“ THE RIVER
concluded, and in May the exhibition, comprising
over 500 oils, water-colours and etchings, was
opened in a large building lent free of charge by
the Wellington Harbour Board, and transformed
with a little trouble and much good taste into
an artistically decorated and well-lighted art gallery.
The Council of the Academy, now presided over
by Mr. H. M. Gore, a local amateur artist, to
whose personal enthusiasm and unsparing industry
much of the success attained by the exhibition has
been due, started a public subscription fund, the
Wellington City Council leading the way with a
grant of £1000 and the Academy adding its own
,£500 grant. Leading citizens and wealthy men
throughout the province contributed liberally, with
the result that in all some £-]ooo was raised,
practically the whole of which was devoted to the
purchase of pictures from the collection sent out
from England.
Amongst the pictures either purchased by the

by various local clubs and private citizens were,
amongst the oils, Melton Fisher’s Rose Makers of
the East End ^350 ; Glyn W. Philpot’s Girl at
Her Toilet (Royal Institute of Oil Painters, 1907),
