The present Exhibition, which is the fourth of the series given by the London Exhibitions, Limited, at Earl’s Court, “ has,” says Truth , of May 11th : — “ The best possible raison d'etre. It is a place of amusement, and amusement is what it provides — in practically inexhaustible quantities, and for every variety of taste. To my taste — and to that apparently of many hundreds of thousands of my fellow- citizens — the most precious of all these amusements is that of sitting with a cigarette in the open air and doing nothing, to the accompaniment of the best of bands, with a waiter somewhere at hand ready to take your order, if you feel disposed to give it, and with an endless procession of your fellow creatures of all ages, sorts, and conditions passing before you as food for observation and reflection. Till within the last few years the lack of this particular form of amusement has spoiled London for pleasure purposes, and made the most conspicuous distinction between life here and on the Continent. The idea had gradually grown up that in this respect we are differently constituted from our European neighbours ; that the life of Parisian boulevard or the German beer-garden was incompatible with the British climate or the British temperament, or some other occult influence. This was an utter delusion, as a very slight acquaintance with the habits of our ancestors before the Victorian era would have shown. The delusion is now dispelled. The success of the ‘ Fisheries ’ and subsequent exhibitions at South Kensington first undermined it, and the subsequent growth of the Earl’s Court undertaking, and the imitations of it in 12 other quarters, have shown that the London public are just as delighted to sit about and listen to music in a public garden as the inhabitants of any town in the Fatherland. Nor is this taste confined to any one class. One of the pleasantest features of the Earl’s Court show is its frankly democratic character. You see the smartest elements of West End society rubbing shoulders with the proletariat, and all parties apparently well satisfied with their company. This alone is an achievement of which the promoters have a right to be proud. “ Do not, however, let me do these worthy gentlemen the injustice of suggesting, even unintentionally, that there is no amusement at Earl’s Court but to sit and listen to the band. It has not been so hitherto, and it certainly is not so this year. On the contrary, the entertainments and side shows have increased and multiplied. The Naval Display in particular is a novelty of extraordinary cleverness and interest, calculated to make the heart of the Jingo leap for joy, and even to make a Little Englander hum his ‘ Rule Britannia.’ There are American midgets and Hungarian minstrels, a panorama, and a realistic Alpine excursion, baby incubators and electrophones, a captive balloon for those who cannot get high enough in the Great Wheel, and ’rickshaws drawn by live Japs to provide a new sensation for those who prefer locomotion on terra finna. In a word, you have here all the fun of the Greenwich or Bartholomew Fairs of the olden time, before ruffianism captured and destroyed them, and when all classes patronised them as freely as they patronise Earl’s Court to-day.” The International Universal Exhibition, as its title implies, is intended to illustrate the inventions, industries, manufactures, and applied arts of to-day. The various foreign countries are repre- sented in their respective sections, and the exhibits therein contained are described in another part of this Guide. Entering the Exhibition Buildings at the WARWICK ROAD ENTRANCE, wo are immediately confronted with the Prince’s Hall, devoted to the Transport Section. 13 PRINCE’S HALL. The New Palace Steamers here exhibit beautiful models of the popular “ La Marguerite ” and the “ Koh-i-noor,” and Messrs. Donald Currie and Co. a model of the “ Tantallon Castle,” belonging to the Castle Line of Steamers, together with another of the “ Norham Castle.” Messrs. John Dewar and Sons, Ltd., Distillers, are represented with “The House of the Fair Maid of Perth”; The Union Steamship Co., Ltd., with models of “The Scot” and their latest boat “ The Briton,” also exterior and interior views of the steamships ; and Messrs. J. S. Brown and Sons, Damask and Linen Goods. Exhibits from Russia and Sweden are shown here by Mr. A. Macchi. THE BELGIAN SECTION, the Commissioner for which is Mons. Y. Jacques. This section occupies the whole of the DUCAL HALL, and cannot fail to be interesting. The exhibits are numerous, elaborate, and thoroughly in accordance with the original scheme formulated by the Commissioner. Among other exhibitors we have the Department of Railways, Posts, and Telegraphs of the Belgian Government, whilst various towns, represented by their respective Burgomasters, have sent unique displays. A few of the exhibits, worthy of special attention, are those of John Cockerill, Ltd., Jean Michotte, Edouard