approach to perfection, but attaining it in such
plates as those of the Dresden set and others.
The octagonal puipit ihustrated on this page was
a gift from Sir George Hayter Chubb to the
Moulton Memorial Chapel at Leys School,
Cambridge. The general design of the puipit,
which is of Austrian oak, originated with the
architect of the chapei, Mr. Robert Curwen, whiie
the mouldings and panels were designed or adapted
by Miss Anne Hobson, who, with Sir George and
Miss H. M. Chubb, executed the carving. The
lectern, atso iHustrated on this page, was executed
by the Rev. H. J. E. BurreM for his church at
Wigginton, near Tring, Herts, from a design by
Mr. W. B. Hopkins of Berkhamsted. The dark
bogwood intay is very effective.
The Btack Frame Sketch Ctub exhibitions are
aiways very pleasant ones to visit. Containing
chieMy oit paintings carried far enough to count as
more than sketches, and retaining in most cases
evidence of direct inspiration from nature, a refresh-
ing open-air quatity characterised this year's show.
Exceptionaliy successful pictures were ZMywrf

sketches of Mr. Borough-Johnson; two or three

Messrs. B. Haughton, S. Scott, Paul Paui, and

One of the most interesting one-man shows of
the month was Mr. Fuiier Maitiand's at the Ryder

stable and other masters of the English school, he
yet succeeds in clearly asserting his own in-
dividuality and feeling, his pictures curiously
biending later impressionism with its Mrst
traditions. _
