INTRODUCTION. 
 
 It was originally my intention, as it was that of my colleagues, 
 that during each year of out tenancy of the site at Earl’s Court 
 an entirely different Exhibition should be given, and which should 
 be in marked contrast to its predecessors. In fact, I have arranged 
 the subject, and to a certain extent planned the outlines of a 
 sufficient number to the close of the present century. The subject 
 for this year, therefore, had been long ago agreed upon, and 
 arrangements for it were well under weigh when the Exhibition of 
 1895 closed. Shortly after that time, however, hundreds of 
 letters were received asking that there should be a repetition 
 of the successful Exhibition of the Empire of India. So 
 unanimous seemed to be this demand on the part of the 
 public that it was finally resolved to postpone the Exhibition 
 projected for 1896 and enlarge and expand that of 1895. 
 
 Communication was at once opened up with prominent men in 
 Ceylon and other Dependencies of the Crown in Asia, and so 
 enthusiastically was the scheme taken up by them, that it was 
 determined that last year’s structures should be transformed and 
 embellished, and that many important additions should be made 
 thereto. 
 
 The first move was to provide against all possible chances of 
 an inclement season by not only enlarging the area of space under 
 cover, but to render it possible to amuse the 30,000 or 40,000 daily 
 visitors under all contingencies of weather. For this purpose it 
 was necessary to more closely connect each portion of the grounds, 
 and place these connections under cover, so as to secure a con- 
 tinuous outlet for the crowds and provide various places and points 
 of amusement in contiguity to the sheltered ways, as well as 
 to arrange spaces for refreshment in both pleasant and unpleasant- 
 weather . 
 
Y1 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 With this end in view, work was immediately commenced on 
 the New Arcade. This not only will, I am sure, prove of great 
 convenience to those desiring to visit the Western Gardens on 
 their entrance from Warwick Eoad or Lillie Road, hut will form a 
 pleasant promenade on fine days, or a safe and pleasant refuge in 
 rainy weather. 
 
 The Central Halls, which were unfinished last year, now afford 
 comfortable lounges and convenient places of meeting. Their 
 proximity to the Empress Theatre will also be appreciated by the 
 audience between the acts. 
 
 In reconstructing the Indian City, I have divided it into two 
 sections, Indian and Cingalese. In each will be found a great 
 number of native artisans and performers, none of whom have 
 ever before visited England. In the Indian City and in Elysia, 
 several new buildings have been erected for the use of these 
 strangers in amusing and entertaining the public. 
 
 The list of amusements will this vear be found even more 
 
 t / 
 
 extensive and varied than that of last year. The monster captive 
 balloon “ Majestic ” will make frequent trips under the charge of a 
 capable aeronaut; the Belvedere Tower, brilliantly lighted by 
 night, should find a numerous clientele , and Indian and Cingalese 
 artists will, throughout the day and evening, give frequent 
 performances. 
 
 These and many other features, with good music, effective 
 illuminations, and the beautiful gardens, should make the season of 
 1896 a memorable one in this The Garden of London.

India and Ceylon Exhibition. 
 
 The Ducal Hall, which last year was devoted to the 
 Tile Export Section, is now set apart for a large and 
 Ducal varied Loan Collection of curiosities and relics from 
 Hall. all portions of our Eastern Empire, while its two 
 wings are utilised as Picture Galleries containing 
 the valuable works of Mr. E. L. Weeks and other distinguished 
 artists. 
 
 The Queen’s Palace, a building 432 feet long and 
 70 feet wide, with an area of over 32,000 square 
 feet, is used for Industrial, Commercial, and Art 
 Exhibits, from Ceylon, Burma, and other Eastern 
 Dependencies, together with representative Exhibits 
 of British-made goods adapted for Eastern trade. 
 
 At the foot of the bridge leading from the Queen’s 
 Palace are the Central Halls. These Halls are 
 decorated in true Indian style, and serve as a con- 
 venient rendezvous for visitors, as well as annexes 
 to the Empress Theatre which they adjoin.

 The

 Theatre. 
 
 The largest theatre in the world has been so 
 frequently described, that but a few words are 
 necessary at this time. The roof-span being 220 feet, 
 is the largest of that of any building in England, 
 except that of the Midland Eailway at St. Pancras. 
 The height of the building from the floor to the top of the 
 lantern is 117 feet. It seats over 5,000 persons on platforms so 
 carefully arranged, that each tier is undisturbed by those in front, 
 and as there is not a pillar or post in the building, an unobstructed 
 view of the stage is to be had from every portion of the 
 auditorium. The corridors are wide, and there are two spacious 
 and well-appointed foyers. The principal stage is 315 feet in 
 width and 100 feet in depth, and the supplementary or mechanical 
 stage gives an additional 75 feet of depth. All the decorations are 
 Indian, and bear close resemblance to some of the more important 
 buildings in that portion of the East. In the corridors of the 
 Theatre are some specially interesting exhibits, which will well 
 repay atteotion. 
 
INDIAN AND CEYLON EXHIBITION. 
 
 The Imperial Court and Gardens have been 
 materially changed, and now present an appearance 
 of singular beauty. They contain a very large 
 number of Exhibits of Indian Industries and 
 Manufactures, and are rich in floral decoration and 
 more brilliantly illuminated than ever. A Post and Telegraph 
 Office is here provided for the convenience of the public. 
 
 From the centre of the Imperial Court the new 
 The ew covered Arcade, 480 feet long and 40 feet wide, spans 
 Areade. the space leading to the Western Gardens. This 
 New Arcade is a very prominent feature in the 
 Grounds this year. Its ornamentation is rich and imposing, and 
 the bright and cheerful stalls which extend along each side 
 add to the bustle and animation of the place. The Arcade 
 will also be found to be of great convenience to those who 
 desire to visit the Western Gardens on their arrival. Hitherto, 
 to do this, it was necessary to pass through the entire Grounds 
 towards the Wheel, cross one of the bridges, and retrace a very 
 considerable portion of the distance already travelled. This is 
 now avoided, as the New Arcade forms a continuous covered con- 
 nection between the Earl's Court Station and the Welcome Club 
 and Quadrant Restaurant.

 The

 Gardens. 
 
 In this portion of the Grounds are situated the 
 Old Welcome Club, Quadrant Restaurant, Pano- 
 rama Building, Electrophone, Switchback, Tea and 
 Lunch Rooms and other places of refreshment, and 
 a number of attractions. 
 
 The 
 
 Indian 
 
 and 
 
 Cingalese 
 
 City. 
 
 The Indian and Cingalese City is approached from 
 the Imperial. Court or Elysia, and is one of the 
 most interesting and important portions of the 
 Exhibition. ITere are men and women from India 
 and Ceylon working at various branches of 
 industry with the same tools and after the 
 same method as their fathers did hundred of years ago. These 
 artisans comprise Cingalese Potters, Brass Workers, Silversmiths, 
 Painters, Ivory Carvers, Mat Weavers, Stone Cutters, Ebony wood 
 Carvers, Lace makers, and Indian Carpet Weavers, Royal Press 
 and Kincob Weavers, Dacca Sari Weavers, Dacca Jamdani Dhoti 
 Weavers, Dacca Muslin Weavers, Glass Bangle Makers, Glass 
 Blowers, Glass Globe Blowers, Gilders and Polishers, Indian and 
 Dacca Goldsmith Jewellers, Gold and Silver Embroiderers, Shoe- 
 makers, Ivory Photo Painters, Tack and Scenery Painters, 
 Wood Turners, Tailors, Marble Stone Fancy Article Makers, 
 Copper and Brass Smiths, Copper and Brass Chisel Engravers,

 and Silver Leaves Makers and Tinsellers on Drapery, Wood and 
 Sandalwood Carvers, Ivory and Inlaid Carvers, Bohraju 
 Sweetmeat Makers, Hindoo Sweetmeat Makers, and Indian Cheese 
 Makers. 
 
 The Mosque’ has changed its locality, and the Delhi Building 
 of last year has given place to one from the North-Western 
 Punjaub, where more ornate colouring and ornamentation 
 prevail. The Gate, too, has followed suit, and is now a more 
 massive and imposing structure of beautifully veined marble 
 encrusted with panels of enamelled tiles. The Indian Tea House 
 has been enlarged, and will this year, it is expected, eclipse its 
 very large business of the previous season. In addition to this, 
 Messrs. Spiers and Pond also have opened a Tea Enclosure in 
 which the aromatic tea of Ceylon will form the principal 
 attraction. 
 
 In this replica of an Indian city an excellent idea may be 
 gained of the existence of the natives in our Eastern possessions, as 
 the squares, streets, and bazaars of the Lilliputian municipality con- 
 tain all the ingredients of Asiatic life. The animation and bustle of 
 the scene, amid which move “My lord, the Elephant,” the stately 
 Camel, and the diminutive Zebu, drawing its load of happy and 
 delighted children, is thoroughly Eastern, and cannot fail to prove 
 an interesting and instructive object-lesson. 
 
 In Elysia two new buildings — the Burmese Theatre 
 Elysia. and Cingalese Illusionists’ Hall — have been erected, 
 and the lighting is even of a more elaborate nature 
 than that of last year. 
 
 So much for the buildings and structures with which the 
 beautiful grounds are now studded, and which furnish a covered 
 space of not less than five and a quarter acres, so that, in the most 
 inclement weather, the vast crowds that visit the Exhibition will 
 find shelter in comfortable and convenient quarters. 
 
 The Amusements this year open to the public 
 are far in excess of any ever offered at any 
 Amusements, preceding Exhibition held in London. Not 
 
 only are they numerous and varied, but in 
 every instance are of a high standard of excellence, and designed, 
 whilst interesting and amusing the public generally, to elevate 
 and instruct all classes of the community. 
 
