Two exhibitions of garden pictures were held IT ANCHESTER. — The Manchester
last month. Miss Mima Nixon, who showed at l\ /■ Academy of Fine Arts has given a good
1V1
fehe Fine Art Society's, has considerable art in com- I \f I account of itself this year. The annual
posing her subject, in suggesting the distances of JL ▼ X exhibition, which was held as usual at
long garden walks, and the levels of lawns ; the the City Art Gallery in February, contained evidence
flowers she simplifies with much skill. On the of much sincere work, and the whole tone of the
other hand Miss Parsons—whose work was on view exhibition was encouraging. One missed the
at Messrs. Dowdeswell's—is best in detail; it is a pictures by the late W. H. Clarence Whaite, who
feeling for flowers, rather than for the mystery was president of the Academy for so many years
and the perspectives of gardens that seems to and whose work always added distinction to the
guide her. Both these artists work entirely in exhibition. His place was filled this year by Mr.
water-colour. . John Ely, F.R.I.B.A., who was elected president,
_ Mr. Byron Cooper being elected vice-president.
Mr. G. Spencer Watson also has been exhibiting The landscapes especially were of good quality,
at the Fine Art Society's. The exhibition included showing a marked advance in the work of some of
portraits and landscapes
in oil. Across the Fields
to the Sea, Studland, was
the most notable and
stimulating of his land-
scapes, but the neigh-
bourhood of Poole had
afforded him much in-
teresting matter in cloud
effects over the harbour,
and the scenery of cliffs
and clay diggings. The
two or three portraits were
distinguished in character.
The annual Costume
Ball of the Chelsea Arts
Club, which has come to
be one of the chief social
functions of the early
London season, was held
at the Royal Albert Hall
on March 4 and alike as
regards the attendance,
the almost infinite variety
of costumes and the
general organisation, was
a brilliant success. Red,
green and yellow — and
especially orange—
seemed to be the colours
mostly favoured, and the
effect of the whole as the
vast concourse moved
slowly round the arena
to the strains of the music
was most dazzling.
