BRITISH EXHIBITION COPENHAGEN EN FETE PRINCE OPENS DISPLAY GOODS IN THE SHOPS

RELATIONS STIMULATED By 'telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received September 25, 5.5 p.m.) COPENHAGEN, Sept. 24 The Prince of Wales gave a vigorous impetus to British manufactures when he opened the British Trade Exhibition in Copenhagen to-day.

The Danish capital was en fete. The trams were be-decked with Union Jacks and the shops displayed British goods. English actors and actresses performed in the theatres. The warmest cordiality and the closest Anglo-Danish cultural and commercial relations are stimulated by the exhibition. There are 700 exhibitors and the trade display of goods is valued at £250,000. The exhibits cover an immense range, from the lightest and most d'licate articles in a woman's battery of cosmetics to heavy industrial machinery for which Britain is famed throughout the world.

British art products make a fine dis play in a museum set apart for them.

The presence of three British cruisers and three Royal Air Force flying-boats adds to the British atmosphere, as do the performances of a British ballet troupe at the Royal Opera House and the daily march through the streets of the city of the Gordon Highlanders' band. Last evening the Prince of Wales attended a banquet given at the British Legation at which members of the Danish

Royal Family and Cabinet Ministers were present.
