DESCRIPTION OF THE EXHIBITION. !
On entering from the Exhibition
road by the doorway near the
entrance of the National Portrait
Gallery, the visitor finds at the end
of the short vestibule an opening
giving access to the fish market.
This will be novel feature of the
Exhibition, for here will be sent
specimens of the rarer kind of fish
brought to land daily, as well as
supplies of the ordinary stocks of
the tishmonger But in order to
make the public acquainted with the
less generally-known varieties of
food the sea yields, lectures and
practical demonstrations will be given,
under the direction of Mrs. Clarke,
by members of the National School
of Cookery, and the conveniently-ar-
ranged theatre, in which instruction
on this subject is to be given, is now
being decorated at the expense of
the Baroness Burdett Coutts, as well
as an adjoining dining room, in
which fish dinner at a trifing charge
will be prepared each day. To Sc
cure a supply of the fish required for
these purposes, the Fishmongers'
Company have made a contract for
the regular delivery of specified
quantity, and here many Londoners
will probably first knowingly taste
the roker, the ling, the catfish, con-
ger, weavers, hale, the gurnard, and
the coal-fish. In the long southern
transept will be nets, fishing-gear,
boat models, and all that appertains
to the sea-fisheries of Great Britain,
while such things as are employed in
our fresh-water fishing are in the
parallel transept to the north, where
the opening ceremony was held.
Between these have been erected
many buildings, some connected
with them, in which space is appor-
toned to different States, others
detached, which are appropriated to
particular classes of exhibits. Paral-
lei to the southern transept are the
departments for machinery in motion
and for life-boats and life-saving
apparatus. Near by is separate
shed, in which two coastguard men
will attend to explain the working
of rocket apparatus approved by the
Board of Trade. In another place
Siren fog-horns and caloric fog
signals may be seen, but, in consi-
Iteration to the jewellers in the
neighbourhood, rarely heard. On
either side, that is, to east and west,
are annexes, in which are exhibits
from China, and Japan, the Straits
Settlements, and our Australian
colonies on the one hand, and from
the West Indies, Hawaiian Islands,
Portugal, France, Austria, Poland,
Germany, Italy, and Greece on the
other, Russia has a separate build
ing, and corresponding one has
been put up for Spain, the Govern
ment having shown their interest in
the Exhibition by sending a man-of-
war along the coast of Spain to col
lect exhibits. Canada, the United
States, and Newfoundland, Sweden,
Norway, Denmark, Holland, and
Belgium, will all send contributions.
The permanent arcades and quad
rants of the 1862 Exhibition are
being turned to account, and to the
west will be the the aquaria, for the
illustration of fish culture, and with
specimens of fish attacked by para
sites. The fountain basins and cages
placed in the northern. part of the
grounds will be used for the exhibi.
ton of birds and beasts that prey
upon the tinny tribe. Stuffed fish
caught by members Of angling clubs
will be shown in the west quadrant
and additional value will be given to
the natural history department by the
Exhibition in building near the
new Natural History Museum of the
fine collection of fish preserved il
spirit now to be brought from
Bloomsbury. 1t remains to bt
added that, in order to make TIN
Exhibition as truly popular as could
be desired, it will be kept open in tn
evening, and brilliantly lighted b.
