“ VIRTUE THRUSTING EVIL FROM THE PATH OF YOUTH,” AND “ INDIAN FAMINE RELIEF” : TWO PANELS FORMING PART
OF A MEMORIAL TO THE LATE RIGHT HON. SAMUEL SMITH AT LIVERPOOL, CHAS. J. ALLEN, SCULPTOR
smoke-room. The panel, called The King, in
which reds and greens form the colour scheme, was
executed for a theatre staircase.
Mr. D. S. MacColl is greatly to be congratulated
on his recent departures in hanging at the Tate
Gallery. An important innovation is the hanging of
drawings in water-colour and pencil, etchings and
lithographs in the one room, No V., which has
been cleared for this purpose. Recent acquisitions
are the water-colours by William Muller left by
Lady Weston, and etchings by Whistler, Muirhead
Bone, D. Y. Cameron and Frank Short, lithographs
by Mr. Charles Shannon, a pencil portrait of Mr.
Henry Newbolt by William Strang, and eight
plates by Wilkie, presented by Sir J. C. Robinson
through the National Art Collections Fund. Mr.
Muirhead Bone is represented partly by his beauti-
ful plate of Si. James’ Hall, which was reproduced
in this magazine some time back. The fine ex-
amples of H. B. Brabazon’s water colours are also
among the valuable works of the modern school
now to be seen at the Tate. Room V. contains,
too, the notable studies in sanguine by Alfred
Stevens for his Isaiah, the cartoon itself of Isaiah
for St. Paul’s Cathedral being in an adjacent room.

LIVERPOOL.—A general appreciation of
the late Right Hon. Samuel Smith, who
strenuously supported many schemes of
world-wide range, productive of benefits
to his fellow-men, led to a public subscription for a
memorial to be erected in Sefton Park. The recent
unveiling of the memorial by the Lord Mayor of
Liverpool was attended by a large gathering
of other prominent citizens. The memorial con-
sists of a polished red granite obelisk 60 ft. high on
a pedestal, the architectural details being designed
by Messrs. Willink & Fluckness. The two panels
here reproduced, representing Virtue thrusting
Evil from the Path of Youth, and Indian Famine
Relief which, together with a medallion portrait
and a descriptive tablet, occupy the four sides of
the pedestal, were all designed and modelled by
Mr, Charles J. Allen, and cast in bronze by Mr.
A. B. Burton, of Thames Ditton. H. B. B.
