25OUR LADIES' COLUMN. THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION. -OPENING DAY.- An invitation to be present at the opening of the American Exhibition tempted me to abandon a drive through country lanes and a ramble amongst daffodils and primroses on the finest and warmest day we have this year. Nevertheless, as we went in an open carriage, we had a longer time to breathe the air of Kensington and West Brompton than we had anticipated, for the whole distance of more than a mile before we reached the great building at Earl's Court Station was blocked with vehicles making their way thither. Carriages of every degree jostled with each other; coroneted carriages, neat little broughams, victorias, and stylish hansoms, but the crowding was not alarming, unless a brewers' dray or ponderous omnibus endeavoured to push on through the fashionable throng.As we sat waiting to move slowly along, we saw as many notabilities making for the Exhibition as at the picture private views a few days ago, and so, though we were late by reason of our slow progress, we were in good company. | 25OUR LADIES' COLUMN.