Hennig, J. & A. Jaspar, J. Persenaire, Beckers, Son, & Co., De Behr & Waefelaer, Leopold Raes, Adolphe Houghebaert, Syndicat Agricole de Verviers, &c. Here, also, is to be seen one of the Electric Carriages which runs on the railroad beneath the Thames. After an object lesson in Belgian Arts and Manufactures, we emerge from the Ducal Hall into the Queen’s Court and Jubilee Gardens, whence “ EXCELSIOR,” the Monster Captive Balloon, ascends. Messrs. Spencers, the well- 14 known aeronauts and balloon manufacturers, exploit the new captive balloon, which is a specimen of the most finished and complete kind. The art of aerial travel is here demonstrated, fully, and at frequent intervals, during the day, providing, of course, that the weather is propitious. A few particulars of the material used in the construction will be worthy of notice. Seven thousand superficial feet of the finest balloon fabric were employed in making the balloon. This is covered with a net-work of Italian hemp cordage having a combined tensile strength equal to a strain of ten tons, and supports a handsomely appointed car to accommodate parties of six to eight persons, who may desire to take an aerial trip. A powerful steel cable is used to tether the balloon, which is controlled by a steam engine of 12 horse power, having a winding drum of sufficient dimensions to contain the 1,000 feet of captive rope, to which height the balloon will be permitted to soar. As in the case of the Gigantic Wheel, a splendid view can be obtained, the various points ot interest will be indicated by the manipulator. THE QUEEN’S COURT AND THE LAKE. The Queen’s Court has been greatly embellished by several archi- tectural additions, new scenery and decorations. The lake has been surrounded by an entirely new scheme of illuminations. For the pleasure of those enjoying a trip in the electric boats, and the general public promenading in the Court, a very handsome Music Pavilion has been erected on the terrace, and adds greatly to the charm of the Queen’s Court. The decorations, enriched by a mass of beautiful palms, flowering plants, flags, banners, and garlands, give this place a very festive aspect. The gardens have been charmingly planted and laid out by Mr. J. Laing, of Forest Hill, S.E. On our left, is THE QUEEN’S PALACE AND FLORAL LOUNGE. A welcome addition to the permanent buildings of the Exhibition will be found in the Grand Floral Lounge, which has been arranged especially to meet the requirements of visitors who prefer to spend the cool of the afternoon and evening within doors. In this handsome 15 building, ample accommodation is provided for all comers, should the weather not permit out-door amusement. The Floral Lounge, which is embellished with thousands of ferns and plants, ranged in tiers, is constructed with cosy corners, quiet nooks, and secluded recesses, truly a delightful place wherein to spend an hour. The Chamounix Minstrels here discourse sweet music between the hours ol 2.30 and 5.30, and 8 to 11 p.m., while Serly’s Hungarian Minstrels give selections at intervals during the afternoon and evening. Promenade Concerts will be given from time to time. THE JUBILEE GARDEN. This Garden is surrounded by picturesque scenery of a very novel character. Floral decorations of all kinds, envelop this fairy-like garden, which, with its lake, its island, and its harmonious scheme of colouring in the illuminations, render this place a soothing retreat for those who desire to be away from the general movement and bustle of the larger number of visitors. The electric boats, passing to and fro laden with happy passengers, give added charm to this secluded spot. It is from the centre of the island that the tremendous balloon makes its daily ascents. The Jubilee Garden leads towards the West Brompton entrance, to which, as before stated, the West London Extension and District Railway stations are adjacent. THE ELECTRIC BOATS. The Electric Boats, which have proved so successful in past seasons, have been greatly altered and improved in such a manner as to add to the material ccmfcrt of the public, and the Concerts by the different bands, in the Music Pavilion, render trips in these boats still more delightful than they have ever been. There are four stations from which visitors can take trips, two on the side of the Ducal Hall, near the Grill Room and Victorian Restaurant, and two in front of the Queen’s Palace, right and left of the principal porch. 