EARL OF PLYMOUTH'S I GENEROSITY. I .———- < <  -——- CRYSTAL PALACE SAVEl FOR THE NATION. GREAT GIFT. The Crystal Palace has been saved. Thanks to the generosity of the Earl of Plymouth, Lord Lieutenant of Gla- morganshire, this splendid building, with its beautiful grounds, is to remain opnri to the public. In 1911 Lord Plymouth bought the property for £ 230,000 on the under- standing that a Mansion House fund would be raised to reimburse him. In I Jnne, this year the Lord Mayor au- nounced that L90,000 was still needed besides the contributions of ic-Gal authorities, and "The Times" mado a special appeal for the amount, which was subscribed in thirtœn days with the aid of A Private Citizen," who gave J £30,000. Owing, however, to the un- expected refusal of the Camberweli, Borough Council to contribute and the recent reduction of the Peng-e contri- bution from L20,000 to C5,000, there was found to be a deficit of .029,400. This deficit is made good by Lord 'PI;)"- mouth's generosity. Lord Plymouth first gave Ro-,000 to the fund and has now agreed toO sell the I property to the public for £ 200,000, about 1:30 000 less than the sum which be paid for it. It is expected that the legal transfer will be made as from the I New Year.
