Rrantz, the Grand Chief of the Exhibition, has hung up in the Vestibule d’ IJomneur, at the ^Exhibition, a counterfeit presentment of the diploma which will in due course, be conferred upon fortunate exhibitors, there begin to make them selves heai-d the usual outcries of dissatisfaction. From an artistic • point of view, the picture in sepia is all that could be wished, and there is not, at any rate as yet, any ground of complaint with regard to the fairness and the ability with which the coveted originals of the desigrt are allotted. For the official list of the prize-takers is not, at present, made public, even if it be completed, nor will anyone have authority to an nounce the full results of the scrutiny until the 21st of October, the date now fixed for the distribution of the awards. But it is said that many amongst the exhibitors are ill-pleased with the delay, inasmuch as it will prevent the possible use to them, during the present Exhibition, of such awards as they may have won. In tending customers, who desire to buy of, or to give their orders to, prize winners only, will have but ten days during which^to exercise their patron age. In the meanwhile they must play the part of jurymen themselves, and must either guess as best they can the probable distribution of the medals, or must leave their good in tentions unfulfilled. So exhibitors who, with sufficient or insufficient reason, believe that they are destined for a'place amongst the laurealx of 1878 are, I am told, aggrieved that they cannot make use at once of their coming advertisement; and I hear an amusing anecdote of one enterprising tradesman who places on his case a placard, bearing in small letters the words " Expectation cP obtenir.' and in large ones the premature announce ment "La medhile (Por.’’ Then, again, a grievance is made but of the fact that, as is only material, the secret of the'ten or tw elve thousand awards leaks out, in many instances, from amongst the two or three thouifliid jurymen, ^officials, &C., ne- ■quainted with the desi- , cessarily acquainted aions winch have been reached. There is but one Paris in the world, and now is the' time to see its best. The weather is just cbol enough to be invigorating, and at no time since the opening of the Exposition has the city been so full of strangers.