 For over a quarter -of -a- century the name of 
 The Dan Godfrey has been a household word to the 
 Bands Of lovers of music throughout the English-speaking 
 Musie. world. The high standard of perfection to which he 
 had brought the Band of the Grenadier Guards was 
 so thoroughly recognised in Great Britain that when the famous 
 
16 
 
 INDIAN AND CEYLON EXHIBITION. 
 
 Peace Jubilee was held in Boston in 1871, the first foreign band 
 secured was that under the control of this distinguished conductor. 
 Permission was asked of the Government, and, after considerable 
 demur, was granted for the Band to attend and participate in that 
 great gathering of the world’s greatest musicians. It was in the 
 summer of 1871 that this Band appeared in the immense 
 Jubilee Hall* before an audience of 30,000 persons. It was an 
 historic event. For the first time in one hundred years British 
 soldiers were seen in the streets of Boston, and in the classic 
 American city, on the centennial anniversary of the Battle of 
 Bunker’s Kill, within sight of the monument reared on that 
 renowned battle-field, Dan Godfrey and the Band of the British 
 Grenadiers electrified the vast American audience as they have so 
 often done before and since in our own country. No exhibition is 
 considered complete without the veteran, and it was with pleasure 
 that the Directors completed the arrangements that for another 
 season will enable visitors to the Exhibition to enjoy the brilliant 
 music of this delightful Band. 
 
 The excellent Band of the Coldstream Guards under 
 Mr. J. M. Bogan has been also engaged, and, with other 
 military bands, will be heard in different portions of the 
 Exhibition. The carefully- selected programmes for which Mr. 
 Bogan is well known and the uniform excellence of the Band will 
 be appreciated during the season by all lovers of good music. 
 
 In addition to Signor Yenanzi’s Grand Orchestra, whose 
 playing gave such general satisfaction at the Exhibition last year, 
 two bands — the Empress and the Imperial — composed of picked 
 musicians have been formed, which will relieve the Military Bands, 
 and assist in giving that importance to this branch of amusement 
 so necessary to the success of this great undertaking. 
 
 The scheme of illumination is this year very 
 The striking and effective. In all portions of 
 
 Illuminations. the Grounds every opportunity has been 
 
 improved which could serve as a pretext for 
 additional lighting, and never before have these beautiful Grounds 
 been so brilliantly illuminated. Bows of lights mark roof-trees and 
 eave -lines, candelabra of cluster lights depend from ceilings, groups 
 of lights outline arches and bridges, and gas pavilions beautify and 
 adorn the various sections of the vast Pleasure Grounds. Wherever 
 the visitor wanders, the beautiful place seems more enchanting, by 
 reason of a fairy wand waved from some harmonious light 
 visible or concealed. The illuminated fountain is again a nightly 
 feature of attraction in the Queen’s Court. 
 
 The Western Garden, with its beautiful Lawn and 
 
 The Promenades, will ever remain one of the main 
 Gardens, attractions of the place. The Imperial Garden laid 
 out this year more elaborately than ever, and with 
 baskets of flowers between each column of the adjoining Court*

 will "be also much admired. The Parvati Garden, so well 
 enclosed by Indian scenery, will have many friends to admire its 
 island grottoes and terraces, while the brilliantly-lighted Ehemba 
 Garden is a strong rival. The new Saras vati Garden, in the 
 vicinity of the Electric Power House, affords a pleasant promenade, 
 and will be a favourite lounging place during pleasant evenings. 
 
 The Electrical House is situated behind the Imperial 
 Court, and is a specially constructed building, 114 
 feet by 82 and 50 feet high. The boilers and engines 
 are from the Colchester establishment of Messrs. 
 Havey, Paxman and Co. They consist of nine steel 
 locomotive type boilers, each capable of evaporating 
 from 300 to 350 gallons per hour, working at a pressure of 
 120 lbs. to the square inch. Then there are one compound 
 horizontal Colchester engine, capable of indicating 220ffi.p. ; one 
 compound horizontal, indicating 125-h.p. ; one coupled compound 
 girder engine, also of 125-h.p. ; two single-acting high-speed 
 engines, coupled direct to the dynamo shafts, each indicating 
 185-h.p. ; and one similar engine, indicating 140-h.p., making in 
 all about 1,000-i.h.p. 
 
 The dynamos and switchboards are by the Brush Engineering 
 Company, and consist of two 100-kilowatt Mordey alternators, 
 coupled direct to the large single-acting engines ; one 75-kilowatt, 
 coupled direct to the smaller high-speed engine ; also one 
 75-kilowatt Mordey alternator, belt-driven. This comprises all 
 the incandescent lighting dynamos, sufficient in the aggregate for 
 the supply of about 11,500 8-c.p. lamps. In connection with the 
 alternate current dynamos are three 100 -kilowatt Mordey trans- 
 formers of various sizes, which are distributed at local parts over 
 the grounds to form sub-stations, from whence low-pressure 
 current is taken for the incandescent lamps. The distribution to 
 these transformers is by high tension at 2,000 volts pressure. The 
 whole system of high-pressure mains is carried under ground in 
 iron piping. 
 
 The arc-lighting dynamos consist of six improved Brush 
 5 5 -light machines. Five of these are in use to supply the 
 numerous arc-lamps over the grounds, and the other is kept 
 ready for any emergency which might arise. 
 
 In addition to the general lighting-plant there are two Brush 
 Vienna 25-kilowatt low-tension dynamos, specially utilised for a 
 portion of the lighting of the theatre and illuminated fountains 
 in the Queen’s Court. These are also adapted co take the place 
 of any of the alternator exciting machines should these fail. 
 
 It is not an easy task to cater for the great number 
 Refresh" of persons who daily frequent an Exhibition. The 
 ments. caterers must be prepared for all emergencies, and 
 be ready to provide for a crowd which on a wet day 
 may not exceed 20,000 and on a tine one may not be far lesa than

 100,000. This is a task which only limitless resources as well as 
 wide experience can successfully accomplish. The extensive firm 
 of Messrs. Spiers and Pond possess both these qualifications in a 
 high degree, and at their various places of refreshment in the 
 Exhibition they have arranged for the wants of every class of 
 customer likely to patronise them. In the Quadrant Restaurant 
 no pains have been spared to satisfy the miost exacting epicure, as is 
 evident from the tempting menu and extensive wine list. In 
 this Great Hall and its ample verandah over 500 dinners are 
 nightly served, and favourite seats are often booked many days in 
 advance. At the Curry House in the Queen’s Court an excellent 
 dinner is served nightly at a lower price than that at the Quadrant ; 
 while in the Grill Room opposite, meals a la carte are served at all 
 hours of the day and evening. In the Tiffin Room in the Western 
 Gardens a still more moderate -priced dinner is served, while at the 
 Canteen prices range so low as to suit the most modest purse. 
 
 The Refreshment Bars are conveniently situated in all portions 
 of the grounds, and to accommodate patrons of the Empress 
 Theatre two fine bars have this -year been opened in the upper 
 tier. At all these refreshment bars the greatest care has been 
 exercised in the selection of every article offered for sale, and the 
 prices charged are as moderate as at any first-class establishment 
 in any part of London. 
 
 In this portion of the grounds the doors of the 
 Old popular Old Welcome Club will be opened to 
 Welcome members and their friends, who, whether dining al 
 Club. fresco in the club-house or seated on the emerald 
 lawn, may listen to the strains of music from the 
 Band of the Grenadier Guards, under the baton of the veteran 
 Lieutenant Dan Godfrey, or that of Mr. J. M. Rogan of the 
 Coldstream Guards. The popular caterers, Messrs. Spiers and Pond, 
 are this year surpassing themselves in their attention to the wants 
 of the 700 members of the club. 
 
 The magnificence of the Historical Spectacle which 
 Mr. Imre Kiralfy produced last August at the 
 Empress Theatre was recognised with enthusiasm 
 alike by the Press and public, and the immense 
 audiences which twice daily assembled to witness 
 this succession of gorgeous pageants testified to 
 its unbounded popularity. Never before in the history of the 
 stage had there been so brilliant a representation of so brilliant 
 and fascinating a theme. India, with its unparalleled history, its 
 transitions from one dynasty to another, each one distinct in itself 
 in barbaric splendour, and yet each leading up to the grand 
 climax, which for ever brought peace and prosperity within her 
 borders — the establishment of an Empire under our Most Gracious

 Sovereign — was a subject which called for the broadest treatment, 
 which gave scope to the most fertile imagination, and afforded 
 opportunities which only a master mind could successfully grasp. 
 That Mr. Imre Kiralfy was fully equal to the gigantic task to 
 which he had set himself was shown in his fertility of resource, 
 his ingenious stage mechanism, his unrivalled powers of invention 
 and organisation, his daring and brilliant colouring, the kaleido- 
 scopic movement of his hundreds of performers, the novelty of his 
 situations, his exquisite manipulation of light and shade, the com- 
 pleteness of detail and realism of all the surroundings, the 
 picturesqueness of his characters, and that subtle charm which, 
 blending all in one perfect whole, reveals the Artist’s hand. Not 
 content with repeating himself, and well knowing his subject by 
 no means exhausted, Mr. Kiralfy has this year given a revised 
 and reconstructed version of the Grand Spectacle, with still more 
 novel effects, and, while adding to the beauty of its effect, has 
 compressed it from four acts to two. He has written new music 
 for many of the scenes, and by heightening the general brilliancy 
 of his effects and increasing the realism of the great ship scene has 
 given us a spectacle even more striking and imposing than that of 
 the previous year. 
 
