• CHEAP COTTAGES EXHIBITION FUND.
Tax amount of subscriptions and fees received up to May 4th for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition is £1,138, in addition to £420 promised to the Prizes Fund, making a total of £1,558. A meeting will take place at the Westminster Palace Hotel at 4 o'clock on Wednesday, May 10th, to further the interests of, and draw attention to, the Exhibition. It is hoped that all who are interested in the question of rural housing will attend. Those desiring to be present should apply to the secretary as below. The Earl of Onslow will preside, and among the speakers will be Earl Carrington, the Bishop of Hereford, Lord Hylton, Sir William Chance, Sir Walter Lawrence, Mr. W. Crooks, M.P., Mr. Channing, M.P., Mr. R. Neville, K.C., and others. Though the result achieved up till now is encouraging, those respon- sible for the organisation 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 the Spectator will help the work by donations.
• 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. We are also informed that Messrs. Thorne and Welsford (17 Gracechurch Street, E.C.) have most generously consented to act as honorary solicitors to the Exhibition.