16 THE VICTORIA GARDEN. The Victoria Garden, at the extreme end of the Queen’s Court, is similar in character to, though entirely different in design from, the Jubilee Garden. It is rich in decorations, and abounds with blossoms. The central feature of this garden is THE BELVEDERE TOWER. This tower, which is nearly 200 feet in height, is built entirely of iron and steel, and upon the skeleton principle. The structure consists of six main vertical ribs of steel, braced vertically and horizontally with steel rods and bars, giving a spider-like effect. Each main rib is bolted securely to concrete anchor beds fifteen feet deep, while the steel work has been calculated to withstand with safety a pressure of fifty-six pounds per square foot, as required by the Board of Trade. About midway up the Tower, a spacious balcony has been built out for the use of visitors, and a platform of similar dimensions, capable of accommodating close upon 150 persons, has also been constructed on the top. Both platforms are supported by powerful cantilevers, bolted to the main structure, the total weight of steel employed altogether being about 150 tons. Comfortable walking space is to be found on these balconies. An ornamental balustrading has been fixed on the platform, and, as a further protection against accidents arising from giddiness and other causes, a strong wire netting has been fixed to the handrail to the height of about ten feet. The time occupied in ascending is about 30 seconds, the descent to terra firma being accom- plished as expeditiously and smoothly. Inside the ironwork are two balance lifts, manipulated by hydraulic pressure, which will hold about ten persons at a time. Special provision has been made for any emergency that might arise ; an independent brake, worked from the top platform, being so arranged as to bring the lift to a standstill at any point in the short journey, and to keep it stationary. There is also an iron staircase reaching to both platforms, so that in case of a stoppage passengers can descend without let or hindrance. From the top of this Tower, the most beautiful view can be had of the Queen’s THE GUIDE. THE FLORAL LOUNGE. THE GUIDE. THE OTTOMAN SECTION. THE GUIDE. THE MARKET PLACE-PICTURESQUE ENGLAND. THE GUIDE.

The scheme of colour this year is entirely white, the work of which has been carried out in admirable style by Messrs. Harrow’s, Ltd. THE MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS. This season the usual band arrangements will be considerably augmented from time to time. The three important Music Pavilions are used for Concerts by the Band of Her Majesty’s Grenadier Guards, under the direction of Mr. A. Williams, Mus. Bac. Oxon. ; the Band of the Honourable Artillery Company, directed by Mr. Edward Walker ; The Seebold Eamily Band — now known as the Cliamounix Minstrels — conducted by Mr. Frith Seebold ; and Herr Victor Hollaender’s Viennese Band. The bands will perform alternately in the stands in the Western Gardens, the Queen’s Court, the Imperial Gardens, and the Terrace in front of the Ducal Hall. Bands of civil and military visiting bodies will perform on special occasions. CONCERNING THE CATERING. REFRESHMENTS. As we enter the Queen’s Court, we observe upon our right, the Victorian Restaurant, and upon the left, the Grill Room. In the latter dining- room, hot and cold joints, and grills, can be had for luncheon, dinner, or supper at ordinary London prices, while the former building, the Victorian Restaurant, is devoted to fixed-price luncheons and dinners. A Buffet with al fresco service has also been opened in this Court. Crossing the Bridge, to the left, we come to the Queen’s Palace Lounge, and the new Jubilee Bar, which has been specially built this season. The entire arrangements concerning refreshments will be found in the concluding pages. 18 Passing through the Floral Lounge, we find ourselves in THE CENTRAL HALL. The Central Hall, so named because of its central situation in the Exhibition, is of Indian architecture. The colour scheme, in which white is the predominating feature, is beautifully executed, the fresco being white, picked out with pale blue. This hall communicates direct with the EMPRESS THEATRE. which is the largest building ol its kind in the world, measuring 417 feet by 200 feet. It has a roof span of 220 feet, and is 117 feet high. The stage measures 315 feet wide by 100 feet deep, with a proscenium opening of 186 feet. The sheet of water, upon which the Grand Naval Spectacle takes place, has an area of 40,000 superficial feet, and is the largest interior water scene ever attempted in England, the space being 160 by 180 feet, and containing close upon 1,000,000 gallons of water. THE NAVAL DISPLAY. Honorary Naval Advisory Corrimittee: Vice-Admibal Mabkham, F.R.G.S. Reab-Admibal Fitz-Geobge. The Grand Naval Display is bound to meet with an enthusiastic response in the hearts of all loyal English men and women, coming, as it does, at a time when war on the sea is an accomplished fact, and when the incalculable value of the British Navy is more in evidence with our countrymen than at any other time in modern history. England’s glorious record of sea-power and supremacy is 19 at once our proudest national achievement and our strongest defence, for our commerce depends upon our ability to protect it, not only in peace, but in war. That we are thoroughly able to do so has been amply demonstrated, happily, so far, on paper, and, if