 The wonders of Ancient Rome, 312 A.p., are 
 Ancient depicted with great realism in the Great Panorama, 
 Rome, painted by Professors J. Buhlmann and Alexander 
 312 A.D. Wagner, and exhibited in the Panorama Hall in 
 the Western Gardens. This great work of art has 
 been already exhibited in Munich and Berlin, where it not only 
 aroused the enthusiasm of the world of Art, but was the wonder of 
 the people. This magnificent painting is 50 feet high, 394 feet in 
 circumference, and covers 1,938 square feet of canvas. Rome 
 standing on its seven hills, and revelling in a splendour long since 
 departed, is seen in the very zenith of its splendour on the day 
 when the Emperor Constantine made his triumphant entry 
 through her gates. Every phase of the important day is shown. 
 While the victorious legions of the first Christian Emperor are 
 entering the city, the old religion, still existing in another portion, 
 is depicted in pagan sacrifices which are yet continued. But no 
 words can adequately describe the remarkable painting built up 
 foot by foot from the ruins of the Eternal City by the patient 
 research and technical skill of these great artists. From the 
 crowds which line the streets to the glorious atmosphere the spirit 
 of true art reveals itself, and the spectator will be at a loss which 
 to admire most, the stirring action of the life-like figures in the 
 city, or the dreamy restfulness of the Italian sky. No one who 
 enters the Exhibition gates this year should miss seeing this 
 masterpiece of perspective Art.

 The attractions in Elysia are this year varied 
 The and extensive. Foremost among them is the Great 
 Great Wheel, which last year proved so delightful an 
 Wheel. experience to thousands of “ revolvers.” For the 
 information of strangers, it may be said that 
 this marvellous piece of engineering skill has an altitude of 300 feet. 
 The axle is 7 feet in diameter, and is supported on eight columns, 
 150 feet in height. Around the wheel are swung forty c irs, each 
 of which is 24 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 10 feet high. Each 
 of these cars weighs 5J tons, and is constituted to carry thirty 
 passengers, so that 1,200 persons may be accommodated at every 
 revolution. The first party who patronised the wheel after its 
 completion last year consisted of H.R.H. the Princess of Wales, 
 the Princesses Victoria and Maud, the Crown Prince of Denmark, 
 Duke and Duchess of Sparta, Prince Maximilian of Baden, Duke 
 and Duchess of York, Princess , Louise (Duchess of Fife), Prince 
 Adolphus of Teck, Prince Francis of Teck, and their suites, 
 consisting of Mdlle. Contastavalas, the Hon. Mrs. C. Hardinge, 
 Miss Knollys, Captain Bull, and Major-General Stanley Clarke. 
 
 In the Western Gardens there will be hourly 
 The ascents of the monster captive balloon 
 
 Balloon “ Majestic,” to the height of one thousand feet. 
 
 “Majestic.” No more beautiful sight can be obtained than 
 
 that of London lying like an open map, her 
 streets and avenues stretching out to where green fields lay, while, 
 like a silver thread, the Thames winds and twists among countless 
 spires and glistening roofs. A capable aeronaut will accompany 
 each party, and will point out the various points of interest as the 
 mammoth balloon imperceptibly glides into mid-air with its living 
 freight. 
 
 In the Rhemba Gardens a Belvedere Tower has 
 been erected, similar to those at the World’s Fair, 
 Chicago, and at the Paris and Philadelphia Exhi- 
 bitions. The Towner is graceful in design, has 
 several balconied storeys, and is provided with two 
 passenger lifts. The upper p 1 atf orm will hold 100 persons. From 
 this a striking view of the Exhibition may be obtained, 
 From the top of the Tower a lighthouse lamp of 4,000,000 candle 
 power will burn at night. 
 
 On the lake in the Queen’s Court a fleet of Electric Boafs 
 makes frequent trips through the Parvati and Rhemba Gardens, 
 giving their occupants an opportunity of seeing from a distance 
 the architectural features of the buildings built on the margin of 
 the sheet of water, in wdiich at night are reflected the lights of the 
 thousands of electric lamps that mark the outlines of these 
 buildings and the adjacent bridges

 The Indian and Burmese Elephants, Camels, Rickshaws, 
 and Zebus, as heretofore, make constant trips through the city 
 with passengers to each point of interest, and afford a very good 
 idea of the mode of travelling so frequently adopted in journeys 
 in the East. 
 
 What was the Indian Theatre is now the Bombay 
 Palace of Varieties, where Indian Drum Beaters, 
 Jugglers, Baroda Acrobats, and other performers 
 will present the weird and curious forms wdiich 
 for centuries have marked their methods of amusement in that land.

SYNOPSIS 
 
 OF 
 
 IMRE KIRALFY’S 
 
 HISTORICAL SPECTACLE, 
 
 “IITDIA ” 
 
 FIRST ACT. 
 
 Scene 1.— THE FALL OF SOMNATH, 1024. 
 
 The Scene represents the City of Somnath. During the progress of 
 the Scene the Ceremonies at the burning of a Hindu widow are inter- 
 rupted by an attack on the City by Mahmud. A regiment of cavalry 
 dash at full speed across the immense stage, and after a desperate 
 fight this last stronghold of Hindu power yields to the victorious 
 Muhammadans . 
 
 Scene 2.— AKBAR AND THE ENGLISH 
 MERCHANTS, 1599. 
 
 In this scene is shown the first appearance of the English Trader 
 in India. These English Merchants, representing the Honourable East 
 India Company, are presented to the Emperor, who receives them 
 graciously and promises to listen to their proposals. He distributes his 
 weight in gold and precious stones to the populace, ordering that the 
 choicest guns should be given to the Englishmen. Thus England 
 makes her first impression upon India. 
 
 Scene 3.— THE JUMNA RIVER. 
 
 This exquisite Scene gives a panoramic idea of the beauties of this 
 famous river. The Emperor and his suite voyage from Allahabad to 
 Agra in Royal Barges. The effect of this Scene is made possible by the 
 aid of novel and original mechanism, never before attempted on any 
 stage. 
 
 Scene 4.-JEHANGHIR, THE GREAT MOGUL, 
 
 1616. 
 
 The Scene opens with a procession, in which over 1,000 persons 
 take part. A complete and realistic representation of an Indian 
 Durbar is then given. This brilliant function is in honour of Sir 
 Thomas Roe, the Ambassador of Janies I. to the Indian Court. 
 England’s power in India is now rapidly developing. 
 
 Scene 5.-THE GATES OF SWARGA. 
 
 India’s Divine Guides rejoice that through their ministrations 
 India is blessed with pr. sperity and happiness.

 SYNOPSIS. 
 
 Scene 6.-SIVAJI, THE CHIEF OF THE 
 MAHRATTAS, 1070. 
 
 This Scene is a wild Mountain Pass, where stands the Maliratta 
 Chieftain’s fortress. The -Mogul Dynasty is now tottering to its fall. 
 By treachery, it is hoped that the fortress may be captured, and Mogul 
 soldiers make a fierce sortie upon it, but are driven back and defeated 
 by the Mahrattas. Now is the Hindu Pule in India re-established. 
 
 Scene 7. -A DREAM OF THE HINDU 
 
 PARADISE. 
 
 The entire stage is filled with many hundreds of performers, in 
 dazzling costumes, whirling in the giddy mazes of the dance, and pro- 
 ducing a series of wonderful stage pictures, which rapidly follow each 
 other in kaleideoscopic succession, till the scene closes in an artistic 
 tableau of incomparable beauty. 
 
 SECOND ACT. 
 
 Scene 8 -PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR, 1858. 
 
 Extending from one end to the other of the immense stage lies at 
 anchor a British Transport Ship nearly 400ft. in length. She is about 
 to proceed to India with troops, who are proceeding to the relief of 
 their imperilled countrymen in the great Mutiny. As the men arrive 
 in boats from the shore they are greeted with cheers by the hundreds of 
 spectators who lie in proximity to the ship, and who have come to bid 
 them God speed. The two regiments embark, and with steam up, the 
 ship moves steadily from her moorings, and with her gallant cargo, 
 glides swiftly down the harbour, amid the shouts of the soldiers and the 
 affectionate farewells of the people. 
 
 Scene 9.-OUR QUEEN AS EMPRESS OF 
 
 INDIA, 1877. 
 
 This historic scene has been prepared with every attention to strict 
 accuracy in every detail. The Viceroy of India, with the Native 
 Princes, are seen assembled at Delhi on the memorable New Year’s 
 Day, when England’s Queen became Imperial Mistress of millions of 
 Indian subjects, and whose Chiefs had come to do homage to their 
 Sovereign. The remarkable procession of that day is here revived 
 with pomp and spier; dour, and amid salvoes of artillery the Herald 
 makes the Proclamation which ensured peace and happiness for ever to 
 the mighty people of that great land. 
 
 The Scene is transformed into a final

The Empire of British India. 
 
 T HE collection of large countries known under the name of 
 British India, it has been said, occupies nearly the same 
 relative position with regard to Asia that Italy does to 
 Europe. It mainly consists of a spur projecting southwards from 
 the central and loftiest part of the great mountain axis of the Old 
 World, this spur being wide towards the mountains and gradually 
 narrowing until terminating southward at Cape Comorin. The 
 large island of Ceylon represents Sicily. The great and mighty 
 Ganges drains the southern face of the Asiatic Alps into the Bay 
 of Bengal, just as the Po does that of the European Alps into the 
 Adriatic. The mountains of Arracan on the east, and of the 
 country beyond the Indus to the west, form, with the Himalaya, 
 the land boundaries of India. To this immense peninsula the 
 English have added Burma, the large strip of country lying 
 between India proper on the west and the Chinese and Siamese 
 territories. It will only be possible to give a very brief and 
 general idea of the magnitude and political and commercial im- 
 portance of this immense Empire, which has an area of over 
 one-and-a-half millions of square miles, or thirteen times that 
 of the British Isles. 
 
