to a close ; that is the feature of the organisation of
these exhibitions—there is nothing that should
not be mentioned, and scarcely anything that does
not invite particular attention.

We are reproducing two drawings which
Mr. S. H. Sime has made for Lord Dunsany's
books, A Dreamer's Tales and The Sword M
of Welleran. As one of the most imagina-
tive illustrators of to-day, all too little of
this artist's work is seen, and we congratu-
late the author who has secured his
co-operation.

There is a notable exhibition of etchings
at present to be seen in London, namely, the
recent additions to Mr. William Strang's port-
folios, at Messrs. James Connell and Sons'.

At Mr. Gutekunst's gallery recent plates
by Mr. D. Y. Cameron have been shown,
also Sir Charles Holroyd's art in its best
mood, and Anders Zorn's. Through work
shown in this exhibition younger etchers
like Messrs. D. I. Smart, Martin Hardie,
1). S. MacLaughlan, and R. Spence have
done much to increase their reputations.
Mr. Joseph Pennell, too, exhibited some
characteristic proofs.

of paintings and drawings at the Chenil Gallery
revealed this artist's vivacious sense of pattern and
inventive ingenuity. Examination, however, of the
drawing is apt to prove disappointing, because of
the lack of nervous intensity.

The Autumn Exhibition of the Old Dudley Art
Society is one of the best the Society has recently
held, though we miss Sir William Eden's brush.
The Estuary, by Mr. W. S. Parkyn ; The Tub Boat,
by Mr. Lexden L. Peacock; Estuary, by Mr. T. A.
de Moleyns; Old Paris, by Mr. A. C. Conrade ;
Falling Leaves, by Miss Adie; Sunshine and
Shadow, by Miss Mary G. Simpson; Cosses, by
Mrs. E. A. Jardine ; and Merchants, by Mr. John
Hassall, were works that called attention to them-
selves. In Mr. Hassall's case the artist has seldom
been more successful.

Mr. Bertram Priestman has been exhibiting his
always refreshing interpretations of landscape at the
Baillie Gallery, maintaining the high reputation
which has long been his in this field. Mr. A. W.
Davidson's Impressionistic art as seen at the same
gallery is also deserving of high praise ; supported
by more highly trained draughtsmanship his ability
