CXXXIV KOYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Perry. Their baskets and bark boxes were nearly all sold. Garden 

 Eiver Eeserve sent some basket-work towards the close of the exhibition. 

 It was of poor quality and design, and, being unsaleable, had to be 

 returned. 



The Guild, being in direct communication with the Iroquois of 

 Caughnawaga, succeeded with the enthusiastic co-operation of Miss 

 Hewlett and Mrs. Beauvais, the two Government teachers, in getting 

 a really excellent exhibit of bead-work, much of which was sold 

 during the exhibition. What remained was bought in by our 

 handicrafts' shop. Orders were also taken for duplicates of some of 

 the fine work. There is no doubt but that good sales of this worlc 

 will be made during the summer. 



The exhibition proved interesting, instructive and financially suc- 

 cessful. The thousands who visited it came away with a wider know- 

 ledge of the varied skill extant within the wide borders of the Dominion, 

 and the wisdom of preserving and utilizing such powers. 



As a result of the exhibition, the Guild is able to place over $1,000 

 in the hands of workers throughout the country, and also add $400 to 

 the Lady Strathcona capital fund for our handicrafts' shop, Montreal, 

 a fund so necessary that it needs no explanation.
