' The Committee, in order to render the Performances as ge-
nerally accessible, and at the same time as productive to the
Charities as possible, have thought it advisable to follow the plan
adopted at the two last Festivals, and which gave such universal
satisfaction, of making two Prices of Admission to the Church
and Amphitheatre ; the first price, and single Tickets taken on
the same terms, will be entitled to Reserved Seats, (determined
by ballot, under the direction of the Committee,) and the se-
cond will occupy as before the other parts of the Church and
Amphitheatre not so appropriated.
Subscriptions to the Five Performances, with Reserved Seats,
Three Guineas ;_ or Single 'rickets for the Oratorios, Fifteen
Shillings ; and for the Concerts, One Guinea each. Subscrip-
tions to the Five Performances, without Reserved Seats, Two
Guineas ; or Single Tickets for the Oratorios, Half-a-Guinea ;
and for the Concerts, Fifteen Shillings each. Tickets for the
Gallery of the Amphitheatre, Five Shillings each.
Tickets for the Oratorios and Concerts to be had only at the
Savings' Bank, Bold-street. Tickets for the Balls to be had at
the usual places.
In consequence of the great inconvenience which was expe-
rienced in the indiscriminate distribution of the Tickets for the
Sermon on Tuesday Morning, the Committee have resolved
that on the present occasion, each Subscriber for a Set of Tickets
shall be entitled to receive one for the Sermon gratis, but to
Non-Subscribers, such Tickets will be charged 2s. 6d. each.
The 'rickets to be had at the Savings' Bank.
Books of the several Performances, price One Shilling each,
will be published as soon as possible, and may then be had at
the Savings' Bank, and all the usual places
Tickets fur the Ball at the Wellington Rooms, Ten Shillings
and Sixpence each.
'rickets for the Grand Fancy Dress Ball, One Guinea each.
It ilexpected that all persons will appear at the Ball in the
Town-hall in full Court or Fancy Dresses, in old English or
Foreign Costumes, or in full Dress Naval or Military Uniforms,
as no one, with the exception of Clergymen, can on any account
be admitted in plain clothes. Masks will not be allowed.
Messrs. Litolff and Adams's celebrated French Quadrille Band
is engaged for the two Balls.
The Committee have made the following Arrangements re-
specting the Ballot for Seats and the distribution of Tickets,
to which they request the particular attention of Subscribers.
The Ballot for the choice of Reserved Seats, both for Single
Tickets and for Sets, will take place at the Savings' Bank,
Bold-street, as under:—
For Tuesday Evening's Concert, and Wednesday Morning's
Oratorio, on uesday, October Ist.
For Thursday Morning's Oratorio, and Thursday Evening's
Concert, on Vs ednesday, October 2d.
For Friday Morning's Oratorio, on ThuridA October 3d.
EACH DAY AT THREE O'CLOCK. _ .

The Reserved Seats in St. Luke's Church will consist of the
Stewards' Gallery, the two side Galleries, and a portion of the
whole breadth of the Ground Floor of the Church at the East
End. The remainder of the Ground Floor nearest the Orchestra
will be appropriated to the Unreserved Seats. The Reserved
Seats in the Amphitheatre will be the whole of the Ground Cir-
cle and the seats in the Orchestra; and the Unreserved Sub-
scriptions will be accommodated in the Boxes. The Gallery
will be open at Five Shillings a Ticket.
Tickets are now ready for delivery at the Savings' Bank, in
Bold-street; and, in order to facilitate the Ballot, it is recom-
mended that the same Party or Family should take their
Tickets in one name. The Committee also beg to inform Sub-
scribers and the Public, that the Number issued will not exceed
that of the Reserved Seats until after the Ballot, when the Pur-
chasers of Tickets can only be accommodated with standing
room, ihould the whole of the Seats be disposed of; but no
places can be reserved longer than half an hour after the com-
mencement of the performance.
The Ballot will be open to the Public; but, with a view to
the preventing of unnecessary attendance, it is suggested, that
one person might be authorized to make choice of seats, upon
producing the Tickets, for other Parties or Families, as well
as his own, wishing to sit together respectively, by which means
this desirable arrangement will be much more easily effected.
The Committee will be happy to afford every possible infor-
mation and 'assistance in procuring Lodgings and Accommo-
dations for any Strangers who intend to honour the Festival
with their presence ; and they request that all applications may
be addressed to them, at the Savings Bank, Bold-street.
