BOSTON, June h. 1872.
The second day has witnessed wonderful change
in the prospect OF the Worlds Jubilee. The fearful
apprehensions at the opening that it would fail in
Its purpose of drawing and entertaining vast null
ttude Of people have been partially, If not wholly,
dispelled by the increased attendance and unyer
sal enthusiasm OF to-day. The whole affair seems
to have taken sudden leap forward, and the
projectors are happy In the confident hope that
1t will, after all, prove colossal success as well
colossal AFFAIR generally. 1t is true there yet
very many days intervening before the end of this
great vocal and instrumental hubbub, but in spite
OF this the musical features of the stupendous affair
are so uniformly grand, so unprecedentedly gigantic
and, altogether, the whole undertaking singularly
international, universal in character that it is
almost In keeping with common sense to unite with
Gilmore in believing that it will be the 'big thing"
of the nineteenth century. The ten thousand
visitors to-day in place OF the six seven thou
sand yesterday has filed him with enthusiasm and
confidence Of its full success The event, he saws,
will stand in history not only the great musical
festival OF the whole world, but it will accomplish
more towards the establishing and perpetuation of
bond of friendship among the civilized nations
than all the legislation, joint commissions and
treaties in Christendom. Besides the desire TO
make an honest dollar. and show what he could do
In the way OF stupendous musical affair OF this
Kind probably the protector inspired with
sort OF "peace on earth and good VIII to men"
spirit when he undertook to inaugurate this great
snd novel exhibition.
CONSTANT INFLUX OF VISITORS.
Boston itself will certainly reap a handsome re-
ward from the affair. II is no exaggeration to say
that to-day the transient visitors almost approach
in numbers the resident population. Many OF the
strangers are, OF course, from the country immedi
ately surrounding Still there are thousands
present from distant points. One delegation OF
over a hundred has arrived from San Francisco this
morning, and from all the leading Western cities
there is an influx largely in excess Of what was
anticipated From New York. too, there are hun
dreds Of arrivals daily OF course only fraction of
the multitude present from day to day will partic-
pate in the exercises OF the festival.
THE COST OF ADMISSION TOO HIGH
The case would be otherwise were Ii not for the
mistake made by the management In fixing the
price OF tickets Five dollars is too high by half for
the general public, and there ia a good deal of
grumbling about 1t all around The parties in au-
thOrity see their mistake and the matter of a re-
duction to.three dollars or two and a-half is ser
GRAND PROSPECTS FOR THE SECOND DAY.
Nature smiled upon the second day as upon the
ing would have been impossible Early in the
morning curious crowds began vending their way
IN the direction OF the Coliseum, and by the open
ing hour in the afternoon the multitude assembled
in the neighborhood reminded one OF the enliven-
ing scenes OF the Jubilee OF 1862
The different thoroughfares Of approach were
thronged, the horse cars crowded to their full capa
city, and omnibuses, wagons OF all sorts Of styles.
and in fact every conceivable and available STYLE
of vehicle was brought into requisiton to transport
hther and tnither the jubilant crowd that had come
to see and hear the Jubilee.
ENTERTAINMENTS OUTSIDE.
The grounds surrounding the Coliseum are COW
cred with tents and booths and for those who don't
participate in the Jubilee in a legitimate manner,
there are an abundance OF other entertainments
at a more moderate figure. In one large
tent free religious services are held two
or three times daily; In half dozen
others there are negro minstrel and other
entertainments OF kindred nature and I'm the midst
OF them all is a mammoth balloon in which short
ascensions are made by such as care to take the
chances and view Boston from an altitude of
Thousand ieet or Whereabouts. Besides all these
there are hundreds Of lager beer stands from which
the refreshing and cooling fluid is dispensed in
future OF the Puritan Bostonians who inhabit the
swell front mansions of the Back Bay district
These side shows and minor attractions held large
CROWDS all the day long, larger, perhaps than the
concourse entertained by Strauss, the Grenadier
band, and Gumore's other imported and domestic
artists.
MAGNIFICENT OPENING SCENES.
The doors OF the Coliseum were opened at two
o'clock, and in half an hour afterward the majority
OF the 10000 visitors were In their seats. The
orchestra and the chorus 1t should be remembered,
numbered 10000, and, although the contrast was
not so marked as yesterday yet II was still some
what comical TO see the performers outnumber the
audience by two to one. The scene, under
still grand and impressive: The vast
toilets, the dazzling decorations OF the inte-
nor OF the huge structure, together with the bril-
nant audience assembled, formed altogether a
spectacle rarely witnessed in lifetime.
THE JAPANESE AND FOREIGN AND HOME OFFICIALS.
Inc Japanese visitors, who are themselves oh
ecls oi some attraction, looked on with evident in
crest anu astonishment, and the other distin-
kushed aisitors, such az the Governors OF the dif
lent states, the foreign Consuls Henry Ward
beecher and the like, were positively intoxicated
nith delight at the splendor and magnitude OF
