Dkar Sir, — I have to tliaiik you for the pleasure it gave me to inspect the large and valuable collection of English pictures in 3'our possession. I am glad to endorse the statement claimed for them as good and genuine e.xamples of well-known and leading Artists of England, all of whose work have a recognized sterling value in the Art Markets of Europe. Not only this, but many of the pictures are the best examples I have seen from some of the artists, and many of them are familiar to me as having been hung in the Royal Academy, Royal Institute and other galleries. I hope the Art admirers of your fair Canada will support your strenuous eftbrls to i>iace before ihem these high-class works in such a manner as to encourage not only the artists who contribute, but also yourself, in this artistic enterprise. Yours truly, Aktihr Cox, L.A.A. Hoping you will favor the ICxhibition with a visit, and that we will have the pleasure of your patronage at the .sale. ^V e are, Your respectful 1)-, ROBKRTS .K: SON.

This year Mr. Arthur Hopkins has a wonderful sea effect, entitled the " Empty Boat at Sea." The spectator cannot but be impressed with the angry motion of the water. The atmosphere, the wind, and a gleam of sunligl:' are very realistic. It is a broader and more vigorous marine painting than we have seen for some lime, the colors being laid on with consummate skill and remarkable knowledge of effect. — London " Times." 57 The Eiiii)tv Boat at Sea Exhibited at the Royal Academy.

Amongst the most interesting pictures at the Royal Academy and other exhibitions are those of Mr. Charles Stuart. They always attract great attention, and do so year after year. His Scotch Welsh and English landscapes, every one of which are deserving of carefUi study, and though all are painted by one artist, they show such wonderful variety that it is difllcult to believe they nre all from the one hand. Anyone who has studied the eve--- arying effect of light and shadow in a mountainous region will have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Stuart has rather under-estimated than otherwise one of those sudden changes. — " Daily Telegraph." 61 Calm and Silent Exhibited at the Royal Academy. 62 jNIountain Crau's Exhibited at the Royal Institute. 63 64 65 66 12 Mountain Trout Stream Exhibited at the Liverpool Art Gallery.
