CRYSTAL PALACE.—The Great ILLUMI-
NATION of FOUNTAINS, Grand PYROTECHNIC
DISPLAY of COMETS, CASCADES of FIRE, and
SHOWERS of SHELLS, and Popular Afternoon and
Evening Fete, repeated in compliment to Mr. C. T. Brock,
the Pyrotechnic Artist, on MONDAY NEXT.
The unrivalled splendour of the Illuminated Fountains
and Fireworks is well known. The great novelty of the
display,
THE BLAZING COMETS,
which received a great extension on the last occasion, will
again travel an additional Thousand Feet, leading from the
summit of the loftyWaterTowers—two hundred and sixty
feet above the cross of St. Paul's—to the Water Temples,
a distance of more than three thousand two hundred feet,
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, the 15th of August. The
grand
SALVO OF COLOURED SHELLS,
preceding the display, produce a magnificent ensemble
prior to lighting up the series of Fountains.
THE SET FIREWORKS
are without parallel, one piece alone being 20 feet in cir-
cumference. In place, however, of the first Set Piece on
former occasions, a SIIOWER of COLOURED SHELLS,
rapidly fired into eadi other as they burst, will, as they
did in Paris, form a prominent feature of this grand dis-
ptiy. The
GRAND GIRANDOLI3 OF ROCKETS WITH 10,000

_
•
MAGNESIUM STABS
will, on this special occasion, far exceed in brilliancy and
beforo witnessed... This__ new feature is
the great Girandole may be looked for most favourably.
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 THE FOUNTAINS
is beyond question by far the most magnificent coup d'cell
ever presented to the public and confers the greatest credit
on Mr. C. T. 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 charge
for admission, is without precedent. Former displays have
been attended by nearly Two Hundred and Fifty Thou-
sand visitors. However many attend the Crystal Palace,
there is ample room for all.
Performances by the Orchestral Band of the Company
