After the 94th of May, when it is understood that the high 

 charijes of the International Exhibition are to he reduced to the 

 uniform rate of Is. for the rest of the season, the charge for 

 admission to the Garden except upon Fridays and Saturdays 

 has been practically reduced to CxL; it still stands nominally at 



L 



Is., but to those who also visit the Exhibition it is reduced to OJ. 

 This is in reality reducing the adoiission (o the Garddn to duL, 

 for "\ve may be very sure that the number of visitors to the Garden 

 and not to the Exhibition will be merely nominal. It would have 

 been simpler to have at once descended to GcL altogether, but 

 the Council ^cre not prepared for such an extreme descent, and 

 the abore charges have been adopted as a compromise. 



After the International Exhibition is over, the days of admis- 

 sion, and the charges, have been fixed for the rest of the year at 

 Gd. for Monday (the day selected for the admission of the general 

 public, tbe reservation of at least one day for them having been 

 always contemplated and alluded to in the agreements with the 

 Commissioners of 1851), and 2s. CJ. for Wednesday and Saturday 



the other days being wholly reserved for the Fellows. This 

 arrangenaent, although of course confined to 1862, will doubtless 

 be of importance as a guide in subsequent yeai^. 



Arrangements have also been made with Her Majesty's Com- 

 missioners for the international Exhibition of 1862, for the issue 

 of joint tickets (price 5 guineas), conferring a personal free admis- 

 sion both to the Exhibition and the Royal Horticultural Garden. 

 This ticket is to be obtained from the Commissioners, who will 



r 



account to the Society for a share of the proceeds.
