CRYSTAL PALACE CONCERTS.

The summer season was inaugurated yesterday
by a colossal musical festival, in which 3,000 vocal
and instrumental performers took part, under the
direction of Mr. Costa—the solo vocalists being
Madlle. litiens, Madame Rudersdorff, Herr Formes,
Mr. Santley, and Mr. Sims Reeves. Haydn's
" Creation" was the work performed; the chorus,
consisting of the London division of Handel Festi-
val choir, selections from the metropolitan choral
societies, and the principal provincial and conti-
nental associations, accompanied by the magnificent
Royal Italian Opera band. We need hardly say

pieces of Haydn's familiar work ; and t_
