The Royal Cambrian Academy of Art. Once again we are on the eve of the public opening of the Annual Exhibition of the pleasant Whitsuntide resoit Plas Mawr, with its wealth of Art work. This year, it must be said that, if the works-of-art shown on the walls of Plas Mawr are not so numerous as in some former years, the quality of those that are on view is of a high standard, while the general ensemble is sure to please the visitor At this time of the day, it is surely unnecessary to say anything about the charm which hangs about the building itself, or to enter into any description of the old Elizabethan Mansion, in which the treasures of the Cambrian Academy yearly find a home. Everyone knows all about that by this time, so we will pass at once on to a discursive (and by no means critical) considera- tion of the pictures, our only concession to system being the taking of the rooms in order. On entering the first room in the building, one is at once reminded of the flight of time by the spectacle of three characteristic works of the Jate Mr J. H. Cole, which fill up one side of the room on the left as you enter, entitled A Water- fall on the Dulyn," Winter slumbering in the open air, wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring," and Haymaking on the Marsh." They are in Mr Cole's best style, and full of the spirit of the true artist. In No. 10 we have one of Mr Charles Potter's peculiarly effective reproduc- tions of climatic effects, entitled "Drenched." Mr Potter is facile princeps at this kind of work, and the title of the work is so effectually realised that one almost feels the wet of the tremendous downpour depicted streaming down on the two figures, one of them mounted on the bleak moor- land, and the atmospheric effects are capitally brought out. Mr Cockram's striking little study I. When skies dipt down to sea and sand, next attracts our attention, as it must inevitably do that of all visitors to the Exhibition, while from this really clever work to No. Mr Elias Ban- croft's "College Chums," is but a mental (or rather, visual) step, and one leading to a charm- ing little group of two Blue-coat Boys in the cool cloister uf some college, who are amusing themselves by inducing a little dog to stand on his hind legs. There is in this picture all the elements of a problem for a painter, a problem which, for its successful solving, is bound to task to the utmost both the artist's skill as a draughts- man, and his power of dealing with perspective, and last, but by no means least, his ability to manipulate the subtle atmospheric effects of light seen through glass. In every detail, Mr Bancroft has come out with flying colours, especial note being necessary of the cool shade of the cloister, and of the admirable perspective of the same ending in the small room at the other end. It is certainly a picture before which many will long linger, and which probably many will wish to buy. Mr MacDougall has a very pleasing picture (No. 6), entitled When the shade is on the river. And the sun is on the hill." The manipulation of the lights in this work is excellent, but perhaps it is most successful on the water. Mr Oliver Barket- in his" The Gate Towers, Conway Castle" (No. 3), gives us a very striking—but, we must add, too imaginative—picture of a \ery notable portion of the old Castle; the colouring is rich and true. A Winter song" (No. 2), by the late Mr S. Sidley, is a charming idea, prettily worked out, showing a pretty little girl standing on the snow- covered carriage drive of a large mansion, intently listening to the song of a robin redbreast perched open-mouthed on a branch close to the little mite of humanity, and about the level of her head here again, the colouring is true to nature, and the general effect is pleasing. Mr Hamilton Marr has many of his characteristic pictures in this year's Exhibition, but none more beautiful than No. 13b, Mists, with ceaseless change, Now clothe the monntain's lofty range, Now leave their foreheads bare." The complicated problem involved in a subject indicated by such a title can be imagined, and it only remains for us say that Mr Marr has conquered all the difficul- ties involved in the most satisfactory manner. IN ROOM NO. 2 the piece de resistance is undoubtedly Professor Herkomer's Portrait of the Bavarian Prince Regent," a triumph of flesh-painting, while, in the same room, Mr F. T. Sibley is worthily repre- sented by his lovely Falls at Pont y Pair (No. 17). Mr Meyer's "The Farmer's daughter" (No. 18), is a peaceful bit of scenery, but the principal figure in it is somewhat lackadaisical at first sight; a closer inspection, however, reveals points which might easily be overlooked during a hasty glance. In No. 29 we have, by Mr Paul Knight, a capital portrait of the genial and popular Curator of the Royal Cambrian Academy Mr J. R. Furness and in the same loom, Couu- cillor A. Netherwood gives us a most effective view of a portion of "The Little Orme's Head" (No. 27), which is an admirably selected and painted bit of