The Exhibition at the Chiswick Garden, held July 5., was still more nume- 

 rously attended than the previous ones, there being present 3076 persons, 

 notwithstanding the attraction of the queen going down the river to embark 

 for Germany, attended by a numerous body of courtiers, which must have 

 drawn " some souls another way." The stage of exhibition was seen to 

 greater advantage than on any former occasion, in consequence of a passage 

 round it being railed off, with openings at each end and in the centre of each 

 side for ingress and egress. This arrangement admits of some improvement, 

 which will no doubt be made ; and, when it is perfectly satisfactory, we shall 

 give a ground plan of it, for the benefit of other societies who have similar 

 exhibitions. 



The next thing which we should like to see attempted by the directors of 

 those shows would be a classification of the articles exhibited. We would 

 place all the fruit on a part of the stage by itself; all the florists' flowers by 

 themselves, all the roses by themselves, and so on. This would not interfere
