THE subscriptions received to the funds of the Cheap Cottages

Exhibition up to March 9th amount to X860. Among those who have recently consented to become patrons of the Exhibition are Lord Monk Bretton, Lord Amherst of Hackney, Sir George Pilkington, and F. Cawley, Esq., M.P. Though the result achieved up till now is encouraging, those responsible for the organisa- tion of the Exhibition are most anxious to see the subscription list still further augmented in order that the prizes may be on an adequate scale. We trust, therefore, that readers of tho Spectator will help the work by donations. The following sums have recently been received through the Spectator :— Ir. Tylston Hodgson ... 51 1 0 I John Galloway Heller, Esq. El I 0 Mrs. W. H. Basile ... 1 0 0 Lord Monk Bretton ... 1 1 0

We are asked by the "County Gentleman" to state that Mr. Wilbraham V. Cooper is the organising secretary of the Exhibi- tion, and that all inquiries in regard to the Cheap Cottages Exhibition made by Builders and others who propose to exhibit should be addressed to the Secretary, Cheap Cottages Exhibition, 347 Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Holborn, W.C.
