Glehn, and works by the
following : — T. F. M.
Sheard, Louis Grier, B.
Haughton, A. E. Bottom-

Swaish, Anna Airy, V. M.
Hamilton, M. Cameron,
and Dorothea Sharpe.
The sculpture is marked
generally by a high level
of performance. Members

presented, Mr. Frampton
in particular, by his large
statue of the late Marquis
of Salisbury, and Mr.