 The great and paramount influence that the quest and 
 possession of India has had on the English people in stimulating 
 them in adventure and colonisation is too apt in these days to be 
 forgotten or decried. Sir G. Birdwood, in his “Report on the 
 Old Records of the India Office,” very forcibly points out that the 
 great middle class of this country practically owes its existence to 
 the efforts of the Elizabethan merchant adventurers who laid the 
 foundations of our Indian Empire, the establishment of which was 
 the first step in the political development of England, and of the 
 enormous mercantile prosperity and naval supremacy we enjoy 
 to-day. 
 
THE EMPIRE OF ERITISH INDIA.

 According to the Census of 1891, there were 221,172,952 
 Tile people in British territory ; this shows an increase of 
 People, no less than 22,312,346 since 1881. The population 
 of the Native States in the same year was 66,050,479, 
 which shows the relatively still larger increase of 11,117,571 since 
 the last Census. This gives the vast number of 287,222,431 persons 
 as the total population of British India, or about one-fifth the 
 estimated total inhabitants of the world. Over ninety per cent, 
 of the people are followers of various forms of HinduisDi and of 
 the Prophet Mahommed. Next in importance are the Buddhists, 
 mostly found in Burma. After these come the Parsees, who, 
 although small in numbers, are a wealthy and powerful sect in the 
 country, especially in Western India. More than sixty per cent, 
 of the people are directly engaged in agriculture. 
 
 On the 1st of November, 1858, the glorious career of 
 The the Honourable East India Company was brought to 
 Govern- a close, and the government of the territories in India 
 ment. transferred to the Crown. The government of 
 British India was, after the transfer, entrusted to a 
 Secretary of State for India, assisted by a Council of not less than 
 ten members. The duties of the Council are, under the direction of 
 the Secretary of State, to conduct all business transactions in the 
 United Kingdom in relation to the Government of India. The 
 India Office, situated in St. James’s Park, is the official seat 
 of the Secretary of State. The executive authority in India 
 is vested in a Governor-General, who is commonly styled 
 Viceroy, appointed by the Crown, and acting under the orders of 
 the Secretary of State for India. The Viceroy is assisted by a 
 Council of five members. For the purposes of administration, 
 British India is divided into thirteen local Governments, as 
 follows : — 
 
 Madras — Pop. 33,630,440. Bombay — Pop. 18,901,123. Bengal 
 — Pop. 71,346,987. The North-West Provinces and Oadh — Pop. 
 46,905,085. The Punjab — Pop. 20,866,847. The Central Provinces 
 — Pop. 10,784,294. The Province of Burma— Pop. 7,605,560. 
 Assam — Pop. 5,476,833. Berar , or the Hyderabad Assigned Districts 
 — Pop. 2,897,491. Ajmere-Memvara, Rajputana — Pop. 542,358. 
 Coorg — Pop. 173,055. British Baluchistan . The Andaman and 
 Nicobar Islands — Pop. 27,000. 
 
 The administration of the Native and Feudatory States of 
 India is not under the direct control of British officials, but is 
 subject to the control of the Supreme Government, which is 
 exercised in varying degrees.

THE EMPIRE OE BRITISH INDIA. 
 
 29 
 
 India is not a manufacturing country; prac- 
 Industries tically over 90 per cent of the population are 
 and Mann- either directly or indirectly engaged in pursuits 
 faetures. connected with the tillage of the land. The 
 
 domestic industries, such as weaving and 
 spinning, pottery, iron and brass work, and various forms of art 
 handicrafts, still continue to be practised after ancient methods all 
 over the Continent of India. However, within the last few years, 
 without any protection, favour or advantage, other than that afforded 
 by cheap labour and the contiguous raw materials, India has 
 made important advances in manufacturing industries, and many 
 steam factories fitted with the most approved modern machinery 
 are now at work — especially cotton and jute mills — the success of 
 which is creating much uneasiness in Manchester and Dundee. 
 
 _ . The more important of the great staples of Indian 
 
 trade are cotton, seeds, grain, jute, opium, tea, and 
 a e * hides and skins. 
 
 Cotton and Cotton Manufactures come first in order of 
 magnitude, with a total trade in 1894-95 of no less than 
 1^48,525,000. There is no doubt that the efforts of the Indian 
 mills to produce fine yarns have been financially successful, and 
 that the better qualities will be more and more largely produced — 
 at first and for some time from imported cotton, and afterwards 
 from suitable cotton, which can and will be grown in India when it 
 is demanded by the manufacturers. 
 
 Seeds. — The total area under oil-seeds in 1894-95 was 
 14,815,951 acres, and the trade in the principal kinds of oil- 
 seeds was in cwts. : castor, 1,175,000; earthnuts, 2,267,000; 
 linseed, 9,016,000; poppy, 586,000; rape, 4,754,000; and til or 
 jinjili, 2,325,000, the total value of seeds exported being ^14,201,529. 
 
 Grain. — The area under the various food crops in Indi is 
 immense ; this can be readily understood when its vast vegeta ian 
 population of nearly 300,000,000 is considered. Rice has an 
 acreage of over 68,000,000, wheat 27,000,000, and the different 
 millets about 40,000,000 acres, and other food grains and pulses 
 nearly 50,000,000 acres. The export of wheat and pulse is mt 
 expanding, but there are indications of the beginnings of a large 
 trade in Indian wheat flour with Europe. With her cheap labour 
 it ought to be possible for India to successfully compete with 
 American and European millers. The total value of the grain and 
 pulse exported in 1894-95 was ^17,056,850. 
 
 Jute. — Practically nearly all the Indian jute is grown in the 
 province of Bengal, and this being the case the crop is a very 
 uncertain one — -depending entirely on the season in Bengal being 
 favourable, and this has caused the whole business to be a most

 Representing the combined attack, during the second Mysore

 troops and 60 guns, on Lieut-Colonel Baillie’s detachment 
 of 3,787 men and 10 guns, in its attempt to join the main 
 army under Sir Hector Munro, at Conjeveram. 
 
 In Baillie’s detachment, the killed (or dispersed) were 30 
 officers, 155 Europeans, 3,254 Natives. The wounded 
 were 41 officers, 242 Europeans. The unhurt were 24 officers, 
 41 Europeans. 
 
 The wounded and unhurt were sent as prisoners to Bangalore 
 or Seringapatam, where those who lived were detained for 
 three-and-a-half years, till the conclusion of peace in 1784. 
 Captain Baird, of the 73rd, was among the wounded prisoners, 
 and the bullet was extracted from his thigh six years after- 
 wards at Pondicherry. He led the assault in 1799 on 
 Seringapatam, the fortress from which he had been released 
 fifteen years previously. 
 
 Lieut-Colonel Baillie arrived in Seringapatam as a wounded 
 prisoner in irons on the 8th of March, 1781, and died there 
 on the 13th of November, 1782. His grave is close to 
 Hyder’s and Tippo’s, with a tablet over it, erected by

CEYLON. 
 
 Little, comparatively speaking, is known of the early history 
 of Ceylon, but about 600 years B.C. the ancestors of the Cingalese 
 people invaded Ceylon from Bengal, and speedily took possession 
 of the whole island, supplanting, or probably exterminating, the 
 original race, which is said to be represented by the few Veddahs 
 who inhabit the wilds of the Bintenne, although it is doubted by 
 many authorities whether these people are really descended from 
 the Antochtenes of Ceylon. 
 
 Shortly after the introduction of Buddhism into India, one of 
 the disciples of Gautama converted the Cingalese ; and Buddhism, 
 although it has disappeared from India, is still the national religion 
 of the Cingalese. The new inhabitants of Ceylon flourished until 
 about the 4th century A.D., and the remains of their civilisation, 
 their public works, and their architecture, are still to be found in 
 the ruins of Anuradhapura, the royal city. But, in the 5th 
 century, Ceylon was invaded by another Indian race from the 
 Malabar coast and the Deccan. These were termed Damilo, or 
 Tamils. For over 100 years the two races waged almost incessant 
 warfare, but, in the 6th century, Anuradhapura fell into the hands 
 of the Tamils. In the 12th century there was a re- action, but 
 it lasted for a very short time, and the Cingalese were gradually 
 driven to the Southern portions of the island, leaving the North 
 and the centre in the hands of their old enemies, the Tamils. 
 
 When the Portuguese first landed in Ceylon, which was in the 
 year 1522, the seat of the Cingalese Government was at Kandy, 
 but the North was in the possession of the Tamils, and the 
 Cingalese Sovereign had little power beyond the precincts of his 
 Court. The old irrigation works had fallen into decay, rice was 
 imported from India, and the ports of the island were in the hands 
 of a race of Muhommadans of uncertain origin, whose descendants 
 — termed by the Europeans Moormen — still have in their hands a 
 large proportion of the commerce of the island. The Portuguese 
 secured and held the factories around the coast, but never succeeded 
 in securing any hold upon the interior. There was incessant 
 fighting between them and the Cingalese, and the Portuguese 
 occupation was attended by great cruelty. They endeavoured to 
 convert the Cingalese to Catholicism, but were only successful in 
 a very limited degree, and almost the only monument which they 
 have left behind, after their 150 years of occupation, are the 
 Portuguese names still borne by many of the coast-dwelling 
 Cingalese.

