TWILIGHT " FROM THE CHARCOAL DRAWING BY PARKE C. DOUGHERTY
f &r Paris Studio- Talk)
Miss Kate Cameron displays an elusive charm
difficult to put into words ; and Mr. J. G. Laing,
Mr. R. M. G. Coventry, and Mr. Fulton Brown,
among many others, show very good and strong
work. -
We have pleasure in giving a reproduction in
colours of Miss Ann Macbeth's delightful drawing
Sleeping Beauty, which was referred to in our
recent notice of the annual exhibition of the
Glasgow School of Art.
DUBLIN. — The Royal Hibernian
Academy's Exhibition now being held
in Dublin resembles most of its pre-
decessors, and, indeed, most of the'
exhibitions here, in the catholic spirit which
has animated the hanging committee. A glance
round the walls reveals those singular inequalities
with which we have been familiar from time imme-
morial. Here a beautiful landscape by Mark
Fisher, clear and sunshiny, with that rare distinc-
tion which characterises his work; there a woolly
composition, about which the only things that can
be said with any confidence are that it is the work
of an Academician, and that it was obviously
conceived, begun, and ended in a studio. But
these curious divagations of judgment are the
commonplaces of Academy exhibitions, and we
must not therefore pause too long before the
portrait of a lady by a prominent R.H.A., in
a prominent position on the line, in mute be-
wilderment as to why the thing was ever painted,
and, being painted, why it was ever hung. Nor
must we be too impatient with Mr. Thaddeus's
staring canvases or Mr. Moynan's theatricalities.
Better far to turn to what is really good and
