every one who can appreciate fine and mas-
culine craftsmanship.

Amongst other works here illustrated we include
reproductions of A Little Vagabond, by Franz
Hals, a Portrait of a Lady, by Miereveldt, and a
Portrait of Himself by Rembrandt, which were on
view in the Dutch exhibition at Whitechapel; of a
billiard room and a porch in a house at Rich-
mond, by Mr. Claude New, with metal-work by
Mr. Dendy Wray; a decorative panel entitled
Bacchus, by Baron Arild Rosenkrantz; a tempera
painting by Mr. Joseph E. Southall, now on view
at the New Gallery; and the fine reredos, My
peace Lgive unto you, by Mr. W. Reynolds-Stephens,
now at the Royal Academy Exhibition.

Mr. A. S. Forrest has recently had a show of
sketches of Moorish subjects at the Dutch Gallery.
Their limitations do not diminish their value as
examples of the work of an observant artist, who
could choose good material and interpret it effec-
tively. He has succeeded in summing up correctly
many essential details of Moorish life.

BIRMINGHAM.—On a rapid survey of
the exhibited works of the Students of
the School of Arts one was struck by
the enormous improvement in the merit
of the drawings and studies as a whole, compared
with those of ten years ago. The standard of
excellence has grown steadily higher all the time,
and perhaps the vitality of the school was never
greater than it is to-day. One 'naturally looks for
signs of the personality of the new head master,
Mr. Catterson Smith, and very noticeable is his
influence in the drawing and modelling schools,
where he has introduced that system of direct study
from nature, and chiefly of birds, animals, and
flowers, that was so successful a feature of his
work at Vittoria Street. The value of such a
course of study is unquestionable. It teaches so
much more than mere draughtsmanship and colour
harmony, for students are led to interpret for
themselves the values and conventions of form,
texture, motion, and colour in their own way.
There are many excellent drawings exhibited, some
in realistic treatment of one type or other, such as
Miss L. Raine’s clever pencil sketches, and others
