Vienna in London.

Earl's Court in London will be, during the summer, 1906, the rendezvous of all tourists from the British colonies who visit London but will not have time to go to the Continent. Why ? Because they will see there, and will be able to visit, all the places of amusement with which one geaerally associates the Continent, and expecially Vienna, for they will be able to see this year, in connection with the Austrian Industrial Exhibition, at Earls' Court, Austrian restaurants, Viennese coffee-houses, Dreher's beer gardens, theatres with productions by Austrian artists, cafe chantants, Viennese varieties •tc., etc. A Tyrolese village, after the style of the Swiss village at the International Exhibition in Paris, 1900, designed by the masterly hand of Kautsky, wfll form one of the special attractions of the Exhibition, and the famous " Wiener Maenner-gesangsverein " (Viennese Male Choral Society), the best of its kind on the European Continent, and the Viennese Philharmonic Society will afford the English public quite a novel artistic treat. Earls' Court has been selected for the site of the Exhibition, as being the best place in London for out door attractions in the summer evenings. The purpose of the Austrian Industrial Exhibition, which will be under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and bs opened in May, 190G, is to propagate a direct trade betwetm Austria and Great Britain and her dominions. The Exhibition* will afford an insight into the manufacture of specific Austrian articles which are not to any extent manufactured in England, and which hitherto have been exported to England through other channels. The management of the Exhibition will be divided into two committees —viz., the Vienna Executive Committee, with his Excellency Count Auersperg, the Austrian Minister of Commerce, as honorary president; and an Advisory Committee, of which the Lord Mayor of London will be honorary president. The Exhibition will not only be interesting, but highly instructive for colonial tourists visiting London, and no one going Home who desires to have an insight into Continental customs should miss this splendid opportunity of seeing gay Viennese life transferred into the heart of London.
