ORYSTAL PALACE.—ONE MORE GREAT
k,) ILLUMINATION of FOUNTAINS, Grand Pyro-
technic Display, Descent of Comets, Cascades of Fire, and
Popular AFTERNOON and EVENING FETE, TO-
MORRO W (Thursday), August 23.
The unrivalled splendour of tho Illuminated Fountains
and Fireworks is,well known. The groat novelty of the
display,
THE BLAZING COMETS,
will receive a great extension on this occasion. They will
travel an additional thousand feet, leading from the sum-
mit of the lofty Water towers—two hundred and sixty feet
above the cross of St. Paul's—to the Water Temples,
which they will light up with brilliant double
CASCADES OF FIRE,
as seen on the Pont des Invalides, at the Fete of the Em-
peror in Paris, on Wednesday last, the 15th August, con-
cluding with a grand

SALVO OF COLOURED SHELLS,
thus producing a magnificent ensemble prior to lighting
up tho series of fountains.
THE SET FIREWORKS
without parallel, one piece alone being 200 feet in circum-
ference.

THE PLIGHT OF ROCKETS
far exceed in brilliancy and extent anything before wit-
nessed.—The rockets with magnesium points excite general
admiration. The parachutes with coloured stars having
afforded so much gratification will be added to. Twelve
of these pleasing floating stars will be displayed at once.
THE MAGNESIUM BALLOONS
illuminating the Landscape—the smoke causing passing
shadows—are unique, while the
GRAND ILLUMINATION of tho FOUNTAINS,
beyond question by far the most magnificent coup d'ceil
over presented to the public, confers the greatest credit on
Mr. Brock, the Artist. _
_ _

To afford time for the preparation of the Cascades of
Fire, the SECOND PART of the FIREWORKS will be
preceded by a Night Ascent of
SIGNOR ETHARD 0,
the daring Spiral Ascensionist, who will make the ascent
of the Spiral Mountainemaid Coloured Fires, thus forming
a combination of unusual evening attraction.
To enable all classes to witness this GREAT POPULAR
DISPLAY 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 allotted by
more than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand visitors.
However many visitors attend the Crystal Palace there is
room for all.

Performances by the Orchestral Band of the Company
and the Military Band, and on the Great Organ, at in-
tervals, and the thousand and ono attractions as usual.
The Palace will be opened at 10. At 3 o'clock Ethardo,
the wonder of the day, will make a day ascent of the Spiral
Mountain, after which Promenade and Great Organ per-
formance until the grand display of fireworks, commencing
at half-past 8. About a quarter to 9 o'clock Ethardo's Night
Ascent. Tho Descent of Comets, great Illumination of
Fountains, Fire Temples, &c.
Note.—The Palace will be brilliantly Illuminated after
the display for evening promenade untillo 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.

where the latter gave way, and Mirella, Dagmar, and Bees-
wing joined Novice, who came on in pursuit of Lady Vano
to the half distance, where Dagmar dropped away. Quick
March, who bad experienced great difficulty in getting
through her horses, when fairly in the straight was vigo-
rously called on by Snowden, and, answering gamely,
she opposite the stand headed Beeswing, who swerved
across the course, but, never quite getting up, was beaten
by a neck. Half a length separated second and third
