GREAT DAY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning, from an early hour, excursion trains from
nearly every provincial town came to Sydenham, bringing
members of the ancient order of Foresters to enjoy their
annual fete at the people's Palace. This demonstration is
not got up in opposition to the first that annually takes
place in August by the London United District, but in
order to afford accommodation to the many thousands o
the fraternity who patronise those flies, the different dis-
tricts fix certatn times for each to enjoy a pleasant day.
By noon not less than 10,000 persons had entered the
Palace, and the cry was that " Still they come." The day,
owing to the fineness of the weather, promised to be one
9f great benefit to the districts interested.
