her subjects, she yet always escapes that realism of
mud and mortar which is almost the only rendering
that we see of these historic walls. Perhaps in
this all too short article we have been able to cite
more than one reason why this art has immediately
called attention to itself, and to a certain type of
mind makes special appeal. T. Oldford.
Under the auspices of the Royal British Colonial
Society of Artists and an influential body of Colonial
guarantors, an important exhibition of works by
British artists is to be held in Melbourne during
the months of March, April and May of next year.
The society was inaugurated by a few well-known
painters in 18S6, under the title of “The Anglo-
Australian Society of
Artists,” for the purpose
of organising exhibitions
of pictures, both for sale
and for educational pur-
poses, in the Australian
colonies, and successful
exhibitions were held in
1889, 1890-1 and 1891-2,
bu't that held in 1893,
the disastrous year of
panic and bank failures,
proved a heavy loss to
the guarantors. The
exhibition about to take
place is the firstpromoted
by the society (which
received its present title
in 1904) since that time,
and will comprise three
sections, viz. : — a cor-
porate exhibit of works
by members of the
society; a specially in-
vited section of notable
pictures; and a small
British loan section, in-
cluding already pro-
mised works by Watts,
Sargent, Millais, Burne-
Jones and other painters
of eminence. Mr. Joshua
Lake, M.A., who acted as
managing director for the
colonial guarantors in
connection with the
earlier exhibitions, is
again acting in the same
capacity.

Last month we reproduced various
architectural designs which had been on view at
this year’s Royal Academy Exhibition, and we now
have pleasure in reproducing some interesting
designs by Mr. C. E. Mallows, F.R.I.B.A., which
a'so figured on the walls of the Architectural Room
at the Academy. The first four illustrations are
from drawings of Tirley Court, a house now being
built at Tirley, near Tarporley in Cheshire. It is
fortunate in possessing what is probably one of the
finest sites in that county, being on the southern
side of one of the highest hills in Cheshire, affording
