What are we going to do when the Franco- British Exhibition is no more? That is rather puzzling, but we shall probably not begin to worry about it until October. For the moment the fact is that the Exhibition has become an indispensable institution. It is now a? complete as it is likely to be, and as popular as it can wish to be. Great crowds flock to it day after day and evening after evening—and not merely crowds of foreign visitors and sightseers, but crowds of Londoners. In short, it is the correct thing to spend your spare evenings* f H»A“deed, evenJI it were not fashionable, people would come surreptitibusTy, Be cause it is, after all, a great pleasure and a great attraction. Apart from the v many exhibits and the serious side of the whole thing, simply to sit in the grounds listening to the music and watching the ceaseless tide of human life around one, until the sky grows red and then darker and darker, and a million lamps begin to gleam along the sky line, is a great relief from the heat and turmoil of the day. At ten o’clock comes the boom of the rockets, and the heavens are filled with showers of burning gold and glittering jewels of fire; and at eleven there is the slurring sound of thousands of footsteps in the paved Court of Honour, as the dense mass of pleasure-seekers makes its way towards the gates, where the phalanx of carriages, motor-cars and cabs awaits them. All the lighter attractions, are now in full swing. Especially fascinating is the slow rise and fall of the Flip-Flap, which, if less conspicuous than a Great Wheel or an Eiffel Tower, has a power all its own of holding the attention. There is some thing so deliberate and so inevitable in the slow movement of the great iron arms, something so conscious in the meeting of the two extremities in mid-air, that the Flip-Flap seems to gain the ad vantage over the Great Wheel or the Eiffel Tower of, as it were, a stronger individuality. There is somehow less monotony about it; one must stand still and watch it again and again. It is like a giant mechanical toy gifted with perpetual motion, the other sensational contrivances continue to pro duce -their desired effect. The Scenic Railway still proves most popular, and only the other evening 1 saw such an array of elegant frocks and hats taking the risk of low tunnels and swift motion tftat I made mental note of its singular power of attraction. Of the other side-shows three appear to enjoy the greatest popularity, namely, Ballymaclinton, the ash village, the Ceylon village and the Senegalese ydlage. The peculiar attraction of Ballymaclinton is undoubtedly in the S p ec i a ii y imported “colleens,” '•no, with their bright scarlet cloaks and short green skirts, their red cheeks and black tresses, do nmch to vivify the white-washed cottages and local fnins into a semblance of reality. The dancing of ree ls to the sound of Irish pipes is greatly ap preciated, as is the soft flow of the brogue that °ne hears on all sides. I see that the Ceylon village has been condemned y a Sinhalese gentleman in a letter to the Times inadequate and altogether misrepresentative. ^one the less, it is very attractive; and if the somewhat squalid natives who squat there and pur sue their vocations are not the best types of Sinha- 6 inhabitants, they are sufficiently attractive in themselves. Most interesting of all is the native school, with its curious discipline, which appears to consist merely in making the little pupils sit in a row leaning against the wall. One of the little girls, with beautiful, wild, black eyes and a delicate body bared to the waist, very naughty and most independent, attracted much attention, while a mother, walking about with a little naked boy on her back, came in for praise for her offspring from the ladies and the men too. In fact, everybody who came near the child petted him as though he had been a shaved poodle and pinched him to see if he was real. There was no doubt about it, he was quite real and didn’t like being pinched. Most charming of all, however, are the numerous Senegalese children in the Senegalese village. They are not very civilized, but they have just enough sense to pester one to give them a penny or to -v4p^4. Pue to ji stall to buy them a necklace or a trinket. They get hold of one by the arm so affectionately and lead one so gently that it is hard to resist their request; and, once you have bought them something, they hang on with real gratitude, and are as proud of their white friend as if he were a crowned King. The adults are a fine race of people, addicted to incomprehensible music,-questionable dances and the receipt of pennies. If you encourage them by looking at them, they insist on shaking hands; and if you talk to them, they are just as bad as their children. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN VISIT.
