R. E. THE GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION,

In order that the necessary Arrange menta may be made in connection with the Fate in the Public Gardens which will follow His Excellooey the Governor's Reception at Government House on the evening of Thunday, June Rind, the Celebrations Committee will be glad if all who proposes to attend the Reception will be good enough to sign their names on lists which are being provided for this purpose.

Cast your memory back, if you can, twenty or thirty years, and recall the Royal Academy exhibitions of 1881 or 1891, writes Me C. L. Hind in the Chronicle, "What a change!

Nature is visible in many of the land scapes, in the figure pictures the lack of something to say is painfully svident, and the vacancy is too often shown by the recourse to sentimentality on the one hand or costume painting on the other Somit artists seem to have a burning desire to find a subject, but are so uncertain of what they really want that more fantasti. calness results."

The sculptors especially have a most legitimate grievance. They are, on the whole, having a better time than for many years past. Really good work is being done, and yet the Academy can give them bare space for warehousing, and none for adequate display of more than a very few azhibita."

The valid objection to working out upon canvas more literary anecdote or plot has sunk too deep or been carried too far, and in avolding these pitfalls âgure-painters of mora than utdinary capacity have practically ceased to produce the kind of work which holds the gallery-goers in 1599 groups about farourite pictures of the