 CEYLON. 
 
 The first Dutch ship arrived at Ceylon in 1602, hut it was not 
 until ten years later that the first Dutch fort was erected, and the 
 Portuguese did not finally evacuate Ceylon until 1658. The policy 
 of the Dutch was as peaceful as that of the Portuguese was 
 oppressive, but neither succeeded in subjugating the interior. 
 When, in 1796, the British flag first waved over Colombo, the 
 interior was still in the possession of the Kandians at the South and 
 the Tamils at the North. In those portions of the island where the 
 population had been the most dense there was an uninhabited 
 forest, which was maintained with great jealousy by the Kandian 
 kings as a defence against invaders from the coast. It was only 
 the coast and the lowlands which had ever been brought under the 
 influence of the Europeans. 
 
 Ceylon was finally ceded to England at the Peace of 
 Amiens in 1802. For some time the Government was administered 
 from Madras, but eventually a separate Government was set up, 
 and a systematic effort was made to get possession of the interior. 
 Various expeditions were fitted out, which met with more or less 
 success, and in 1815 Kandy was taken by the English, and the 
 interior of the island was solemnly annexed with the consent of 
 the principal Kandian chiefs. Two years afterwards, in 1817, the 
 country rose in arms, and there was a determined struggle between 
 the Kandians and the British troops. After a considerable loss of 
 life in warfare and by disease the revolt was suppressed, and the 
 British strengthened their position by the construction of roads 
 from the coast to the interior. Other attempts were made by the 
 Kandians, in 1834 and 1848, to shake off the British yoke, but 
 since that time the natives of Ceylon of all races have been 
 thoroughly loyal to the British rule, and at the present time there 
 is no disaffection whatever. The natives have the same rights as 
 the Europeans, public works of all sorts followed in the wake of 
 roads, a system of telegraphs is in existence all over the island, and 
 at present over 300 miles of railway are open. The first line was 
 from Colombo to Kandy, and extensions followed into the 
 mountain regions, where coffee-planting was rapidly extending, 
 and subsequently into the low country lying to the South. 
 
 Coffee had been cultivated to a small extent by the Dutch, 
 but it was not until 1824 that the first European coffee estate was 
 opened. From 1837 to 1840 there was a great rush into coffee, 
 and in 1873 the area under that plant attained its maximum. 
 About 1878 the coffee plant was attacked by disease, and in 1882 
 the annual export declined from 1,000,000 cwt. to about one- 
 fourth. The planters and their creditors seemed to be alike ruined, 
 and it appeared as if evil had fallen upon the Colony. The 
 planters behaved with great courage ; Liberian coffee was tried, 
 but with slight success. Cinchona was introduced, and saved 
 many from ruin. Finally, the planters turned their attention to

 tea, which has proved the salvation of Ceylon. At the present 
 time more than 300,000 acres are under this plant, and the exports 
 in 1894 were valued at 1146,103,214. 
 
 The Government of the country resembles in many respects 
 that of one of the Indian Presidencies, and the Legislature consists 
 partly of official as id partly of non-official members, there being eight 
 of the latter. Four native members represent more than three 
 millions of Asiatics, the 21,000 burghers — that is, persons of Euro- 
 pean descent, English, Dutch, and Portuguese — have one member, 
 and the Europeans are represented by three. Trial by jury has 
 been introduced, and the cases in the Courts are conducted either 
 in English, Cingalese, or Tamil, according to the nationality of 
 the litigants, or persons to be tried. 
 
 As regards Cingalese art, of which many specimens will be 
 found in the Exhibition, it must not be forgotten that in Ceylon, 
 as in other parts of the East, there never has been very much done 
 to encourage its improvement amongst the natives. The art 
 worker of Ceylon belongs, and always has belonged, to a distinct 
 and not very high caste. He did not work from religious inspira- 
 tion, nor could fame or fortune under any circumstances attend 
 his efforts. He was the servant of a great chief, and was 
 rewarded or punished according to his master’s pleasure. As was 
 well remarked by Mr. 8. M. Burrows, “The result of all this is 
 very obvious in the art work. Laborious detail without originality, 
 repetition without improvement, ignorance of the divisions 
 between the beautiful, the quaint, and the grotesque; prodigality 
 of labour in the slavish imitation of precedents without discrimi- 
 nation ; these are all plainly apparent, and, knowing the circum- 
 stances of the case, their absence would be far more remarkable 
 than their presence is. On the other hand, if some of their 
 models are unworthy, many are very beautiful, more especially 
 their scroll patterns, and the design into which the lotus enters. 
 And if their efforts to portray deities, demons, or humanity, come 
 too close to the border line between the curious and the hideous, it 
 must be remembered that this is partly due to the wild, prolific 
 polytheism of those Indian races from whom these designs 
 originally came.” The two metals most commonly worked in 
 nowadays are silver and brass. Good ivory carving is difficult to 
 obtain, owing to so few Cingalese elephants having tusks ; but 
 there is some very beautiful tortoise shell work. The pottery 
 ware is not generally very good, and the patterns of the lace 
 work, wffiich was introduced by the Portuguese, are mostly copies 
 from Maltese and Irish models.

 Buddha on account of such wholesale destruction of animals;

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. 
 
 Under this heading it is proposed to include not only 
 Singapore, Penang, and Malacca, but the various protected States, 
 the British Colony of Labuan, the territories of the Chartered 
 Company in North Borneo, and the protected States of Sarawak 
 and Brunei. British rule in this portion of the East commenced in 
 1786, when the East India Company purchased from the Rajah of 
 Kedah the Island of Penang and the strip of mainland called 
 Province Wellesley. Some time afterwards the East India Com- 
 pany got possession of the small Island of Singapore, at the 
 southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula, and this, being on the 
 high road to China and a free port, became a place of considerable 
 commercial importance. About 1843, a British subject, the late 
 Sir James Brooke, obtained a concession of territory, and was 
 recognised by the British Government as the hereditary ruler of 
 Sarawak, and, at the same time, the small Island of Labuan was 
 constituted a Crown Colony. Since that date British influence in 
 those seas has considerably extended ; piracy has been suppressed, 
 and the inhabitants of Malaya and the neighbouring islands have 
 begun to realise some of the advantages of civilisation. In 1867, 
 the Straits Settlements were constituted a Crown Colony, having 
 been up to that date under the jurisdiction of the Indian Govern- 
 ment. But it was not until 1873, under Lieut-General Sir Andrew 
 Clark, who was appointed Governor at that date, that any attempt 
 was made to bring the neighbouring States under our influence. 
 At that time the small States around Malacca were in a state of 
 ferment, if not of open fighting. The police stations of the Colony 
 itself were attacked, the house of a rich Perak chief was blown up 
 in the hope of destroying its owner, and every day peaceful 
 British subjects sailing through the Straits of Malacca were 
 murdered and their ships destroyed. Sir Andrew Clark took 
 advantage of a request from the Perak Rajah that he should help 
 him to obtain the position of Sultan, of which he had been 
 improperly deprived. He sent an experienced officer to make 
 enquiries ; that officer reported that the applicant was the de jure 
 Sultan, and, seeing the advisability of appointing a British officer 
 to reside in Malaya, he summoned the Perak chiefs to him and 
 made with them the Treaty of January 20th, 1874, by which Rajah 
 Abdullah was acknowledged to be Sultan of Perak, and provision 
 was made for the appointment of a British officer to be styled 
 British Resident, whose advice was to be asked and acted upon in 
 all matters other than those affecting the Mahommedan religion

 or Malay custom. This officer was also, by the treaty, entrusted 
 with the collection and expenditure of all the State Revenues . 
 The first gentleman to hold this position was Mr. J. W. W. Birch, 
 the Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settlements. He was a man 
 of ability and energy, but he did not speak Malay, or understand 
 the people with whom he had to deal. He was murdered in 
 November, 1875, to satisfy the hatred of foreign interference and 
 intolerance of European control. His death was very amply 
 revenged, and none of his actual murderers escaped. 
 
 No sooner had the Perak difficulty been solved than Sir 
 Andrew Clark placed British Residents at Selangor and Sungei 
 Ujong. The Colony of Labuan was not not so successful as was 
 anticipated, and when, in 1878, the Sultan of Brunei, with the 
 sanction of the Sultan of Sulu, handed over a large tract of 
 land in North Borneo to Mr. Alfred Dent and Baron von Overbeck, 
 it was arranged that the North Borneo Company, to which those 
 gentlemen transferred their concession, should also have jurisdiction 
 over the Island of Labuan. Shortly afterwards Brunei and 
 Sarawak became protected States, and the position of Great Britain 
 towards these is somewhat analogous to that of the jurisdiction 
 over the Transvaal, that is to say, each has perfect control over all 
 their internal affairs except Labuan, which, for most purposes, is 
 still a British Colony, while the whole of their foreign affairs are 
 administered through the British Colonial Office. The various 
 protected States are more directly under British rule, although 
 the local Rajahs have control over all purely internal affairs. The 
 result of British modes of government being introduced into these 
 protected States has been extremely beneficial. In Perak, Selangor, 
 and Sungei Ujong, the revenue, which in 1875 was only $309,239, 
 had in 1894 attained $7,250,000, and the expenditure from 
 $436,872 to $6,750,000. In 1890 two other States, Negrisembilan 
 and Pahang became protected, and there is no reason to doubt that 
 they will become just as prosperous as the three others. The 
 Sultan of Johore placed his foreign relations in the hands of this 
 country, and agreed to receive a British agent. 
 
