CHEAP COTTAGES EXHIBITION FUND.
Tax donations and fees received for the Cheap Cottages Exhibition amount to 41,099, in addition to which the Com- mittee most gratefully acknowledge a generous gift of 4250 to the Prize Fund from the Ecclesiastical Commission. The Co- operative Small Holdings Society also offer a prize of 410 for the best model of a small holding. Among those who have recently consented to become patrons of the Exhibition are Sir William Houldsworth, M.P., Sir W. H. Holland, M.P., Mr.
C. E. Schwaxm, and Colonel G. Dixon. 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 follow- ing sum has recently been received through the Spectator :— The Warden of Now College, Orford 21 1 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 ail 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 Watford (17 Gracechurch Street, E.G..) have most generously consented to act as honorary solicitors to the Exhibition.