this famous headland. No. 36, Mr Swinford Wood's effective picture of a view in the locality, entitled "Overlooking Pen Sychnant," is remarkable for its breadth of treatment, and the breezy atmosphere petvading the whole scene. Passing on to THE VICTORIA ROOM, we are at once plunged into the very bower of artistic bliss as afforded by the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art. The spacious gallery enables the Hanging Committee to group large numbers of pictures to the best possible advantage, while the splendid lighting of the room gives each picture an almost equal chance of being seen to the best advantage. The general effect is at once seen to be a very pleasing one, and the eye is at once attracted by Mr Finnie's great work, "Close of a Stormy Day in the Vale of Clwyd (No. 84) it is a picture which was exhibited at the Paris Salon, and received the award of "Mention Hotiorable,it rightly occupies the place of honour in the Victoria Room, and is sure to be the cynosure of many eyes during the Exhibition. But, quite apart from this very fine work, the room is full of beauties. Among these, must be named Mr Lawson Booth's Eagle Tower, Carnarvon Castle" (No. 169), even although we are bound to point out that the drawing of the far-famed tower, or rather group of towers, is characterised by the novice's mechanical accuracy and rigidity rather than the master's tree and flowing touch. The picture is, however, richly and beautifully coloured, but even this does not hide from our eves the fact that Mr Booth has piled round the foot of the tower a larger assemblage of vessels than probably ever toregaihered in Carnarvon harbour itself at one time, let alone at the foot of this particular tower, and coloured them too with tints more suggestive of \Vhitby than of old Segontium. Nevertheless, the work is one of extreme merit. Mr Booth has close by (No. 76), a much less objectionable bit of work in his "Low Tide, Conway," respecting which it would be difficult-if not impossible—for even the most captious critic to say a hard word, unless it might be suggested that the grayness of its tones is somewhat far-fetched. Mr Grundy's "The Flowing Tide" (No. 75) next catches our eye, and charms at once with its quiet beauty, and close to it will be seen one of the gems of the collection in Mr J. C. Salmon's "Early Spring Morning on the Beach, Deganwy" (No. 78). Mr Prescott-Davis sends, in No. 95, one of his char- acteristic studies of the nude, "The Shrine of Flora," and, in this effort, avoids some sins of lack of proportion vvlrch are sometimes attributed to him, the drawing as well as the colouring being exceptionally good. Mr Clinton-Jones compares favourably with any exhibitor in the room, with his "A Summer Afternoon" (No. 99), while in a cognate subject, "Summer (No. 162), Mr Fisher gives us another delicious little gem, observations which apply to Mr Meyer's charming little bit of painting, "Sunset Glow" (No. 92). The President (Mr H. Clarence Whaite, R.W.S.), in 109, "Mountain Mist-Sunrise," treats us as usual to a ciaggy mass of mountain scenery, rolled in mist, with a glaring sun battling with the rolling- clouds. The details of this work are more satis- factorily worked out than in some others of the President's works, and the whole produces a very satisfactory effect. Mr Jas. T. Watts, in i i i, "Autumn Mist ontheWharfe, neartheStrid," and Mr Sheridan Knowles, in his "A Reverie" (No. 112), present the visitor with altogether exceptional beauties of painting, while Mr Paul Knight is sure to be complimented (if not some- thing more) for his work, "The Skipper" (No. 130). A word of commendation is also due to Mr Chisolm Cole for his "On the Moors" (No. 139), while many will be charmed by Mr Hayes' "A Pastoral" (No. 133). In 137, Mr Joseph Knight's "A Northern Headland," we have another of the most notable works of the year, one which is sure to draw round it for long periods a crowd of admiring visitors. The late Mr Sidley is here again worthily represented by his "Sally in Our Alley (No. 145), a charming idyll which is sure to please, both on account of its intrinsic merit as a work-of-art, and on account of its subject. In 151, "The Rival Camps," by Councillor A. Netherwood, we have a picture which will bear a close inspection, and will also afford both instruction and amusement to the visitor. Mr Paul Knight has also a striking likeness of Dr R. Arthur-Prichard, Mayor of Conway. Next in numeric order, comes a work by a new member of the Academy, but by no means a new hand at the work, viz., Mr Elias Bancroft's "Betteln, Verboten" ("Begging For- bidden," No. 162) we will not attempt to expatiate on this work, but we strongly advise our readers to look at it,—for how long, depends on their individual capacity of enjoying a really good thjng when they see it. Mr B. S. Mark's "Still Life (No. 158), is as perfect a specimen of this kind of work as can be imagined. In 172, "On the Banks of the Mersey, Eastham," Mr Jas. Toweis gives us a charming bit of riverside