something of Sargent's brilliance. Mr.
P. W. Adam, of late years known only as
a painter of interiors without figures,
exhibits this year a pleasant variation—
a domestic interior in which the leading
feature is a portrait of a lady. Other
portraits of note are sent by Mr. Henry
Lintott, Mr. Henry Kerr, Mr. Fiddes
Watt, Mr. E. A. Borthwick, Mr. Stanley
Cursiter, Mr. H. Y. Alison, Mr. W. O.
Hutchison, and Mr. Eric Robertson,
whose portrait of Mrs. Gordon Shields
is one of the finest things he has done.
In the landscape section Mr. J. H.
Lorimer's work this year is exceptionally
interesting, especially his harbour scene
by night under storm conditions, and
his village street by moonlight. Mr. E.
A. Walton, in his Willow Pool, shows a
fine conjunction of effective composition,
cool colour and realisation of open air.
Two large landscapes by Mr. James
Paterson are notable for their cloud effects.
Low toned landscapes of much merit
are contributed by Mr. Robert Alexander
and Mr. Oliver Hall, and in Assisi, Early
Morning, Mr. Robert Gibb has realised
not only the physical, but so far as these
can be expressed in paint, the spiritual
features of the place. Mr. J. R. Barclay's

Amusette is a picture of Parisian joyous-
ness, the realisation of brilliant sunshine
on foliage being reminiscent of the work
of La Touche. Mr. D. M. Sutherland,
in addition to a virile sketch of a Breton
peasant, exhibits a vision of a fete in a
narrow French street, a feature of which
is the expressive cloud forms. Mr.
Gemmell Hutchison and Mr. MacGeorge
depict joyous child life by the seashore ;
Mr. W. M. Glass, one of the rising young
artists, combines fine colour with breadth
of effect in his Evening, and Mr. J.
Spence Smith, in the Windmill, shows
much delicacy in the rendering of tree
forms; Mr. George Smith's Evening, in
its rich colour and tonal quality, is
reminiscent of Lhermitte. 000
Mr. John Duncan's large Masque of
Love is sumptuous in colour and rich in
its expression of the uplift that love gives
to all humanity, while Miss Cecile Walton,
in To Nobody knows where, quaintly ex-
presses the kinship of children of all
nationalities in their wanderings hand in
hand in the land of dreams. a a
The water-colour and print rooms are
well and interestingly filled, and though
the sculpture hall exhibits do not approach
the artistic level of last year, there is some
something of Sargent's brilliance. Mr.
