the work of Robert B. McCoy and Norman Riseley.
Some pretty printed muslins came from Battersea,
a school famous in the past for designs of this kind,
and it is interesting to note that one of the medals
gained by Battersea for muslins has been taken by
an Eastern student, Firoz-ud-Din. Not much can
be said for the carpets or for the needlework, of
which there was a very small show. However, it

included two good examples, a baby's cap by
Katherine H. Powell, of Hornsey School of Art,
and a cushion cover designed and executed by
Jessie E. Done of Stockport. Other designs for,
or examples of, applied art that deserve special
mention are the drawing of a panel of a stained
glass window, North and South Wind, by James
H. Hogan of Camberwell; a mirror-frame in brass
repousse by Walter Ray of Macclesfield; and an

leather case for opera-glasses

Leeds students, Nancie Wilson and
Caroline A. Burras.

In addition to the various classes ot
design and work to which reference
has been made in this notice, there
was the usual contingent of art school
studies in drawing, painting, modelling,
&c, forming a considerable propor-
tion of the total number of exhibits,
which was close upon two thousand ;