scenery, while, in "Off Yorkshire Coast" (No. 196), Mr A. Kinsley gives us a bit of pure sea- scape admirably painted. Passing on to NO. 7 ROOM, we are at once struck by the exceeding beauty of Mr P. Glietit*s When Winds are Fair, and Seas are Calm (No. 256), and by the delightful treat- ment which Mr Joseph Knight, R.I., accords, in its neighbour, No. 255, to the subject of An Upland Pasture." Another haphazard glance round shows us Mr Crozier's charming Harvest on a Mountain Farm (No. 214), while Mr J. Slater charms us in a different manner with his delicious little gem, No. 213, "A Field Path to Conway." In No. 228, It is better to dwell in a wilderness than with a contentious and angry woman," Mr J. Finnemore expresses, with humour and fidelity of work which must charm the looker on, a great truth, and, in No. 248, Mr Parker is conspicuous with a bit of very excellent drawing. Again, we come across evidence of the President's versatile brush, in the shape of a very wintry scene entitled Winter's Snow (No. 251), while, not far off, the rich tints of Mr A. W. Ayling's splendid Autumn" (No. 242), supply a refreshing contrast. Mr Jas. T. Watts also comes before us again, with a charming bit of work in his "A Road from the Mountain Farm (No. 240), while, in his "The Lingering Mist of Morning" (No. 266), Mr Sibley once more asserts himself and the claims to notice of his work, with one of the most beautiful (we speak as mere spectators) bits of painting in the whole collection. The next picture which catcl)es our eye is that of a gentle- man whose name we have not so far noticed, namely Mr Reginald Smith, who, in his "Where those long swells of breakers sweep (No. 270), gives us one of the very best impressions of the huge, slow, and heavy upward swing of the great sea-masses we have seen for a long time. Mr Walter Severn, President of the Dudley Gallery, sends in a glorious work, "Among the Islands, West Coast of Scotland" (No. 273),and with this all too brief and hasty glance at the treasures this year heaped up in the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art's Exhibition at Plas Mawr,Conway, we must close. The Exhibition will be thrown open to the public on Whit-Monday. We must congratulate the Hanging Committee on the very satisfactory manner in which that thankless task has been carried out, and we can assure the visitor that, even to the very last picture in the very last room, the interest in the collection will be sustained, for, unlike some places, at Plas Mawr the last pictures in the last room are not the most inferior, but contain among them some of the choicest works of the whole collection.

Gwynedd Ladies' Art Society. The third annual Exhibition, in the Round Room, Conway, of the Gwynedd Ladies' Art Society, of which the Lady Augusta Mostyn is President, and Miss Colyer the Treasurer and Hon. Secrstary, shows a distinct advance upon previous exhibitions, both in the general levelling- up of the work shown, and by the increasing per- centage of really excellent works shown, whilst the proportion of pictures that might well have been excluded has now become very small indeed, this class of what may be termed" ineli- gibles having been limited this year to only two (or possibly three) examples. One or two other pictures were received although not mounted strictly according to rule, but it is hoped to have these exhibitors' carelessness remedied ere long, possibly before the public are admitted on Whit- Monday. The general appearance of tne room, apart from the blemishes mentioned, is artistic and pleasing in its harmonies, and does great credit to the JHanging Committee (Mrs Sophie Marr, Miss Holmes and Miss E. Bellis.) Among many masterpieces it is difficult to know which pictures should be left unmentioned this

TWT T3 A 13 Tf L_j" After 45 years practice as a Medical Electrician, ■1VA A\.» A^ • A AI\lvdrO^ at Derby, is now prepared to treat patients at his Residence, BRIERFIELD, Mostyn Road, COLWYN BAY, FOR THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS: Asthma, Bronchitis, Influenza, Quinseys, Sore Throats, and all Chest Affections, Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Paralysis, Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Circulation, etc., etc. PAMPHLETS OFl TESTIMONIALS AND TERMS ON APPLICATION. NERVOUS EXHAUSTION.—I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the wonderful efficacy of Mr. PARKES' treatment by Electricity. Being prostrated by severe nervous exhaustion following an acute attack of influenza, I consulted several doctors, including a specialist, without, however, obtaining relief. I then placed myself under the able direction of Dir. Parkes, who, I am happy to say, restored me to my accustomed good health. By Mr. Parkes' system, the curative current is conveyed in the most pleasing gentle and soothing manner, free from shocks and interruption. I have witnessed many remarkable cures, several patients having been given up by their doctors. Mr. Parkes has made the therapeutic of Electricity a life-long study, and I have every confidence in recommending his perfected system to the weakest and 1I1..st nervous invalids.-W. WEBSTER, 116, Uttcxeter Old R"ad, Derby, April )th, 1897. 428—52

