CHEAP COTTAGES EXHIBITION FUND.

WE acknowledge the following additional contributions made through the Spectator to the above Fund, and have forwarded them to the County Gentleman:— Miss Alice E. Busk 22 2 0 1 Thomas Prichard ... £0 5 0 Among those who have recently consented to become patrons of the Cheap Cottages Exhibition are the Earl of Eosebery, E.G., and the Earl of Sheffield. The total sum of donations received up to February 23rd amounts to £775, including a -subscription of .2100 received from the Duke of Bedford, K.G. Though the result achieved up till now is encouraging, those responsible for the organisation of the Exhibition are most anxious to see the subscription list still further augmented in order that the prizes made be on an adequate scale.

We are asked by the "County Gentleman" to state that Mr. Wilbraham V. Cooper has been appointed organising secretary of the Exhibition, 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 Exhi- bition, 347 Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Holborn, W.C.
