TEE amount of subscriptions and fees received up to May
11th for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition is 41,151, in addition to 4420 promised to the Prizes Fund, making a total of 21,571. The President of the Board of Agriculture, the Right Honourable Ailwyn Fellowes, M.P., has consented to become a patron of the Exhibition. 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 may be on an adequate scale. We trust, therefore, that readers of the Spectator will help the work by donations. The following sums have recently been received through the Spectator :— W. J. Crossley, Esq. — B.5 0 01 H. F. Mallet — 22 2 0
J. R. Barlow ... £2 2 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. 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.
