HALIFAX, May 14.
GREAT BRITAIN.
Graphic details are published of the opening ceremonies at
the great exhibition. The number present
was 33,000, all being season ticket holders.
The Times pronounces the
ceremonies emphatically the grandest and best managed affair seen in England
for Years. The musical arrangements were
carried out according to programme, and were very grand.
The Morning Post
in an editorial deplores the sad spectacle presented by the American attendance
at the exhibition. The second day the
admission was one guinea, and the number sold over 32,000.
