decoration, and Mr. Bodley has declared himself
satisfied with the result. The wood-carving was
done by H. Wibberley, and the leather work by
Minnie King and Arthur Smallbones.
At the Dowdeswell Galleries last month Mr.
Walter Crane showed an interesting series of
water-colours of India and Ceylon made during
his recent tour in the East. These drawings, by
their dignified simplicity of conception and strength
of execution, merited careful consideration. Par-
ticularly impressive were the Snow Peaks of the
Himalayas, from Darjeeling., and Kinchin-Junga,
from Darjeeling—Early Morning., awe-inspiring
in their suggestion of an indefinable solitude.
Another striking composition was The Taj-Mahal,
with the great temple bathed in the pale, weird
light of the moon, giving to the scene a sense ot
the mystery and silence of the night. Amongst
other fine achievements we noted The Maharajah's
Palace, Udaipur, After Sunset — Gwalior, and
The Great Gate of the Temple, Tanjore.
The International Art Gallery in King William
Street was, during May, devoted to the exhibition
of the London Sketch Club. Among many notice-
able works were pictures by Messrs. Hughes-
Stanton, Dudley Hardy, Walter Fowder, Geoffrey
Strahan, W. Lee Hankey, Bene Bull, John Hassall,
S. Baghot de la Bere, David Wilson, Lance
Thackeray, and sculpture by Messrs. Adrien Jones
and Courtenay Pollock.
A small room at the Mendoza Gallery was
occupied last month by some admirable water-
colours of English flower gardens, the work of
Miss Lilian Stannard. The skill displayed in the
selection and rendering of the subjects was such
as to place the collection on a higher level than
that usually reached in exhibitions of this character.

LIVERPOOL.—The recent comprehensive
exhibition of students’ work in the City
School of Art, at the Walker Art Gallery;
brought out very noticeably the steady
maintenance in the good
quality of painting and
drawing from the life, and
the advance made in mo-
delling. Examples of good
anatomical study of the
male figure in action, by
Thomas Shaw and George
Capstick, and The Miner,
by Robert Blackburn,
displayed very even
merit. A life - size study
entitled Bacchus, by
by jessie beswick Robert Shearer, intended
decoration, and Mr. Bodley has declared himself
satisfied with the result. The wood-carving was
done by H. Wibberley, and the leather work by
Minnie King and Arthur Smallbones.
