Mr. Hodgson Pratt has done a very clever and a

very kindly thing. He has made arrangements with the English and French Railways, with the Imperial Commission, and with certain pro- visioners, under which 200 workmen per week may go to Paris, live in a pleasant hall, spend a week sight-seeing, and come back again for 30s. All they will have to purchase for themselves is their food and an Exhibition ticket, and Mr. Pratt estimates the total colt at about 31. for the week. Tickets may be had at the Working Men's Club, 150 Strand, and will, we calculate, reduce the cost of the trip to a workman nearly two-thirds.
