It is the sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, and Empress of India ; it is the 400th anniversary of the discovery by John Cabot of the northern portion of this continent, now comprising the Dominion of Canada ; and it is the thirtieth anniversary of the Confederation of its various Provinces. It is also the occasion o£ the annual meeting at the City of Toronto, the latter part of August, of the British Association for the Advancement of Science; and at the City of Montreal, about the same time, of the annual meeting of the British Medical Association, both of which gatherings will be attended by many hundreds of the most prominent and scientific men from Great Britain and the adjoining Republic of the United States, most of w^hom will embrace the opportunity to visit the Toronto Exhibition. It is therefore a justifiable ambition which prevails among the Directors of the Industrial Exhibition Association of Toronto to make this, their Nineteenth Annual Fair, eclipse all previous ones, and this they are determined to do. The Toronto Exhibition has now attained a world- wide reputation, and the attendance of visitors is consequently annually increasing. It is therefore to be hoped that the manufacturers, agriculturists, horticulturists, anfl all others interested in the Industries and prosperity of the Dominion will this, the Jubilee Year, make an extra effbrt to place before the people such a magnificent display of the products and resources of the country as will far surpass all former efforts. All applications for space and entries must be made before the 7th of August. c:t./^:3;?-Tnr^ Industrial Exhibition Association of Toronto PATRON HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.