 The great sources of revenue are an export duty of twelve per 
 cent upon tin, of which five-sixths of the world’s production is 
 raised in the Malay Peninsula, a heavy duty upon opium, a land- 
 tax, and some considerable sums from railway receipts. The Straits 
 Settlements are a Crown Colony with a Governor and Executive 
 Council, and a Legislative Council presided over by the Governor 
 and composed of ten official and seven unofficial members, five 
 nominated by the Crown and two nominated by the Chambers 
 of Commerce of Singapore and Penang, but confirmed by the 
 Crown, 
 
STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.

 Singapore has an area of 206 square miles ; Penang, 107 square 
 miles ; the Province Wellesley, 270 ; Malacca, 650 ; Perak, 10,000 ; 
 Selangor, 3,000; Sungei Ujong, 1,200 Negri sembilan, 1,800; 
 Jahore, 9,000; Pahang, 1,000. Total population in 1891 was: 
 British Settlements proper, 213,473 Malays, 227,989 Chinese, and 
 53,927 natives of India. The population of the Native States : 
 Perak, 214,254; Selangor, 81,592; Sungei Ujong, 23,602; Pahang, 
 24,672 ; N egrisembilan ,41,617. The revenue in 1894 was $3,904,774, 
 and the expenditure $3,714,620. Education is partly supported by 
 the Government. In the settlements proper the Indian Penal 
 Code, with slight alterations, has been adopted, and there is a 
 Civil Procedure Code based on the English Judicature Acts. The 
 Supreme Court holds assizes at Singapore and Penang every two 
 months, and at Malacca quarterly. Civil sittings are held once a 
 month at Singapore and Penang, and once a quarter at Malacca. 
 There are, in addition, Police and Magistrates’ Courts, and a 
 Police Force of 1,900, of whom about seventy-five are Europeans. 
 
 The Harbour of Singapore is strongly fortified. A battalion 
 of infantry, two batteries of artillery, and half a company of 
 engineers are permanently stationed there, and the Colony main- 
 tains an armed police force consisting of thirty-five officers and 
 over 1,900 men. 
 
 The articles produced in the Straits territory are gambier in 
 Singapore, pepper in Singapore and Province Wellesley, tapioca 
 and rice in Singapore and Province Wellesley, and sugar in the 
 latter. Liberian coffee is successfully cultivated in Perak, 
 Selangor, Sungei Ujong, Negrisembilan, Pahang, and Jahore, and 
 tobacco in Sungei Ujong and Negrisembilan. In 1894 the export 
 of tin from Perak amounted to 25,552 tons, from Selangor 22,341 
 tons, and from Sungei Ujong about 2,800 tons. Gold is found in 
 various portions of Malaya. The Straits ports are wholly free 
 from duties on exports and imports, and their trade, with the 
 exception of Singapore, is, to a large extent, a transit trade. The 
 ports of the protected Malay States are also free except as to 
 opium and spirits. The most important exports in 1894 were : 
 tin, valued at $32,913,105; spices, $9,341,481; gambier, $6,939,351; 
 gums, $6,474,765 ; tobacco, $2,440,055 ; rattans, $2,859,812. The 
 value of the imports was about $55, 000,000. The trade of the 
 Native States was : imports, Perak, $9,262,396 ; Selangor, 
 
 $12,925,602; Sungei Ujong, $193,056. The trade with the United 
 Kingdom was, in 1894: imports into the United Kingdom from the 
 Straits, £4,584,783 ; exports of British products to the Straits, 
 £2,331,656. The total number of vessels entering in 1894 was : 
 foreign ships, 8,567, with a tonnage of 5,534,761 tons, and native 
 craft 12,971, with a tonnage of 391,064 tons.

 There are no railways in Singapore itself, and m Penang only 
 a tramway, but in the Protected States there are 153 miles of 
 railway open and twenty- eight in course of construction. 
 
 In British North Borneo about one million acres of land have 
 been rented by the Government on lease of 999 years for tobacco 
 planting, pepper, coffee, and other products ; and there are thirteen 
 tobacco estates. The area is 31,106 square miles, with a coast line 
 of over 900 miles ; and a population of 175,000, consisting of a 
 number of Maliommedan settlers, some Chinese traders and 
 artisans, and a few Europeans. The chief town is Sundakan, on 
 the East Coast. The revenue in 1894 was $315,591, and the 
 expenditure $287,494. The exports were $1,698,543, and the 
 imports $1,320,267. The expenditure on salaries in the Colony is 
 about 20,000 a year, and arises from the duties on opium and 
 spirits, edible birds’ nests, and Court fees. The chief products are 
 timber, sago, rice, gums, coffee, pepper, gambier, gutta-percha, 
 sweet potatoes, and tobacco. Coal and gold have been found. 
 The exports comprise bees’ wax, edible birds’ nests, cocoanuts, 
 gutta-percha, sago, tobacco, rattans, indiarubber, seed pearls, and 
 beche de mer. The exports of leaf tobacco in 1894 were valued at 
 $273,625. The Government issues its own copper coinage, cents 
 and half- cents, and notes of 1, 5, 10, and 20 dollars. North 
 Borneo is now connected by cable with the outer world, and has a 
 military force of 315 men and European officers. 
 
 The area of Brunei, which is under a Sultan, is about 3,000 
 square miles. The present Bajah, of Sarawak, Sir Charles Johnson 
 Brooke, succeeded in 1868. The population of the state is about 
 300,000. Coal exists in large quantities, as well as gold, silver, 
 diamonds, antimony, and quicksilver.

 Small as is the area of this Colony — only 29 square miles— 
 it is extremely important, politically, commercially, and militarily, 
 since the island, which is separated from the mainland of China by 
 a narrow strait not more than half-a-mile in width, is so con- 
 venient to the entrance of the River Canton, that it has become 
 one of the largest commercial shipping centres in the East. The 
 island was ceded to Great Britain in 1841, and the opposite penin- 
 sula, Kooloon, was ceded to Great Britain in 1861. The total 
 population in 1891 was 157,485 males and 63,956 females, total 
 221,441. In 1894, 4,225 vessels of 5,233,146 tons entered the 
 port, besides 23,023 junks of 1,742,069 tons. The imports into 
 Great Britain from Hong-Kong in 1894 amounted to 634,818, and 
 the exports of British products to Hong-Kong in the same year 
 were 1,803,623. The revenue in 1892 was $2,138,228, and the 
 expenditure $2,228,592. The European population in 1891 was 
 7,990, of whom about half are Portuguese and one-third English. 
 The Colony, which has been called the Gibraltar of the East, con- 
 sists entirely of a chain of hills, varying from one thousand to two 
 thousand feet in height. The peninsula of Kooloon on the main- 
 land consists, like the island, of barren precipitous hills runni ug 
 almost to the water’s edge. Communication between the two is kept 
 up by Chinese ferry-boats and steam-launches. The city is well 
 built, and contains some fine public buildings. The greater portion 
 of the population consists of Chinese, of whom there are 2,110,955, 
 and the government and management of these people have caused 
 a great deal of trouble to the local authorities, and necessitated 
 the employment of a large police force, which consists of about 
 750 men, some of whom are European. Probably the worst thing 
 about Hong-Kong is its climate. During the winter months it 
 is extremely bracing, but in March and April everything is 
 shrouded in mist and moisture. The rains and heat of May, June, 
 July, and August are almost unendurable, and September is 
 extremely stormy. The rainfall for the year averages about 
 84 inches, nearly the whole of which falls in the summer months, 
 and occasionally from 8 to 10 inches in a single day. It may be 
 marked as a very gratifying feature that the relations between the 
 local government of Hong-Kong and the Chinese authorities at 
 Canton are generally extremely good. Assistance is given by the 
 latter in the difficult task of keeping good order amongst the large 
 number of Chinese, many of these belonging to the criminal 
 classes, to whom Hong-Kong is a city of refuge. And these 
 friendly relations have not been interfered with even at the time 
 when China was at war either with Japan or some European 
 power. The products and manufactures of Hong-Kong differ very 
 little from the adjoining mainland, excepting that there are some 
 manufactures of rope and glass.

MAURITIUS. 
 
 This island, with its dependencies, the Seychelles, Rodriques, 
 and the Chagos Islands, lies in the Indian Ocean, and has a total 
 area of 705 square miles. The population of Mauritius in 1891 was 
 207,103 males and 164,552 females; total, 371,655. Over two- 
 thirds of the population are Indian, and the remainder consists of 
 Africans, Chinese, mixed races, and whites. The population of 
 the capital, Port Louis, was, in 1891, 58,244. The imports in 1894 
 amounted to R2 1,096, Oil, and the exports Rl, 2 28, 6 19. The 
 principal export is, of course, unrefined sugar, which is valued at 
 R28,461,564. There are also small exports of rum, vanilla, and 
 aloe. The population of Seychelles was 16,440, of Rodriques 
 2,088, and of Diego Garcia, the largest of the Chagos group, 700. 
 The revenue in 1894 was R8, 534, 42 7, and the expenditure 
 R8, 58 7,039. 
 
