The Eighth Annual Exhibition OF the Amerl-

day night but II may judge by the greatly increased
attendance of the public during the last week, the
doors might have kept open time longer with
advantage. From money making point OF view the
exhibition been very successful The sum or nearly
IA 600 has been received from the sale Of pictures and
on many days there have been more than 1000
visitors TO the gallery, number rarely reached by
any picture exhibition in city. 1t IS also worthy
note that the pictures sold best and was the best

some sharp shooting between East and West the fruit

noted that the managers OF the exhibition had made
every effort exclude poor drawings and TO admit only
the best that were offered. and they far
cessul that generally credtabe display has not
beeu seen before in the Academy. There has been a
great deal OF good done by this exhibition, and much
pleasure given and 1t is certain that an interest has
been awakened the mind Of the artovng public in the
subject OF waercOlor drawing and which can be kept
alive and made fruitful by work the part OF
the artists But 1t is 10 be hoped that the artists will
believe the Of the exhibition has been earned By
work. and is not compliment paid by the public. SO
far as work has been done so far success has
been awarded, and there will DO more and more

now to next years exhibition, for which
already there are promises and preparations 1t would
not be right to say farewell TO the present display with
out some of the services both TO the
public and artists that have been performed by Mr.
Edward Brown who has had charge of the sales. His
laborious duties have been done with equal fathfunes
and fairness and he has done yeomans service in the
practical direction has given to the affairs Of the So
cety MI Smillie the President, and Mr. Nico the Sec
rotary have also been most actively helpful and under
