of tlie St. Lawrence and tLe basin of tbe great lakes—from tbe 
more northern, yet more sunny climes on the Pacific coast— 
from the tropic isles of the Caribbean Sea and the late savage 
islands of the Pacific, Indian and Southern oceans—from the 
extreme limit of the African continent, and from Old Asia, 
cradle of the human race,—from every continent and every sea 
they were come, bearing with them the trophies of their labor 
and laying them all at her feet, meet tribute to her and to him 
with whom originated these peaceful gatherings of the nations, 
fit offering upon the altar of a common glorious empire ! 
The delivery to the colonies completed, the procession moved 
down the steps from the dais into the middle of the grand nave; 
the Duke Cambridge, through the ministers of the various 
countries at the British court, delivering to the president of the 
commission of each country the awards to which they were re¬ 
spectively entitled. The scene all the way down was a magnifi¬ 
cent one, and truly international; the representative citizens of 
different countries seeming to vie with each other in the enthusi¬ 
asm of their cheers, as one representative after another received 
the awards to which his countrymen were entitled. Many ex¬ 
ceedingly interesting incidents occurred at the various courts, 
but the limits and objects of this report will not permit their

The awards to American exhibitors were delivered by Min¬ 
ister Adams and received by Col. B. P. Johnson, U. S. Com¬ 
missioner. 
From the nave the procession moved down the western tran¬ 
sept, through the machinery annexe, where other awards were 
delivered, and thence into the garden, and back again to the 
throne, where the programme of this, the second grand fete^ was 
concluded by an exceedingly fine and spirited performance 
by all the bands, of “ God save the Queen ! ” 
AWAKDS TO THE DIFFEEENT COUNTKIES. 
The entire list of awards, as published by the Eoyal Com¬ 
missioners, makes an imperial octavo volume of 460 pages.
