by King Charles I. on JiilY 13th. From a hamlet of 1,400 people it has grown into a thriving town of nearly 500,000, with industries which export, amongst other things, textiles, leather goods and agri- cultural machinery to all parts of the world. It is expected at Leeds that hundreds of thousands of visitors will attend these celebrations. We hope later- to give particulars of the tercentenary festivities and the projected pageant.
