ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY AND SCULPTORS'
Istrrtreve. —A abort time before his death his Royal
Highness the Prince Consort suggested opening this society's
garden at South Kensington for the reception arid exhibition
of works of sculpture, in the belief that, while for the time
it would contribute to the interest and decoration of the gar-
den, it would also give a permanent impetus to this branch
of art, and lead to its greater encouragement by the public.
The council, in following out the course indicated by his
Royal Highoese, have made arrangements for holding
an exhibitioo of sculpture in the garden during the months
of May, June, sod July, in the present year ; sod feeling
that in a matter relating to sculpture no body is so well qua-
lified to decide upon all the queeticna which may arise not
of such an exhibition as the Sculptors' Institute, have in-
vited that body to take the charge of the exhibition, with
full power to deride upou the reception or rejection of the
works which may be offered for exhibition, the placing of the
accepted works, and all other details relating to the manage'
meat. The Sculptor•' Institute have cordially responded
to the invitation. cud kindly accepted the responsible duty.
In order the better to carry it out, they have appointed the
following gentlemen to be &committee for the purpose,
H. Calder Mamba!), 8.A., H. Weekes, R.A., T. IT.
Foley, R.A., W. F. Woodiegton, and Edward B. Stephen,.
The Royal Horticultural Society have devoted a sum of
506/. for the purchase of one or more approved works of
high art, which may ho shown at the proposed exhibition ;
but the council will not feel bound to expend that sum if no
work of sufficient meta be sent in. A like sum is intended
to be devoted by this society for the same purpose is each of
the two following years.
