
without crowding within an hour of the termination of the
Illumination of the Fountains. •
