First on the Foreign side is the Turkish ard Egyp
tian station The space is inclosed on three sides
with siiken hangings, surmounted by the blood,red
banner with It's silver crescent and star the simplest
in device and, TO some tastes, the most beautiful OF
national banners. A Turkey carpet" covers the
floor; a divap, wit. cushions in blue aud gold and
row of red aud white flowers at the sides, comprise
It's Furnishings. The awards were here delivered 10
the Turkish commission by his Highness, the Pacha

Yacht band had been all the morning stationed at the
right OF the trophy and the strange, somewhat
monotonous 'semi-barbaric music dlscoursed by IL,
was variously received by the audience, some being
hardly willing to pronounce it music at all, While
others were much interested. The wild, planiive
strains III some passages made more Impressive oy
the frequent pauses were IN peculiar contrast 10 te
triumphant flow OF melody from the band OF the
Belgian Guides, stationed under the Western dome.
The United States trophy, directly opposite The
Turkieh, looks somewhat jumbled as compared with
its unostentatious neghbor.
An English chimney piece" or hearth forms one
side-wail very naturally. since we are but guests,

Our Minister Mr.. Adams, ofiic ates special Rep

If our American representatives must wear some
secondhand Court-dress State occasions abroad
why should thev not, since, having none Of our

strapped together for the fight engaged ia deadly
conflict. Each has at the moment seized with his

There was beautiful and highly polished column

ro,yers and myrtle, and crowned with fuschias also
several busts and ornamental articles cut in Siberian
plrnhago Jet black. aud bearing very high polish.
But must not deiain the procession Of my letter

and extensive French and Austrian displays, Tor in
fact IN. procession itself did not tarry anywhere

I'd, passing out through the western anrexe they
retnrned 10 the deis wher, the ceremonies were
concluded BIZ "God Save the Queen" from the
assembled military bands. The scene in the Garden
was NJ this moment OF great bnaucy and beau
ty The crimson velvet canopy OF the dais shaded
IRON the mild sunbeains Il crowd OF dignltaries in
raiment gtiering with gold-laco and embroidery.
The grounds were filed with moving figures; men
OF distan, lands in quaint attire, mingled with black
coated Europeans and gaiy dressed ladies' lined the
route which the processioD had followed, and
grouped together GA tho green swari wherever
view might he obtained; showers Of silyery spray
fell from the central fountain set round with par
terres OF flowers, formed in Mosaic pictures, with
their iringing box aud over all Heated those deli
oious strains Of music.
Much satisfaction ID expressed by exhibitors fortu
nate enough to have found their in the lis: for
przs medals. Others not quite 30 clear AZ TO the
wisdom and fairness Of the Jurles. The United
States has il seems, larger proportion Of medals 70
