“THE TWO TREES” (WATER-COLOUR) BY E. A. TAYLOR

W. L. Bruckman, Near Montreuil., by Mr. F.
Mayor, A Study, by Mr. W. Nicholson, and the
bird studies by Mr. J. Crawhall, who also showed
a clever caricature called The Gentleman Farmer,
were perhaps the chief features of the gallery.

We reproduce a photo-
graph of Mount Fuji taken
by Mr. H. G. Ponting,
F.R.G.S., and included in
an interesting exhibition of
Eastern subjects recently
held at the offices of The
British Journal of Photo-
graphy. The admirable
manner in which the en-
largement was executed by
Messrs. Raines & Co., of
Ealing, added greatly to
the artistic and pictorial
interest of the series.

GLASGOW.—The sixth exhibition of
the Glasgow Society of Artists
recently held at the Warneuke
Gallery was in some respects the
most interesting of the series. The President,
Mr. John Hassall, R.I., added distinction to the
year by sending, amongst other examples of his
art, a large canvas, The Beggars are Coming to
Town, which in that subtle characterisation so
conspicuous in all his figure studies, must rank
as one of the best Hassalls seen in Glasgow.
Another feature of the show were two of the
finest productions of the late Bessie McNicol,
an early and much lamented member. A Land-
scape, by John Q. Pringle, an oil, delicate as a
pastel yet brilliant as a mosaic, would have
attracted notice in any group of pictures.
Amongst the other landscapes there were
striking examples by Taylor Brown and W. A.
Gibson, artists with a distinct similarity of treat-
ment ; interesting studies by Cunningham Hector;
portraits by Andrew Law and J. R. Middleton;
clever work by the brothers Orr; and characteristic
drawings by Agnes Raeburn, Jessie King, and
Helen Paxton Brown.
