The Liege exhibition and these trade exhibitions in London are the only ones provided for in this vote, and the only ones we have so far considered.
For renewing and improving Canadian exhibits at Imperial Institute, London, and assisting in the maintenance thereof, $8,000.

What is this city office for ?

Mr. FISHER.
It is for two purposes. In the first place there has been a constant objection that the Imperial Institute was too far in the west end to be convenient for business men. In connection with The city office there is a show room, where I hope to have brief temporary exhibits. For instance, one week eve may have an exhibit of canned goods, another week bacon and pork, another week something else ; and each exhibit will be advertised beforehand to the trade specially interested in the particular line of products exhibited. The exhibits in the city will be exhibits of goods of a perishable nature, lasting only a few days or a week, whereas the exhibition at the Imperial Institute at South Kensington is one of a more permanent and general character. At the city office we might have in the course of the year fifteen or twenty different exhibits.

The amount is scarcely sufficient to carry such an enterprise in the city and do it effectively.

We expect that Mr. Watson, with an ordinary clerk, will he able to alternate between the exhibit at South Kensingtou and the office in the city. When the exhibit is going on he will spend most of his time there and have his clerk at the South Kensington Institute.

Yes, he does nothing else. He only got $1,200 for a long time.

Can you get a good officer for that price ?
. Mr. FISHER. I am surprised that Mr. Watson is contented, but he is an efficient officer. He has been there a long time, and is well up in Canadian products and affairs, and a most suitable man for the purpose.

What inducements are held out to manufacturers to exhibit ? Have they to pay their own freight, or what means should they take to have their goods exhibited ?