statistics go for anything, we will always be able to hold our own against the enemy. We have our ships and munitions of war, we have our enormous wealth of money, but, above and beyond all, we have, in our sailors and marines, the same blood which has carried us to success over and over again — the same hearts of oak, the same indomitable spirit, the same invulnerable courage. We may be “ a nation of shopkeepers,” but, be that as it may, we are also a nation of fighters, ready, whenever the day may come, to do our duty, as did our forefathers, and to uphold the glory and undimmed honour of the British flag. England and her Navy are co-existant. And, now that our dominion has extended so greatly all over the world, it is our imperative policy to keep our Navy up to the highest possible pitch of excellence in every respect, not by any means as a menace to other countries, but as a possible weapon of defence should the painful necessity ever arise of protecting our enormous, our vital, interests from the onslaughts of a foe. The spectacle in the Empress Theatre has been designed in response to the public spirit ol patriotism, which recent events have so greatly stimulated, and in order to demonstrate, as far and as completely as possible — within the limits of a public entertainment — how our ships would behave in action. Nothing ox the kind has been previously attempted here. So that, apart from all loyal and national reasons, absolute novelty may be claimed for the display. On the stages of our theatres, and in other places, the spirit of the people — the love of freedom, the admiration of valour, and the inborn interest in all things appertaining to the sea — have been dwelt upon and exemplified over and over again, but the vast and peculiar resources of the enormous theatre in the Earl’s Court Exhibition have made it possible to present to the public a replica of some of our naval vessels in a manner which, while being quite unique, will, it is hoped, meet with the appreciation of all visitors, and stimulate them to further admiration of our splendid ships and our brave sailors. The vessels, twelve in number, have been modelled to scale. They include the three-masted “Iron Duke,” the magnificent “ Sans Pared,” 20 the “ Oollingwood,” and the “ Beabow,” with their low hulls, wide funnels, and solitary masts, and the swift “ Camperdown.” The recently-built “ Hotspur ’’ and her sister gun-boat, “The Rupert,” with duplicates of these two ships, are also represented, and, largest and most notable of all, is a model of the “ Terrible,” that awe- inspiring man-of-war with her four funnels, her turret guns, and her enormous ramming power. The vessels vary in length from the torpedo boat and despatch boat of eleven and twelve feet respectively, to the flagship of over seven yards. They are propelled by electricity, their movements being directed by signals from the stage. The sheet of water on which they move is more than forty thousand superficial feet in area and stretches from the first row of seats almost to the extreme back wall of the theatre, the great stage having been entirely removed for this purpose. The background represents a fortified town in a sunny clime, with its winding streets and quaint houses, with its lighthouse on the rocky coast. In the foreground are the substantially-built and imposing fortresses. At the opening of the display, the combined fleet appears, the ships going through various evolutions which are incidental to naval preparations for war. These intricate evolutions are absolutely correct in every particular, so that the spectator may, in imagination, behold the tactics of naval action. Torpedo practice is also demonstrated in the early part of the proceedings, and then, with the change from daylight to darkness, comes the mimic sea fight. The enemy is reconnoitered by a despatch boat, the attacking force is temporarily repulsed, but, thanks to reinforcements, makes a second attempt, this time, with success. The rival vessels keep turning during the entire action — so that they may discharge their guns from all sides, with the minimum of danger to themselves — mines are exploded under water, ships are blown to bits, and, finally, the town capitulates, a flag of truce is hoisted, and the bombardment is over. The majority of the ships then form into line in order to salute the flagship, the “ Terrible,” which, proudly flying the Royal Standard, slowly passes in front and steams away, leaving a pleasant, and it is trusted, a profitable impression on the memory of these accurately modelled ships, and of a brilliant, though miniature, naval battle. The details of the display follow : — 21 PART I. (Day.)