TIIE EAST LONDON INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.  -A meeting has been held at the London Manske House to formulate a scheme for holding an industrial exhibition in East London next year. The Wei Mayor presided. Lord Iddesleigh moved the first emotion," that this meeting cordially approves of the proposal to hold an industrial exhibition in East London in 1887, and will do all in its power to promote the same." Be said the time for holding the exhibition well particularly appropriate, as it woul be the jubilee ef her Majesty's reign. This year they had an exhibition of the products of the colonies. And next year, if this idea was carried out, they would have one of an opposite character, in an exhibition of the products of the heart of the old country. It was now desirable that an opportunity should be given to the people of East London to show what they could do; and one of the ' chief advantages of the exhibition would be that they would not only sh Ay others what they could do in the East-end, but they would also show themselves where there was necessity for improvement. Ile knew there was a great demand for the present time for goods which could be turned out quickly and cheaply, but still Londoners should show that they could also turn out good work. The authorities at South Kensington would lend artistic work to make the exhibition artistic end instructive, and he felt assured that if the idea wee properly carried out they would be able to offer a tribute to her Majesty en the celebration of her jubilee which would not be the least gratifying of the many expressions she would have. The Marquis of Lorne seconded the resolution, and said he believed the exhibition would do much to increase the artistic and technical knowledge of the workmen of East London. Mr. E. H. Pickersgill 5u15 ported the resolution, which was carried. Viscount • Enfield moved that a guarantee fund of £25,000-be raised to cover all expenses in connection with the movement.
