HANCOCK ON EXHIBITIONS.

Time is too precious and space in the Telegraph too valuable to justify our wading through the three columns of state Inanities published as Mr. Hancock's handi- work in our local contemporaries, One short quotation will doubtless prove more than enough Here it is:

The writer has frequently observed that while the native craftsmen possess skill and industry second to none, yet from lack of instruction, and perhaps Insufficient Inducement, but little progress is made, even In Hongkong, in a mechanical or artistic sense. In this respect we may recall the condition of the arts and Industries In England previous to the Great Exhibition of 1851; and from that Exhibition may be dated the demand in England for artistio excellence as well as good workmanship.”