— PEACE. No. I. — This Patriotic Naval Display is divided into two parts, although the customary “ interval ” is omitted. The first portion, entitled “ Peace,” commences with the evolutions of the entire fleet, which per- form such well-known tactics as “ single-line-ahead,” “ double-line- ahead,” and the “gridiron formation,” in the order named. The fleet then again steams in single line, and is separated into two divisions. No. II. — A sham fight next displays the opposing squadrons con- tinuously wheeling about while they are supposed to be firing at each other. No. Ill — The larger vessels then depart and a torpedo target is placed in position. It is fired at by two torpedo boats, being finally hit by one of them. No. IV. — The peaceful portion of this part of the programme con- cludes with the entry of all the ships of the squadron, gaily dressed from stem to stern in all the glory of bunting. They form in line, bow on to the audience, and are passed in review by the crack boat of the fleet — the “Terrible ” — which is saluted by them in right Royal fashion. PART II. (Night).— WAR. No. V. — The second part of the programme, entitled “ War,” gives opportunity for a change of scene from daylight to night. In the darkness, a frigate returning home from a voyage, sails boldly in, but she is chased by a cruiser, and fired upon ; nevertheless, she manages to escape and to reach port in safety. No. VI. — A torpedo boat then endeavours to ascertain the position and defences of the town, but, being espied by those on land, thanks to the brilliancy of the search-light, she is fired upon, and after torpedoing one of the enemy’s ships in the harbour, she succeeds in eluding the vigilant fire from the forts and signals for assistance. The attacking flotilla, however, is at first driven back, but is soon reinforced by other ships. No. VII . — The crowning scene of this mimic naval battle now takes place. The ships blaze away in right good earnest, the attack being replied to by the heavy guns from the forts. The bombardment goes on furiously for a little time, ships are destroyed, the town is reduced to ruins and sends forth a flag of truce, and the navy, despite the furious fire of the land forces, and irrespective of the mines which are exploded in the water, proves triumphant. Peace being restored, the ships are all brilliantly illuminated, the magnificent flag-ship, the “ Terrible,” is once more saluted by her sister ships, this time as victor, and, amid a perfect torrent of golden rain, and to the inspiriting strains of “ Rule Britannia” and “ God Save the Queen,” the vessels return to port, having accomplished their mission as surely and successfully as would our own Royal Navy, if it ever again co.nes to a question of trying the strength of England, Mistress of the Sea. 22 Tlie thanks of the directors of the London Exhibitions, Limited, are due, and are hereby tendered to, Admirals Markham and Fitz- George for their kindness in supervising the multifarious evolutions of the boats, and thus insuring their correctness. In reference to the Naval Display, The Times of May Gth, in the course of its first notice of the Exhibition, wrote as follows : — “For the last few weeks all men’s thoughts have been engrossed by problems of naval warfare, and at the very moment when two Powers are setting in motion against each other the terrible engines of destruction which science has placed at the command of modern combatants, the directors of the Earl’s Court Exhibition come forward with an admirable mimic display of warships at peace and in action. There are many interesting things to be seen at the Exhibition besides, but there can be no doubt that nothing will attract the public so much as this admirable demonstration of the working of battleships and cruisers and gunboats. It will help every one who sees it to realise the immense importance to this country of a strong and efficient Navy, and will stimulate and quicken that just pride which, as a seafaring nation, we feel in all that appertains to our maritime greatness. The Empress Theatre, in which this naval spectacle takes place, is an immense building, and some idea of its size may be gathered from the fact that an acre of water is set apart for the manoeuvring of the ships. The vessels, 12 in number, have been modelled to scale. They include the Iron Duke, the Sans Pared, the Collingwood, the Benbow, and the Camperdown. The Hotspur and Rupert, with duplicates of these two vessels, are also represented, and, largest and most notable of all, is a model of the Terrible. The ships vary in length from the torpedo-boat and despatch-boat of lift, and 12ft. respectively to the flagship of 25ft. They are propelled by electricity, their movements being directed by signals from the stage. Admiral Markham and Admiral Fitz George have supervised the evolutions of the vessels, so that the correctness, from a naval point ol view, of the details of the various manoeuvres may be taken for granted. “Facing the spectators in the Empress Theatre is the large sheet of water, having as a background a picturesque scene representing a fortified town in some pleasant Utopia whose inhabitants are destined to hear no more alarming sounds than the reports of guns fired