The Finance department, the most satisfactory test of the 
practical success of such undertakings, alone remains to be 
touched upon. This presents a most satisfactory and encou- 
raging appearance ; for although the total expenditure was no 
less than 296,685 marks, or 17,706/. sterling, the nett proceeds 
amounted to 376,615 marks, or = 22,457/. sterling, thus leaving 
a clear surplus of receipts over expenditure of 79,480 marks, or 
4751/. sterling. 
The several details of the Expenditure may be considered under 
the following heads : — 
1. Prizes in Money, Cups, and Medals. 
2. Costs of construction, decoration, &c. 
3. Working expenses. 
4. Expenses of foreign Jurors and guests. 
5. Expenses of administration. 
6. Sundry expenses, including music, printing, advertise- 
ments, &c. &c. 
7. Surplus of receipts over expenditure. 
* The numbers given of admissions by these tickets must be considered rather 
as an estimate than as being strictly correct, as the registration was very imperfect. 
At the same time it should be observed that the numbers given of admissions by 
payment are in all probability considerably below the correct amount, as great 
irregularities, on the part of the money takers in the admission department, were 
discovered at an early period of the meeting.
