iron, also by Mr. Edward Spencer, is not to
be overlooked in a mention of the various
things in metal which we meet with in
the Exhibition, and his panel for an altar
rail, executed by Messrs. Walter Spencer
and Fred Job, is a design of unusual
interest and distinction. There are some
experiments in inlaid metal by the
Metallic Ornamentation Co. not altogether
valuable in design, but it is an interesting
question whether there is a future for what
we believe is a process of new invention.

exhibits which cannot easily be classed in

quite modern hands. Some dainty draw-

reproductions are exhibited by Mr.
