WORKING MEN'S RIC 13 IBITION.

In oonsequenoe of the efforts now in progress for
holding an International Exhibition of works of art,
maindmitlires, and elitirddtles at Islington, for worlds.
Menu the commitioixof the Working Men's Club, re-
quoted Mr. Page, 'their bon. secretary, to attend the
London Goan-mos on the subject no Monday last. &
inciatiog of the working men of Weyaloath was called
; foe Friday evening last, at the club room, North Quay,
In eider to obtain some penancei result, in naming the
proper nerocantation of Weymouth. Tbe teak was
taken by his worship tbe mayor, R. N. Howard, Egg.,
and there were also present :—H. Edwards, Esq.,
G. L Eliot, Seq., president of the club, Mx. J. R.
Grickmay, Mr. .1. J. Moils, Mr. Howse, ho, with •
pod aumbeir of working men, though not such • large
assembly as was expels&
The MAYO' mid be was very glad to meet them that
evening, for the meeting was galled to oonsider what he
thought • very importmit natter. It is proposed to
hold in July, 1870, at the Agriealtural }Ulf, U 1100413,
as intenstibion•l exhibitiou for working men, soil the
latter are to be called efa to supply works of their own
manufacture for that exhibiting', and prises will be
awarded for the best. Bat when they spoke of the
woeking man,' he did not think there was • word
more liable to be misituderstood and misapplied that of
"working" man. They were all elated upon to work,
and no man ought to live unless he does—(heor.) He
trusted every man 'mad think Over the Mattel' and try
to oontribnto some work worthy of himself, Ills town;
and his country. Ths great MA were theta who had

years ago, stood upon the pavements of London

latiustry. With reforimee to tho proposed mnibition,
if they said they did not suppose any one could send
sorepealsion el art ee skill, or Industry, from bore, he
believed it a peat mistake. Why should not they
mod something that would make them torooos ? When
he reesived the sommuniaatiou raspeoting the eshibi-
lion, be banded it over to the club, which called itself
lb. Working Men's Club, mid the members of which
had ocontined tharseelms together, and worked so
admirably and prosperously in the town. They took
the sukijoot up. mush to their credit, and delegated Mr.
Page to visit London, and that gentlemen would give
an aosouot of what had taken Owe, and friends around
would explain what is intended to be done. He hoped
that on this miner every MID would prove himself
really a working man for his own good and the credit of
the town

