SUMMARY,
A careful examination of the aggregate result of the labours of the Jurors shows that the number of awards of all classes
—Council and Prize Medals, and "Honourable Mentions"—is 5,084; of this number, 2,039 have been awarded to the
United Kingdom, and 3,045 to the foreign exhibitors. Upon analysing these lists, we find that the proportion of prizes
awarded in the six great groups, which included the whole of the Jurors, is as follows :—

tion, £505,117 5s. Cd.
Of the money received at the doors, £275,000 was in silver, and £81,000
a gold.
The
weight
of the silver coin so
taken (at the rate of 28 lbs. per £100) would be 35 tons, and its bulk 900 cubic feet. The rapid flow of the coin into the
hands of the money-takers, prevented all examination of each piece as it was received, and £90 of bad silver was taken,
but only one piece of bad gold, and that was a half-sovereign. The half-crown was the most usual bad coin, but a much
more noticeable fact is, that nearly all the bad money was taken on the half-crown and five-shilling days. _ The entrance
money was received by eighteen money-takers ; on the very heavy days six extra ones being employed during the busiest
hours. From them it was gathered by three or four money-porters, who carried it to four collectors, charged with tne
task of counting it. From them it went to two tellers, who verified the sums, and handed it to the final custody of the
chief financial officer, Mr. Carpenter, who locked each day's amount in his peculiar iron chests in the building till next
morning, when in boxes, each holding £600, it was borne off in a hackney cab, in charge of a Bank of England clerk and
a Bank porter. The money was received in all forms, ranging between farthings and ten-pound notes. Contrary to the
notices exhibited, change waa given. Occasionally foreigners gave Napoleons, and these coins being mistaken for
sovereigns, they received nineteen shillings out and liberty of admission as well. The moneys of America, Hamburg,
Germany, and France, were often tendered and taken.