Cowlyd Water Supply-Board. THE RECENT ARBITRATION. The award of the Umpire (Mr Balfour Browne, Q.C.) on the recent arbitration has just been taken up by the parties to the issue. It will be remembered that the question at issue was whether the Joint Water Board or the local Con- stituent Authorities should bear the expenseof tiio extension of the new main from Sarn Mynach to Llysfaen. The Conway Town Council, as a Constituent Authority objected to the works being executed at the expense of the Joint Board, hence the arbitration. Mr Balfour Browne, it is reported, has now decided that the expense of the new main from Sarn Mynach to Tygwyn, on the borders of the Colwyn Bay Urban District, shall be defrayed by the Joint Board; from thence through the Colwyn Bay District by the Colwyn Bay and Colwyn Urban District Council and through Llysfaen by the Rural Authority of the Conway Union. Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P. (instructed by Mr Thornton Jones, Bangor), was counsel for the Corporation of Conway Mr E. Honoratus Lloyd (instructed by Messrs Cham- berlain and Johnson, Llandudno) appeared for the Joint Board and Mr S. Moss (instructed by Messrs Wm. Jones, Porter, and Amphlett) for the Colwyn Bay District Council). Mr Mansergh, C.E., and Mr Thomas Jones (Messrs Tapp and Jones) were the Arbitrators. The result of the Arbitration will represent a saving to Conway of about ^2500.

week in what must be a far briefer notice than the importance of the works shown would prima facie call for, but circumstances are imperative. Hence the omission of notable pictures or classes of work must not be taken in any sense as a reflection upon the quality or merit of the work, this notice being of a discussive nature. On entering the Round Room, the first large work to attract attention is No. 16, "Gather the roses while you may," by Miss Daisy Dutton, whose picture shows a distinct advance upon that shown by this artist last year, an advance only to be accounted for by unmistakable genius allied with a disposition to spare no pains or time in a ceaseless effort to attain a yet higher level. Thr: same remarks, we may here note, apply to No. 107, Pensioned off," a broken-stringed vioiin, by Miss E. M. Hughes. These two artists should, however, have sent more than one example each to the Round Room. Miss C. A. Ma-nn (Mrs Sibley) sends several pictures, best amongst which is the little gem entitled Durham Cathe- dral" (No. 33). Miss Dora Woodcock's repre- sentation of Llyn Siberi, above Talycafn" (No. 35) is a happy view of a romantic lakelet too little known. Continuing improvement is shown each year by Miss Edith Bellis, who shows seve- ral paintings, of which No. 103, A distant view of Puffin Island and Anglesea," grows more pleasing on each renewed inspection this artist's magnum opus this year is No. 123, which is decidedly badly hung, being placed in a very bad light, perhaps because it is the only black-and- white work in the exhibition, a circumstance the more regrettable because it is distinctly clever. Miss Colyer is represented by several examples, of which Nos. 24, 51 and 95-all three seascapes —are very captivating, the last-mentioned, which is entitled A grey dawn being the gem of the exhibition, and a perfect harmony in colouring. On the screen of honour, this is flanked bv two fruit-pieces (Nos. 94 and 96) by Mrs Sophie Marr, who depicts idealised grapes, plums and other fruits so realistically as to make one's mouth fairly water, and to cause one to wish that such delicious fruit could be found within the realms of nature the iridescence and reflections on the glasses painted in these pictures are well man- aged, and triumphs of which any artist might well be proud. Underneath the three pictures last mentioned is Miss E. Blackwell Holden's "On a Perthshire moor" (No. 97), in which cattle are shown coming across a sea of heather, under the hot sun, to a cool strean. meandering through the wide expanse of moor. The com- parison of Nos. 71 ("Tinker ") and 81 (" Study of walnut trees") by Miss Mostyn, makes one wish that artists would confine their attention more to specialities, and so give the public the pleasure of contemplating more of their best work, for, whilst No. 71 is a wonderfully clever representation—a speaking likeness, indeed—of a dog, No. 87 is nothing extraordinary. Places of honour have deservedly been assigned to Miss Lily Whaite's "The bird of night" (No. 61), a splendid por- trayal of an owl amid foliage, seen by a glimpse of the moon and Miss Ethel M. Sidley's Look- ing for Santa Claus" (No.1 (4). With the men- tion of the last-named artist's Nos. 44 and 50 (two capital likenesses of Eryd, daughter of J. Glynne Jones, Esq." and Master Wilfred Lewis ") we must now bring to a conclusion our remarks upon a collection deserving many pro- longed inspections.
