Upon Tuesday Next we hold our SPRING SHOW, and that such a thing is possible upon the usual day is due to the untiring efforts of our London agents, who, in consequence of the London Dock Strike -were confronted -with many shipping difficulties. These they have surmounted in such a -wonderful -way that we are now enabled to make a most COMPREHENSIVE DISPLAY IN EVERY DEPARTMENT. Fashionable Apparel Model Millinery New Fabrics Fancy Goods Furnishings Napery, Etc. In all, nearly 300 CASES. In addition to the English and Continental selections of our Home Buyers, there are extensive collections of merchandise from AMERICA and the FAR EAST and AUSTRALIA, the goods from the latter having been personally selected by our Miss Irwin and Miss Law, who journeyed to Melbourne and Sydney for that purpose. Nothing has been left undone to make this display the most successful yet held, and we feel confident that the results attained will once again serve to impress upon our visitors the UP-TO-DATENESS, STYLISHNESS, QUALITY, and comprehensiveness of M. & C.'s Goods. Courteous service is ever at hand and Inspection is welcome—always, especially on Tuesday next
