CHEAP COTTAGES EXHIBITION FUND.
THE amount of subscriptions and fees received up to Juno 1st for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition is £1,210 3s. 6d, in addition to £420 promised to the Prizes Fend, making a total of £ 1,630 3s. 6d. Between forty and fifty cottages are already in process of erection. 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.
We are asked by the "County Gentleman and Land and Water" —under which title our contemporary now appears—to state that Mr. Wilbraham V. Cooper is the organising secretary of the Exhibi- tion, and that al/ 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 (Iracechurch Street, B.C.) have most generously consented to act as honorary solicitors to the Exhibition.
