ST. PETERSBURG. We
arc indebted to a Russian
critic for the following
notes concerning the Ex-
hibition of Modern British
Art in St. Petersburg : "At the hall of
the Imperial Society for Encouragement
of the Fine Arts a collection of modern
pictures by English artists is now being
exhibited in aid of a benevolent society.
Last year there was a show of water-
colours of the modern Scotch and Eng-
lish schools here, but on the present
occasion the collection of pictures is far
more complete, for it comprises oils,
water-colours, engravings, and even
sculpture. A number of the pictures
have already found purchasers. The