in 23 mimic, but most realistic, warfare. In the foreground are frowning fortresses, a lighthouse, and all the accompaniments of a well protected harbour. Looking at the scene from the seats of the theatre, the spectator might easily imagine that he was standing on some lofty emiuence commanding a splendid view of a neighbouring port, and this impression is strengthened by the accuracy with which proportion has been observed in all particulars. At the opening of the display the combined fleet appears, moving in from the wings in the most natural way, with admirable precision. Various evolutions are gone through, illustrating naval tactics, as well as torpedo practice, and the laying of submarine mines. It may be doubted if any more vivid idea of operations preceding a naval engagement could be obtained, even by watching the proceedings of real ships at the seat of war, than that which is here afforded to the spectator. The battle which follows is a night engagement. It may be briefly described as beginning by the reconnoitring of the enemy by a despatch boat, after which the attacking force is temporarily repulsed, but receiving reinforcements, makes a second and a successful attempt upon the town. The action thus baldly outlined is of the most exciting description. A constant fire is maintained by the vessels and the forts, flie former manoeuvring the wdiole time, and fighting with the utmost determination. Mines are exploded, the water dashes up high above the ships, and the havoc which the explosives can effect is made even plainly apparent. The ships themselves do not fall victims to these terrible engines of warfare, and inasmuch as they have cost on an average £400 apiece, this is a matter for congratula- tion ; otherwise the naval spectacle could not have the long and successful run which is confidently anticipated for it. But there is no apparent reason why they should not be destroyed, and the illusion is therefore not dispelled by their immunity. Two dummy vessels are, however, annihilated by mines, and this is sufficient for the purpose of giving a last touch of realism to the battle. The forts are blown up, the town is enveloped in flames, and finally a flag of truce is hoisted from one of the ruined ramparts, the town capitulates, and the battle is over. Most of the ships, illuminated in honour of the victory, then form into line in order to salute the flagship “ Terrible,” which, flying the Boyal Standard, slowly passes in front and moves away, firevorks be'ng displayed from the town, and the band playing 24 “ Rule Britannia ” and “ God Save the Queen ” as the fleet disappears from view. The whole entertainment is, without doubt, the most realistic representation of a naval battle ever seen in this country, and reflects the highest credit on the enterprise of the Directors of the London Exhibitions (Limited).” Adjacent to the Central Hall are THE ROYAL GALLERIES. Containing the Italian, Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and American Sections, the respective Commissioners for which are Chevalier Thomas Silombra, Monsieur Sifico, Mr. Victor Spitz, and Mr. A. Macchi. ITALIAN SECTION. Here a splendid series of exhibits meet the eye. At the entrance is seen the exquisite examples of Italian Sculpture, exhibited by Antonio Frilli. Hundreds of beautiful figures, executed in pure snow-white Carrara marble are shown. On the left is a fine show by G. Errico, of Bronzes, Terra-cotta, Ceramic, Venetian Glass, etc. ; Moriondo and Gariglio, Chocolate ; Professor Saibene Carlo, Pen Work ; Veneziani and Coppini, Filigree and Cameos and Cut Silver ; Antonio Frilli, Marble Statuary, Pedestals, etc. ; Ettore Montani, Jewellery, etc. ; Petralli and Co., Imitation Bronzes; L. Pellissier, Tortoiseshell Objects and Roman Jewellery ; Molaroni and Co., Majolica Vases and Ornaments ; G. Andreoni, Marbles and Art Bronzes. OTTOMAN SECTION. Probably the most typical section is the Ottoman Section, the superb decoration of which is far beyond anything of a like nature pre- viously produced in this country. The exhibits, both numerous and unique, will interest all who appreciate oriental wares, and even those whose tastes lay in other directions. The costly constructional work, beautifully executed, adds a great triumph to the artistic (nsemble. Costly Embroidery, and Oriental Bnc-a-Brac , in unlimited quan- tities are displayed. The luxurious Turkish Rugs, Cushions, Curtains 25 and Embroidered Silks and Stuffs, would excite envy even in the hearts of regal personages. Messrs. Notara, the well-known manu- facturers of Turkish Cigarettes, have a fine display of their wares. If perchance we have a sweet tooth, we can turn aside and partake of “real Turkish Lakoum,” in other words, that delightful sweetmeat, “Turkish Delight”; again, we can turn and smoke the exquisite tobacco of the Orient. The typical character of the stall fronts, beautifully carved and modelled, makes the Oriental portion of the