There seems, to have been a great deal oi bungling i n connection with the sale oi season tickets. There was not one to be obtained in any place in town or at the buildings yesterday. Scores of people applied at the Tourist Office, and they were referred to the Armagh-street entrance. There they were referred to tile office in the buildines, to reach which they had to pay 1/ for admission. When they got there they were told th»< trckets had now been sent to Armajih-streei;. Trudging back to that point, they were still refused, but were recommended to try the Kilmore-street entrance. There they were told finally and authoritatively that no tickets would be available until 4 p.m. The orchestral concert yesterday afternoon was attended by only one hundred persons, owing to neglsct in the matter of advertising,, and the first organ recital, last night, had a limited a-udience, due to the same reason.