 The government of the island is vested in a Governor and 
 Executive Council, the Legislature consisting of the Governor and 
 twenty-seven members, of whom ten are elected, eight officials, 
 and nine nominated by the Government. The Colony has two 
 lines of railway with two branches, with a total length of 105 
 miles. Mauritius was discovered in 1507 by Dom Pedro Masca- 
 renhas, a Portuguese ; but the first people who occupied it were 
 the Dutch, in 1598, when they named it Mauritius after their 
 Prince, Maurice. They did not attempt permanent occupation till 
 1644, when they established three separate settlements and 
 colonised the island with a view to suppressing piracy. But the 
 Dutch East India Company found that the island caused incessant 
 trouble, and they abandoned it in 1710. The French took posses- 
 sion of it in 1715, and changed the name to lie de France . It was 
 subsequently handed over to the Dutch East India Company, and 
 finally reverted to the French Crown in 1767. In 1810 it was 
 captured by an expedition despatched by the East India Company 
 under General Abercrombie, and four years later possession of the 
 island was confirmed to England by the Treaty of Paris. By the 
 terms of this capitulation the inhabitants were permitted to retain 
 their laws, religion, and institutions, and these conditions have 
 been faithfully observed. The existing laws are based upon the 
 Code Napoleon, and State aid is given to the Roman Catholic 
 Church to a much larger extent than to the Church of England.

 the language most in use amongst the educated classes, whilst the

 Queen of the last King of Delhi, from whom it came into the 
 possession of the present owner.

 The Shan States, under British rule, form the Easternmost 
 [portion of our Burmese possessions, and cover most of the hill 
 [country lying between the Irawadi on the west, and the Mekong on 
 the east, bounded roughly on the south and north by the 19th 
 and 24th parallels of latitude. These hills are a series of 
 plateaux to the west of the Salween, but to the east the country 
 is much more rugged. The Shans inhabit the flat country, the 
 alluvial basins, and upland valleys; the more hilly portions being 
 occupied by an immense variety of hill-tribes of Chinese or semi- 
 Chinese origin, each having its own language, dress, manners, and 
 customs. 
 
 The Shans are fairly civilised, and are Buddhists, though their 
 religion is tinged with the spirit-worship of the hill-tribes, with w hom 
 they are brought into such close contact. They are very widely 
 diffused, and one of the most numerous of the Indo-Chinese races. 
 They lap the Burmese round from the north-west, and are found from 
 the borders of Manipur to the heart of Yaman, and from the valley of 
 Assam to Bangkok and Cambodia: their language being everywhere

 the same, with little variation. They are a happy and contented 
 people ; they satisfy their wants without too much labour, and have 
 leisure to enjoy their many religious festivals. The Sawhwas (rulers) 
 of the various districts keep up a certain amount of state, dress well, 
 and have many attendants who carry gold umbrellas, cheroots in 
 handsome boxes, or tied up in handkerchiefs, pan for chewing 
 pickled tea, etc. Their wives also dress well, are fond of jewellery, 
 and are attended by pretty little girls who carry their fans, handker- 
 chiefs, etc., and keep the big cheroots, which they affect, alight for 
 their mistresses at intervals, while they chat. The priests everywhere 
 wear the yellow robes ; in Burma and the Western Shan States they 
 shave their heads, but in the East they are less orthodox and wear 
 their hair long, and sometimes allow whiskers and moustache to 
 grow also. 
 
 Among the hill tribes we have Muhsos, Raws, Kuis Miaos, 
 Taungthies, Yang Secs, Yang Lam, Yaw Yuis, and others. 
 
 The Muhso is a largely scattered tribe. They came originally 
 from China, and many are still to be found there. There are two 
 great sub-divisions of Muhsos, the red and the black, these terms 
 referring to a difference in dress. In both the general colour is dark 
 blue, nearly black ; but the sleeves of the jackets and legs of the 
 trousers of the red Muhso men are ornamented with red and white 
 rings. 
 
 The Kaws are also widely diffused. The women’s dress is 
 peculiar, with its short kilt and sparrow-like girdle, tall bamboo hat, 
 and strings of seeds and beads. 
 
 The Miao is a Chinese hill-tribe, scattered over the hills to the east 
 of the Mekong, comparatively few being found on our side of that 
 river. The women’s dress is, perhaps, the prettiest of all the tribes, 
 with its full skirt, and jacket with embroidered sailor collar.

 A Collection of Kashmir and Indian Silk. 
 
 Collected by Mr. Thomas War die, President of the Silk Association 
 
 of Great Britain . 
 
 The most important object in this interesting case is a magnificent 
 brocade made for Her Majesty the Queen and Empress, who has 
 always taken the greatest interest in the development and prosperity 
 of the British silk trade, and the growth of silk in India. The lengths 
 were made from silk grown in Kashmir, and the design, copies of 
 which have been worn by several members of the Royal Family, is 
 copied from that of a sedan chair used on state occasions by their 
 Majesties King George III and Queen Charlotte. 
 
 The gracious permission given by Her Majesty that the design, 
 which is her private property, should be exhibited, affords another 
 proof of the lively interest taken by the Queen and Empress in 
 all that concerns the welfare of her Indian possessions and the 
 Feudatory States,

 GENERAL COLLECTION. 
 
 Indian Silk:. 
 
 The special object of these exhibits is to show the public the 
 sericicultural capabilities of our Indian dependencies, particularly 
 those of Bengal and Kashmir. 
 
 The province of Bengal has long supplied Europe with excellent 
 silk for some special purposes, and is held in high esteem for light 
 fabrics, sewing silks, hat-plush, etc. 
 
 It has considerable elasticity, and when dyed possesses much 
 lustre. The silkworms which produce the silk of Bengal are not the 
 univoltine Bombyx viori species of Italy, China, and Japan, but a 
 smaller species. They are multivoltine, producing several crops of 
 cocoons each year. The principal kinds are Bombyx fortunatus and 
 Bombyx crcesi . 
 
 For some years prior to 1886, Bengal silk had lost much of its 
 old reputation, but in consequence of the improvement which has 
 taken place in the reeling of the cocoons and attention to healthy 
 silkworm breeding, it has again risen in favour, and is now in 
 considerable demand, with the promise of an excellent future ; in fact, 
 an application has recently been forwarded to the Government of 
 India for an increased supply. A large quantity of this silk, known 
 as Corah, is imported in the undyed state into Europe from the 
 districts around Murshidabad, the ancient capital of Bengal, where 
 it has for ages been woven both for native uses and for export. 
 
 Kashmir Silk. 
 
 The claims of Kashmir as an exporter of silk are quite recent. 
 
 On the establishment of a sericicultural laboratory in Bengal in 
 1888 for teaching and assisting the natives in the cultivation of the 
 mulberry, the breeding of silkworms, and especially in the prevention 
 of pebrine and other silkworm diseases, as well as in the successful 
 reeling of cocoons, as at the. French and Italian Government Institu- 
 tions of Montpellier and Padua ; it was suggested to the Government 
 to extend this effort to Kashmir, and under the direction of Sir E. C. 
 Buck, secretary to the Government of India, Mr. N. G. Mukerji, 
 who had studied sericiculture in France and Italy, was sent to 
 Kashmir for the purpose. 
 
 In 1889, Colonel Nisbet, who had been appointed Commissioner 
 in Kashmir, reported an abudance of mulberry trees and silk. 
 
 In 1894, some specimens of cocoons and raw silk were sent over 
 to Mr. Wardle, president of the Silk Association of Great Britain 
 and Ireland, who reported on them as worthy of industrial attention, 
 and recommended an experimental effort on a sufficiently practical 
 scale to test the silk for commercial purposes. Under the able and 
 sympathetic superintendence of Mr. Walter R. Lawrence, the present 
 Commissioner of Kashmir, this has been done, and last year several

 thousand pounds of raw silk were sent over to the India Office for 
 examination and sale. Mr. Wardle, after examination, sent in a 
 very favourable report of the silk, and it was then offered to the 
 trade. 
 
 There were three qualities — first, second, and third. The first 
 realised 13s. per lb., the second and third us., as against 10s. for 
 Bengal silk. The Kashmir silk was the produce of imported Italian 
 eggs, and its higher value is thus accounted for. 
 
 In quality of fibre it is quite equal to Italian silk, and only needs 
 improved cocoon-reeling appliances and more skill in manipulating it 
 to raise it to the value of the silk of Italy, the value of which is to-day 
 from 14s. to 16s. per lb. 
 
 Mr. Wardle recommended that portions of this silk should be 
 shown at this Exhibition both in the raw and manufactured states. 
 This suggestion met with the concurrence of the Government of India 
 and the directors of the Empire of India Exhibition. For that 
 purpose the following well-known houses have willingly responded to 
 an invitation to provide specimens of their respective manufactures : — 
 Messrs. Warner and Sons, of Spitalfields and Braintree, have manu- 
 factured from this silk some beautiful brocades and figured stuffs ; 
 Messrs. Pearsall and Co., of London, some excellent embroidering 
 silks; Messrs. A. J. Worthington and Co., of Leek and London, a 
 beautiful case of sewing silks ; Mr. Thomas Wardle, of Leek, both 
 surface and warp printed silks. Messrs. Henckell, DuBoisson and 
 Co., London, who purchased the raw silk, have kindly lent specimens 
 of each quality in the raw state as imported. 
 
 The silks have all been dyed by Messrs. Joshua Wardle and 
 Sons, of Leek. 
 
 From these examples it will be well seen the suitability of 
 Kashmir for the production of silk of the highest qualities for the 
 European market. Mr. Wardle remarked in his report to the 
 Secretary of State for India in October last: — “The result of my 
 examination convinces me that the silk of Kashmir is of as high a 
 quality physically as any silk from any other part of the world, and 
 that an important future is in store for Kashmir for a great serici- 
 cultural output. I am more than satisfied with the absolute suita- 
 bility of Kashmir, in a climatic sense, for the production of silk of 
 superior strength, roundness of fibre, and freedom from structural 
 defects.” 
 