Exhibition very pleasant to the eye, and indeed, one might well imagine oneself traversing an Ottoman Bazaar in Turkey. An inspection of the Inlaid Furniture, and attractive Hanging Draperies, exclusive of anything else, is an interesting experience. AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN SECTION. Perhaps the most numerous exhibits in the Royal Galleries are those representing the Austro-Hungarian Section, the principal of which are those of H. Brunner and Co., Jewellery; R. Brix, Furniture ; S. Galoti, Enamel Goods and Mother-of- Pearl Articles ; H. Gluber’s Optical Emporium ; C. Goldberg, Bohemian Glass ; L. C. Hardmuth, Pencils of all kinds; E. Lewicki, Chocolate; T. Meyer, Mechanical Clocks in great variety ; J. Perstinger, Wood Turning ; H. Poliak, Furs and Tatra Iiause Industries ; 0. Reich, Pens, Desk Appliances, etc. ; F. Stuflesser, Altars and Statuary ; J. Weinert, Patent Novelties ; M. Zeller, Leather Goods ; H. Muller, Bohemian Glass; and the Buda Pestli Commercial Museum of Hungarian Popular Hand-made Art Manufactures. The Bosnian Government has here a very fine exhibit of Tobacco, etc. In close proximity to these Sections will be found the GERMAN, SWISS, AND AMERICAN Exhibits, all of the first order, a few of which are : — F. Gentner, Swiss Wines; The Societie d’lndustrie Laitiere, Condensed Pure Milk, without sugar and other comestibles; B. Sepinak, Watches, Pendants, etc. ; Ed. Scliiess, Hand- worked Embroideries of St. Gall. 26 THE IMPERIAL COURT Some of the most handsomely fitted Stalls are in the Imperial Court which is mainly devoted to the BRITISH SECTION Where will be found many notable exhibits, such as Messrs. Bewlay’s renowned “ Flor de Dindigul ” brands of cigars ; Messrs. Ardesliir and Byramji’s Oriental Wares; the Indo-China Curio Trading Co., Chinese and Japanese Curiosities ; Messrs. Kiddle and Coucliman, Official Guides and Programmes ; Messrs. F. P.

Bodenstein, Articles of Qlivewood, etc. ; and J. Sclierzer, Bohemian Glass. THE IMPERIAL GARDENS. This Court, with its novel scheme of illuminations and floral embellish- ments certainly is one of the most charming resorts of the Exhibition. Concerts are given here daily, in the afternoons and evenings, in the 27 same way as in tlie Queen’s Court and the Western Gardens. Visitors will observe that the Pavilion has been entirely reconstructed. Here, during the s3ason, the Bands of Her Majesty’s Grenadiers, The Honouralle Artillery Company, The Viennese Band, and The Chamounix Minstrels perform alternately. Ample seating accom- modation has been provided surrounding this elegant Pavilion, and the best of attendance will be found here. Afternoon tea, with the accompaniment of martial, operatic, and select music is a popular institution here. The gardens have been re-arranged and re- modelled, and the prevailing colour of the decorations, is, as in the case of the Queen’s Court and Victoria Garden, pure white, tastefully picked out with crimson. The gardens have been tastefully laid out and planted by Mr. T. S. Ware, of Hale Farm Nurseries, Tottenham. PICTURESQUE ENGLAND. Picturesque England has been renovated and entirely redecorated. Visitors will notice the removal of the “ cobble-stones,” a proceeding rendered necessary, considering the vast number of visitors who pass through this delightful place, and to whom the “ cobbles,” though very realistic, are somewhat troublesome as far as pedestrianism is concerned. Entering Picturesque England from the Imperial Court, and bearing to the right, w T e come to Messrs. Sharp Brothers’ exhibit of Soap, Perfumery, &c., and a spacious building occupied by the most recent Automatic Mechanical Novelties, shown by Messrs. Gordon & Co., Jewell’s Caricature Photographs, and the next exhibit is by Mr. G. W. Biley, consisting of Bustic Seats, Chairs, Tables, Arches, Greenhouses, &c. The Carpet Beating Company show their Patent Compressed Air Carpet Cleaning Machine, and also their Steam Carpet Beating Machinery. We now come to the exhibit of the Parisian Diamond Company, a fine display of Parisian Diamonds and Oriental Pearls. The Heating and Cooking Stoves of Messrs. W. Poore & Co. will appeal to housekeepers, &c., and the Models of Poultry, Pigeon, and Horticultural Appliances will prove interesting. Messrs. Crossfield & Sons display their toilet products, the principal of which is the “Peerless Erasmic Soap”; and the Model Milling Plant is also exhibited by the same firm. In the ‘28 Langdon-Davies Alternating Current Patent Electric Motor, we Lave a very novel exhibit ; the Mat6 Tea Company, Ltd., and the London and Provincial Dairy Company have this year a repetition of their Model Dairy, so popular last year. Sparklets,” special preparations for the aeration of all liquids, &c., Mr. Walter Stenning, with fancy goods, electric engraving, &c., and Messrs. Maynards, Ltd., the celebrated confectioners, next meet our view. Passing along we arrive at the Flower Stall of Messrs.
