When in London recently, he continued, he saw the Duke and Ditches of York, who expressed interest in the exhibition. As their Royal Highnesses would be unable to attend the exhibition, he suggested that the city would be glad. to present to the Duchess some fabrics to be worn by her at the opening of the Federal Parliament House during their visit to Australia. The Duke and Duchess had replied that they would be very’ pleased to accept the gift, and the Lord 'Mayor pointed out that with these fabrics at the exhibition many thousands of visitors would be attracted to Manchester. In the discussion that followed, it was suggested that each exhibitor at the exhibition might snbnii* one fabric so that the textile trades might be fully represented, and Her Roval Highness have a wide choice for selection. Other sugestions concerned the Duchess’s favourite colours. The matter was left for .the consideration of the Lord Mayor and the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
