tures and a little sculpture. Altogether an exhibi-
tion of interest above the average.
A collection of pictures, lent by Mr. M. R. Cotes,
01 Bournemouth, to the Oldham Art Gallery, was
opened recently by Mr. Winston Churchill. Of the
187 works some are naturally of more interest than
others. In the former category come Sir John
Gilbert's Timber Wagon and two admirable seascapes
by the late Henry Moore, A Breeze off the Isle of
Wight and Shine and Shower, the glittering light
on the waves of the latter being painted with rare
faithfulness. Mr. Marcus Stone is represented by
The Letter Bag, the composition of which is faulty,
though the figures—two men and a girl—are well
painted. There are two small pictures by Sir L.
Alma-Tadema, neither of which, however, repre-
sents his work at its best. A Cairene street scene,
by David Roberts, is full of animation and vivid
contrasting colour. Bristol Docks, by J. B. Pyne,
A Lock-Keeper's Garden, by Mr. Alfred Parsons,
and some landscapes by Mr. Edwin Ellis are all
of merit and interest. W. J.

the students' work at the Laird School of

of the head master, Mr. Walter H. Chaplin and
his assistants. The number of those students

Sunset in Prove?ice, and Mr. A. Parson's
Poplars, Mr. David Murray's Braes of
Yarrow, Mr. David Gow's Landscape,
Mr. Muirhead's The Old Mill, Houghton,
are all worthy of note. Mr. Hobkirk's
The Flower Market in Paris is another
picture with a particularly good sunlight
effect. Portraits of interest are Mrs.
F. Haworth, by Mr. A. Nowell; Mr.
Tom Mostyn's A Little Norwegian;
Miss Vanessa Stephens, by Mr. Charles
Furse; and Mr. Graham Robertson's
Black and White—a portrait of Mrs.
Patrick Campbell. Other pictures of
merit are The Goat Herd, South Tyrol,
by Mr. Adrian Stokes ; La Louve, by
Miss Winifred Austen; Ground Swell,
by Mr. Rudolph Hellwag ; Making for
the Harbour, by Mr. Eugene Dekkert; silver necklet and designed by f. t. partridge.
