sincere appreciation. The society is ful-
filling its purpose in a creditable manner.
In the galleries of the Fine Art Society
there have been, in addition to the collec-
tion of pieces of sculpture by Mestrovic,
shows of water-colours by Mr. W.
Egginton, etchings by Mr. Brangwyn,
and paintings and drawings by Mr. J.
Wentworth Russell. Mr. Egginton's
water-colours are memorable for their
firmness of statement and directness of
handling, and Mr. Brangwyn's etchings
for their characteristic mastery; Mr.
Wentworth Russell's paintings seemed
rather superficially clever and not very
convincing. 0000a
At the Beaux Arts Gallery Miss Cum-
brae Stewart, an Australian artist, exhi-
bited a series of pastel portraits and
figure subjects, which were expressive
in draughtsmanship and agreeable in
colour ; and in the same gallery there was
a show of water-colours by Mr. Knighton
Hammond, an artist with vigorous methods
and a sound appreciation of the essential
qualities of his medium, and a definitely
personal outlook. Mr. James Paterson
brought together in Mr. W. B. Paterson's
gallery a mixed collection of oil paint-
ings, water-colours and pastels, which
effectively demonstrated his versatility
as a craftsman and his sincerity as a
student of nature. He dealt with much
success with each of the mediums he
employed. 0 0000
The memorial exhibition, at the Arling-
ton Gallery, of works by the late G. C.
Haite gave a good impression of the
capacities of an artist who held for many
years a position of much prominence,
and did a great deal of very attractive and
skilful work. At the Arlington Gallery,
too, Mr. Charles Simpson exhibited his
sketches of the International Rodeo made
in the Stadium at Wembley—rapid notes
of action and movement done with
remarkable vivacity and sureness of touch
and drawn with admirable truth of sug-
gestion. In the Gieves Gallery there was
a show of paintings, drawings and designs,
by Mr. Louis Davis, which did full justice
to an unusually inventive and accomplished
artist. 000000
