The International Universal" exhibition at Eurl's Court was opened last Saturday by the Lord Mayor, and a very good exhibition it is, It seems to ime there is something provided for people of all tastes and all ages which should insure success, The main attraction is a "Grand Patriotic Naval Spectacle," entitled "Peace and War," which is most cleverly carried out in the Empress Theatre, the vast stage of which has. Neon transformed into a lake for the purpose. Here x mimic war is carried on in a most realistic manner. The toy ships are worked by electricity, each one carrying a man who manoeuvres his vessel and fights her on absolutely scientific lines, "Before the public performance took' place a private one was given in the presence of Vice-Admiral Markham, who expressed himself as greatly pleased with the display, which is most realistic—one feels one is really assisting at a battle. The torpedo-boxts are very pretty and they shoot real torpedoes from their tubes. The flag: ip gives her own signals as in real war and the other vessels respond in the same manner. The smallest model ship used is 12ft. long and the largest about 25ft., but this one hardly realises. I thought they were far smaller, In addition to this display Mr. Kiralfy has engaged Serly's Hungarian Minstrels, a troupe of 80 performers who sing and dance very well, a Lilliputian Comedy Company which includes Mrs. Tom Thumb and Count and Baron Magri, a Javanese Troupe, a Moorish Camp where native artisans are to be seen at work, some South Sea islanders, an electric theatre, where one an enjoy a day in the Alps from sun-rise to moon-set, and numerous other entertainments. I spent six hours there on the opening day and saw all. these various shows and others also, and returned home very tired but satisfied that the exhibition is superior to any of its predecessors, which is saying a great deal.