 On March, 26th, 1896, Mr. W. R. Lawrence read a most important 
 and highly interesting paper at the Imperial, Institute on Kashmir, 
 which was followed by an important discussion. The report is 
 printed in the Journal of the Society of Arts of the 10th April, 1896 
 from which we reprint the following parts relating to silk : — 
 
 “ But our great hope lies in sericiculture. Silk is an ancient 
 industry in Kashmir, and it is probable that the valley was a 
 producer of the old Bactrian silk which found its way to 
 Damascus and other centres of manufacture. But evil days 
 
 k 2

 befell silk, and in 1878 disease obliterated the industry. In 
 1889, when I first went to Kashmir, it was decided, on the 
 advice of Sir Edward Buck, C.S.I., to rehabilitate sericiculture, 
 and to stamp out disease by following - the Pasteur system of 
 microscopical examination. For the first two years it was 
 difficult and disappointing. A native with a microscope is a 
 most uncertain combination. But eventually we succeeded, 
 and a few weeks ago the first Kashmir silk found a sale in 
 London. As regards its quality, experts can speak. I can 
 only say that, being an amateur, I have advised the State not 
 to incur expense on improved reeling appliances, and my object 
 has been to make sericiculture pay its expenses, and to demon- 
 strate that good silk could be raised in Kashmir. I can give 
 you no good idea of the wealth of mulberry trees that are 
 wasting and waiting for the silkworm. I can only say 
 that European capitalists will find in Kashmir the elements 
 which contribute to successful sericiculture. The Kashmiri 
 house is eminently adapted for the rearing of silkworms ; there 
 is abundance of skilled labour in the presence of the “Kirm 
 kash,” or worm destroyers, families with an hereditary con- 
 nection with silk ; and, above all, there is an endless supply of 
 mulberry leaf.” 
 
 In the discussion which followed, Mr. Wardle stated he had been 
 honoured by a request from the Secretary of State for India to make 
 an examination of the results of the large practical experiment of 
 Mr. Lawrence in silk culture in Kashmir — between 2,000 lbs. and 
 3,000 lbs. of raw silk having been produced and sent to the India 
 Office for examination — and he was very glad to report that the 
 physical properties of the silk were not inferior to those of Italy, and 
 that with a little better reeling from the cocoon it would in all 
 respects be quite equal to it. He was quite sure there was a very 
 great future indeed for Kashmir in silk producing ; and he could 
 thoroughly recommend young men of capital and enterprise to 
 qualify themselves in sericiculture and go out to Kashmir and seek 
 their fortunes. On the previous day, Mr. Geoffrey Millais had 
 shown him several sketches he had made in Kashmir, which showed 
 plainly how the mulberry tree abounded there ; and Colonel Nisbet, 
 who was there some years ago, and with whom he had corresponded 
 at the time, informed him that the cocoons of the Bombyx mori were 
 found in a wild state in sufficient quantities, that it paid the poor 
 people to collect them, and even to pay a small royalty for the 
 privilege. The question was now having the attention of the 
 Kashmir State, and the Maharaja and Mr. Lawrence might be con- 
 gratulated on the success they had already attained. He had 
 brought with him samples of this silk in three qualities, which 
 he would hand round for inspection, and he had also a piece of 
 brocade made from Kashmir silk for the Stafford House Exhibition, 
 held in May, 1894, which had been shown to the Queen, who was 
 greatly interested in it. As Sir George Birdwood had mentioned 
 Cyprus, he might add that Mr. Chamberlain had done him the 
 honour to ask him to examine a series of Cyprus cocoons which had 
 lately been sent by the High Commissioner, Sir Walter Sendall, with

 the result that he had found the fibre stronger than any others he had 
 ever examined, and that this silk for strength, tenacity, and thickness 
 of ultimate fibre had not its equal in any part of the world. That of 
 Kashmir, though not quite so strong, compared very favourably with 
 it, and with that of France and Italy. With proper attention to 
 reeling and security of contract there was no reason why sericiculture 
 should not be so developed in Kashmir as to make us less dependent 
 both upon China and Japan, as we should also be of Italy when the 
 Cyprus silk industry became re-established. There was a very great 
 future for both countries in this and other respects, and he thought 
 the time would come, and before long, when English people would be 
 wearing silk made in our own colonies and dependencies, in pre- 
 ference to that cultivated in other countries.

ADVANTAGES OFFERED TO SEASON 
 
 TICKET HOLDERS. 
 
 EARLS COURT ART UNION. 
 
 Season Tickets can now be obtained at the company’s Offices, 
 Exhibition Buildings, Earl’s Court, S.W. 
 
 Season Tickets are not transferable, and will be issued subject to 
 the ordinary conditions at 10/6 each. They will admit to the Exhibi- 
 tion and Grounds on all occasions when they are open to the public 
 during the Exhibition Season of 1896, and will, in addition, carry the 
 following privilege : — 
 
 Each Season Ticket entitles the holder to participate in the 
 First Annual Prize Drawing of The Earl’s Court Art Union, 
 established by the authority and under the sanction of the Board 
 of Trade. 
 
 ADVANTAGES OF PURCHASING A ios. 6d. SEASON 
 
 TICKET. 
 
 The Prizes will be Valuable Works of Art, consisting of Pictures 
 in Oils and Water-colours, Statuary, Porcelain, Pottery, Bronzes, 
 Silverware, Engravings, Photographs, and other artistic products. 
 
 The Directors pledge themselves to set aside a sum of Fifteen per 
 cent, of the gross amount realised by the sale of Season Tickets for the 
 purchase of Works of Art exhibited in the Exhibition. In December 
 next a drawing will be held, in which Season Ticket Holders only will 
 be entitled to participate. 
 
 The awards will be distributed according to the following scale,

 This shows a distribution equal to one Prize amongst every 
 Thirty-one Season Ticket Holders. 
 
The Directors have introduced this important element with the 
 two-fold object of giving exceptional advantages to Season Ticket 
 Holders, and in the interests of Exhibitors and Artists by securing for 
 them a large and important sale of their works, thus rendering tangible 
 assistance to the cause of Art. 
 
 ADVANTAGES TO ARTISTS AND EXHIBITORS. 
 
 Its advantages will be apparent from the fact that every subscriber 
 of 10/6, instead of receiving (as is usual under the ordinary system of 
 Art Unions) an engraving or some other form of Art workmanship, 
 necessarily rendered common-place by reason of its extensive multi- 
 plication, and which in point of intrinsic value bears little comparison 
 with the amount subscribed, will, in addition to receiving the full 
 value of his subscription in the shape of a Season Ticket for the 
 Exhibition, participate in the Annual Prize Drawing. 
 
 The Works of Art and Prizes will be selected by the Managing 
 Committee of the Art Union, who, from their connection with the 
 Exhibition, will possess exceptional facilities for purchasing at reason- 
 able prices.

 Panorama of Ancient Rome. 
 
 This magnificent painting — 50 ft. high, 394 ft. in circumference, and 
 covering 1938 square feet of canvas —represents the Eternal City as it 
 appeared in 312 ad., when the victorious Constantine made his 
 triumphal entry through her gates. It is considered by all who have seen 
 it as being the most remarkable work of the kind ever put on view. 
 
 The New Rontgen X Rays. 
 
 The Greatest Discovery of the Age. Penetrating flesh, wood, stone, 
 &c., and rendering the skeleton absolutely visible. 
 
 The Theatrograph. 
 
 In the Western Gardens. 
 
 Living Photographs in Colours. The Latest Sensation. I 
 
 Cingalese Artists. 
 
 In the Cingalese Theatre, Indian City. 
 
 A troupe of Native Devil Dancers, Musicians, Tamil Actors, and 
 Nautch Girls will give performances of a refined and interesting nature. 
 
 Indian Performers 
 
 Will be seen in the Indian Mahal. 
 
 They include a wonderful Contortionist, a Native Club Swinger, 
 Nautch Dancers, Singers, and Acrobats, and their performances are novel 
 and unique. 
 
 Indian Jungle. 
 
 Mr. Rowland Ward wall show in his reconstructed Jungle thousands 
 of specimens of Beast, Bird, Reptile, and Insect life, arranged and 
 grouped in a life-like manner. This is the largest collection of Indian 
 animals and birds ever seen. 
 
10 
 
 The Cingalese Palaee. 
 
 In Elysia. 
 
 Here will be found a great number of Native Artists, who give a 
 peculiarly fascinating entertainment, embracing characteristic Singing, 
 Dancing, juggling, and Sleight of Hand. 
 
 The Burmese Theatre 
 
 Is this year located in Elysia. The Company is very large, and play 
 an interesting game of Burmese Football on the stage, among many 
 other quaint and curious Burmese games and diversions. 
 
 Nirvana. The Temple of Transmigration. 
 
 In a new Theatre near the Great Wheel, is an Illusionary Show 
 demonstrating the Brahmin's belief in the Transmigration of the Human 
 Soul. The development of the soul is seen through its different 
 forms from human to Angelic, and is an interesting study of the 
 religious belief of millions of the peoples of the East. 
 
 The Menagerie. 
 
 In the Menagerie, near the Great Wheel, is a large collection of 
 wild and performing animals. It is intended that the Menagerie shall 
 be kept constantly supplied with all the curiosities of the animal 
 kingdom which are likely to be of interest to patrons. 
 
 The Chitral Rifle Ranges. 
 
 These excellent ranges are situated near the Great Wheel, and Rifle- 
 Shooting, as it is in the Jungle, may be indulged in either at stationary, 
 electrical, or moving Targets. 
 
 The Electrophone, 
 
 In the Western Gardens, has been very largely patronised in the 
 Evenings and on Saturday Matinees. Connection exists between it and 
 fifteen London Theatres, besides a number of the leading Provincial 
 places of amusement. The Electrophone Entertainment has this year 
 been greatly improved and enlarged.
