THE total subscriptions received for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition up
to March 16th amount to £890. The Garden City Company, which has saved the Exhibition much of the cost of organisa- tion, has now generously promised £100 to the Prize Fund. A public-spirited patron, who wishes to remain anonymous, has also promised .2100 for the best all-round agricultural labourer's cottage in the Exhibition. Among those who have recently consented to become patrons of the Exhibition is Mr. James Tomkinson, M.P. 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 :— 74.P. LT 0 01 Elsie L. Hyslop ... E0 10 6

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.
