| = - REMARKS.
Our duties were made more diff
cult on account of there being no
provision made for the following
classification Of pictures-Figure,
landscape (generaD, marine views,
animal portraits, and several ether
natural divisions of painting, all of
which we think should have been
provided for.
We suggest that all pictures here
after be marked original or
copied" and so provided for in the
premium lists.
Having concluded our somewhat
arduous duties, we desire to say
that the results of the efforts Of our
local artists are really praisewOrthy.
While we recognize the many oppor-
| tunities for advancement we are
much pleased with what has been
done. We trust that in future ex-
hibitions improvements may be still
more marked.
Assuring you and the general
management Of our efforts to give
unprecedented decisions, we ask that
our committee be discharged.
