Tux amount of subscriptions and fees received up to June 15th for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition is £1,323 17s. 6d., in addition to £320 promised to the Prizes Fund, making a total of £1,643 17s. 6d. paid and promised. Between forty and fifty cottages are already in process of erection. We are glad to learn from the County Gentleman and Land and Water that the Duke of Devonshire, K.G., who generously supported the Exhibition at its inception, has kindly consented to open it about July 25th. The exact date will shortly be announced.

We trust, therefore, that readers of the Spectator will help the work by donations. The following sum has recently been received through the Spectator :—
