DESIGN FOR A WOVEN TAPESTRY FRIEZE. BY ROBERT B. MCCOY (MACCLESFIELD)

head by William E. Wigley
of Birmingham (Margaret
Street) deserves mention;
while the modelling in-
cluded some capital work
by Christine Gregory of
Hammersmith, and Albert
G. Power of Dublin. A
good deal of the other work
of this class also was
excellent and afforded evi-
dence of careful training
and artistic perception, but
under the present system
of exhibiting the work sent
up for the National Com-
petition, these studies
suffer like all the rest
of the collection, and only
when adequate space and
more congenial surround-
ings are provided for them
will their merits be duly

noted, however, among the drawings from the life
a good study of the nude for which a gold medal
has been given to Horace Quick of Clapham
School of Art, and of the paintings from the life the

recognised and appreciated. Having regard to all the
circumstances, however, and especially the restricted
space available, it must be conceded that the exhibi-
tion was admirably arranged. W. T. Whitley.
