It was fitted up, in
great credit on the good

raised at the extremities, on which a variety of beautel 71,17 i!

The Refreshment Room came next in order. Behind the
tables were Mrs. John Ashton, Mrs. Osborne, Miss Bailey, Miss
Christian, Miss Rees, the Misses Widdowson, &c. Too much

praise cannot be awarded to these ladies fot: the patient and
mdefatiguble.manner in which they discharged their arduous
duties. It was impossible that they could have been more at-
tentive. The tables were supplied by Mr. Lynn in a profuse
and lavish manner, with a truly patriotic liberality, amount-

has the power of producing the sustained tone of the great
organ, or of increasing and diminishing the tone at pleasure,
as in the swell. Passing again to the Great Room, we come to

attention. It was of the finest polished mahogany, with striped
silk curtains, 'and the bedding complete. It was one of the
