a greater success than was anticipated, even by its
sympathisers. The cardinal principle of the
Association is of course the elimination of the
selective jury, but the services of a hanging com-
m:ttee cannot well be dispensed with. At the
annual meeting a novel mode of selecting the
hanging committee was decided on, a proposal
put forward by Mr. Walter Sickert being carried
by a large majority, that all members should be
invited in rotation to serve, the invitations being
issued in alphabetical order, year by year, until the
entire register has been exhausted.
At the Ryder Gallery Mr. Carl Breitensen’s
exhibition introduced us to a landscape artist of
feeling and eminently skilful. Other exhibitions of
interest during the month were the water-colours
of China, by Mr. J. Hodgson Liddell, at the
Fine Art Society; at the same place, Miss Evelyn
Whyley’s Water-colours of Mountains and Lakes,
and at the Dore Gallery Mr. Rodolphe d’Erlanger’s
pictures and portraits and Miss Linnie Watt’s
paintings. The Ridley Art Club, with admission
by invitation, opening for its week at the end of

EDINBURGH.—A vacancy in the member-
ship of the Royal Scottish Academy was
caused this spring by Mr. George Henry’s
retirement to the honorary list, caused
through his residence in London, and the ranks of
the associates have been strengthened by the
addition of three members. As regards academic
rank that honour has fallen to a figure and portrait
painter. One of the new associates is a painter of
both figure and landscape with occasional essays
in portraiture, and the other two are landscapists.
Mr. Henry W. Kerr, the new Academician, has
within the past few years almost wholly devoted
himself to portrait work, which he practices both
in oil and water-colour, and two fine examples in
the latter medium are in the present Royal Scottish
Academy Exhibition. In portraiture Mr. Kerr is
suave and refined; while free in his brushwork his
skilful draughtsmanship is ever evident, and while
