THE ROYAL SCOTTISH ACADEMY.

THE gathering together of sculpture
by Scottish artists and others, who in
some way or other are connected with
the north, makes the 94th exhibition of
The Royal Scottish Academy one that
will certainly be remembered for its
unique display of that branch of art,
which transcends in comprehensiveness
any that has been seen in The Academy's
previous exhibitions. It is not so much
a collection of recent work as a selection
like that which usually makes its appear-
ance in these exhibitions representing
both the past and the present achievements
of the exhibitors, many of whom are
famous on both sides of the border;
and much of the most important work
shown has already been noted and illus-
trated in past numbers of The Studio.
With the present day demand for war
memorials, sculptors have not had the
leisure necessary to do work that does
not belong to this class. 000

Amongst the completed memorials,
sketch models and fragments, the most
important shown include Silence, a figure
for the tomb of the late H. Dillon Ripley,
by Mr. W. Reid Dick. Youth, a bronze
statue, by Mr. Alexander J. Leslie ;
The Refugees, forming part of a war
memorial, by Mr. William McMillan;
the bronze and oak tablets by Mr. H. S.
Gamley, R.S.A.; a sketch model of the
Bearsden War Memorial, by Mr. Alexander
Proudfoot, A.R.S.A.; and the Kirkcud-
bright War Memorial, by Mr. George
Henry Paulin, A.R.S.A. The sketch
model, which is shown in the accompany-
ing illustration, and is slightly different
from the completed work in the academy.
