in bringing representatives from
different lands under the Influences
Of an ennobling character
The members of the Evangelical
Alliance have had erected frame
building, capable of accommodate
ing about six hundred persons, at
the Palace du TrocaderO, opposite
the grand entrance to the Exposi-
tion, and intend holding religious
services every morning and after
noon. The building has been
named the "Salle Eyangelique,"
and it was formally inaugurated
yesterday afternoon. The place
was crowded and many were turned
away. The Earl OF Shaftesbury
presided, and addresses were made
by delegates from the different
European branches Of the Alliance.
On both sides Of the building
booths have been erected for the
gratuitous distribution of religious
tracts and portions Of the Scrip
ture in different languages. Hence,
it will be seen that the moral con-
dition Of visitors to the Exhibition
is to be well looked after.
OUTSIDE ATTRACTIONS.
The vicinity Of the Champ-de-
Mars and the Trocadero presents
an appearance similar to that made
on Elm and Belmont avenues dur
ing the Centennial, although not
to such a great extent. Small
@cremeries," where cheap and some
times doubtful meals are sold, are
studded here and there, while al
most everybody seems to be selling
wines and liquors. English beer
and {" Ameriean sandwiches are
duly advertised, but there is not
much risk Of obtaining donkey
steaks for the regular beef. There
is an absence of "two.legged" horse
shows, fat people and other species,
but several hippodromes are max.
ing their appearance near the Ex.
position, and probably the smaller
| fry will come in due time.
During the continuance of the
Exposition tbs stated that the pub.
| lie will be admitted without cards
to the national manufactures o.
porcelain aud carpets at Sevres,
while at other places visitors from
abroad will have equal privileges.
IN FRONT OF THE TRocADERo.
The grounds in trout of the Tro
cadero Palace, and stretching t,
the Exhibition proper, are nov
brilliant with beds of pretty rhodo
dendrons, double tulips and yariou
kinds Of flowers, and when th,
walks have been covered with as
phal;, no doubt the place viii be a
popular as were the walks abou
Horticultural Hall, in Fairmouu
Park. Several ponds, or lakes
with rnstic ornamentation, are t,
be seen here and there, and th,
effect is very pretty. .r g
