BOSTON, June 81, 1872
The attendance at the Coliseum to-day was very
large when compared to the numbers we were in
the habit of seeing before the arrival OF President
Grant. This event drew quite large number OF
visitors to the town, many Of whom have not yet
departed. The ball last night, Also not without
its influence on the attendance to-day. The ladies'
for the most part, were too tired after the nights
dancing to return to their homes to-day; they,
therefore, avaed themselves OF the opportunity OF
hearing the European bands again before leaving.
Owing to the unusual influx Of ladies the
hall Of the Coliseum to-day presented rather
lively appearance; but there is reason to be-
Meve that tomorrow will behold 1t gloomy and
deserted looking all the sadder for its transient
brilliancy. II the majority even Of those present
this afternoon were paying members the finances
win be considerably improved; but this is point
upon which it is next to impossible to obtain reia
BILE Information. However, from what can be
gathered from the scraps OF conversation one con-
tnually hears 1t is certain that Boston pays very
little towards the big show about which the inhab-
itants blow 30 much for the most part Of the Hub

the strangers who have the temerity to venture
into this huge t0ddling village 1t is melancholy to
contemplate the backwardness Of this people in all
that relates to the practical business oife. In their
ambitious jumping they nave overleaped them
selves and laid the foundation Of misery and sorrow
for unknown generations Of New Englanders; but,
as they remarkably selfish, they probably don't
mind this 80 long as their vanity Is satisfied.
Anxious to shine, they instruct their young women
In singing orat0rios before they have acquired the
much more useful requirement OF washing linen.
THE PROGRAMME TODAY
gave further proof OF the execrable taste of the
directing body whoever they may be- as well as Of
their want of common sense. Most people expected
what actually came to pass that the audience to-
day would have been larger than usual and more
representative. 1t was therefore, Of the first import

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GRAND SHOW
In your very able editorial on the Boston
soluble" yesterday morning you expose, in q
very clear and logical way, the evil con
sequences Of this conceited vainglorous frog
innating business, undertaken by men who have
not the understanding and knowledge to decide
whether such q gigantic enterprise can be
success at all, and, II can, what the means tc
obtain such success. Whether with regard to tho
building or the choral masses or the orchestra OF