--Mr. Plias then proceeded to give an 11001111111 of his
visit to the room of the Society of Arts in London,
where assembled delegates from various parts of Eng-
land, sad also from mintiest:dal countries, including
Ruse* to promote the exhibition. He einaidlead thet
in Weymonih we ham men whom Kiss used oaly to be
carried out, and then although we are so far from the
large manufacturing towns, they will be able to send
works not behind any contributed. Reposedly when
they considered it was to be • Woi king Misu'ii
lion, he thought the workmen of Weymouth might
endeavour to compete with Ragland and also of
eontinental cations. Mr. Page went on to explain the
proposed arrengamonts. As to the system of prises it
was wronged that the great majority at the jurors
should be working mu, sad thin would relieve the
naiads of intending competitors from any fear last the
jurors should not have sufficient knowledge of that
which they judged. It was suggested that working
men should pay in a small sum weakly, so that they
might La:amulets, a lead, to be enabled to visit the
Exhibition when opened, and anything he (Mr. Page)
could do in the way of work to asest them he *humid
be happy to do—(bear.) The arrangements for opening
impaired very great eau, and he was glad to say Gist
only one person suggested opening on Sunday, and the
suggestion was immediately negatived—(applguse.)
Arrangements will be made in some put of the
Exhibition, so that visitors, who chive, might have the
opportunity of homing lectures on some educational
branch of memo. Losel exhibitions are also suggested,
and acme of the money raised by subscription can be
devoted so that intending exhibitors, who have not the
means themselves, may be granted some money its a
loan, on security of the articles exhibited. Anything
may be exhibited that ahem an appreciation of what is
beautiful in form or odour. Mr. Page remarked that
there are always inte leeks enough in Weymouth, and
they should be ealled out that we May not be behind
other towns and other nations. It had been feared
tnat the workmen of England ue getting far behind
those of the continent, and this is owing to the
deficiency of technieal ednestion. Mr. Page quoted
some words of Dickens in encouragement to those who
feared toey ,tight not succeed, and in conclusion, read
the rules for exhibitors, whieh will be exhibited in
the club room.
H. EDWARDS, Seq. M.P., said, be was very Weaned
to be present there, although it was quit* as accidental
circuinstancie, and he was not in any way prepared to
souk. He was very much indebted to Mx. Page for
the way in which he had set the matter before them,
for be (Yr. Edwards) wee ashamed to say that he
did not know so much about the matter before,
although he was really a member and was • guarantor
of this Working Ken's Exhibition (apple use.) He
felt deeply interested in the working men (bear) ,
and threw bus intoned in eudeavouring to assist
the Club to obtain a betmr room (renewed
applause, said a voice "Wt are very much
obliged to you for it, air.") Had he been in London at
this time be Mould sertainly have gone and supported
his friend, Mr. Morley, in his effort. to raise the work-
Mg men, tor he believed that when they elevated the
working men, they at the same time elevated them.
selves. (Hear.) He was deeply interested in every
thiag behiagieg to Weymouth, mid it would be • great
mums of wide so him it one of the working tam from
hen should send articles of his own workmanship, sad
succeed in carrying off a prise. If it was possible for
him (Mx. Edwards) Motu an additional prise to the
man who had won a prise, he should be happy to do so.
(Applause.) They need sot suppose that it was neces-
sary for anything to be very elaborate, for there bad
been very simple innocent inventions that bad been if
very great service, and very much commanded. But,
let the prim be great or small, if any ems was serried
by a working man of Weymouth, be (Mr. Edwardt)
would give Isbn £lO besides. (Applause.) They need
not be ribald of trying, for this would be esseatially.
Working Wahibition. aad none but 'coking men
would exhibit there. There were painstaking and
clever men here, as well as in other places, and such
men would no doubt be succearful. Then there, are
men who fancy they are very dever, and that they have

he thought than. should be • local exhibition. the siom •
mittee of which would be able to decide what thing*,
are salted to be sent to the Islington exhibition, and
what are not likely to be admitted at all. (Hear,
hear.) There was another thing he wished to notice—
it would be of the greatest use for men to go up to
London, to this inhibition, even if they did not exhibit
anything, and he would certainly entreat them to lay
up • sum weekly, at that they might not miss it, bat
by all means let them go to this inhibition. Although
they might not feel 000lcient enough to eat:mete this
time, they would see thinp there that smith& induce
them to compete at the next exhibition, therefore he
would entreat every working mem to aosteavonr by ell
menus to go op, an that afterwards he might meet his
fellow.workmam who enquired of him " Have you been
to the exhibition r with the kaowledge that he had
been there. Mr. Edward' then went on to say he
wlabodla• she a•ivaaata of the 8-hoursdabour
idea, for be thought that all very well for ceitoren - bet
whirs a mu was making money, let him work as long
as he could earn, work till he was tired, put money in
his priest, and rest when there is no work to do. ID
conclusion M. Edwards said that anything be amid do
to promote their going up, be would be eery pliaaaad to
do They had men in the club, be was oertain, who
were willing anff•ble to make all the arrangionenta, sad
be should laud bisaid most willing and with the greatest
delight---(spelause).
Mr. J. J. RoLLe concurred in all teat the Mayor and
Mr. Ed eards had said,and thanked Mr. Page for the lucid
way In which be bad szplansed the arrengesneate for
the exhibition. The re ection of delegate., Mr. Rolls

The Yin Toll then called upon Mr. Criakmay, who had

Mr. G. R. COLIC/MAY had come there to listen to

At other countries also, It had been said that the
workmen of England are lasing their position as
