for the term OF 1894. The terms have
formerly run three months. but will hence
forth be four and a half. This plan
Ia axes it possible to commence term on
the reOpening after the holidays.
There were nearly forty-tiye pupils in
attendance. several of whom were begin
.ners in the school. This number is about
all that can be handled comfortably in the
different classes, and it is likely that very
few more will be taken.
AS an inducemenJ to many who cannot
attend the full day halliday classes have
been started that seem likely 10 prove
very popular. This has become possible
through having the new quarters, which
puts u large number of rooms at the dis
pOsal of teachers.
There have been no changes in the
corps of teachers, and the classes will con-
vene at the usual hour. Mr.. Yelland will
take up his lectures on perspective, that
were discontinued when he went East a
. few months ago.
Tie school starts out this year better
than it has ever done before, and the
prospects are that the term Will be most
successful.
The inspection committee on pictures
submitted for admission 10 the Mldwlnter
Fair has extended the time Tor the re-
ception of work one week. The last day
had been fixed for December 30, but owing
to the hackwarIneSs Of work on the Art
building 1t has been decided to receive
pictures until January next
Exhibitors should properly label their
pictures and send them 30 the Mechanics
Pavilion, where the committee will pass
on them and send those accepted out to the
fair grounds. The painters of ali rejected
work will be notified of the committees
decision.
The outlook for local work is not very
promising according 10 what has already
been sent to the Pavilion. About slXtg-
five pictures have been received, which
include the greatest variety Of subjects.
Out OF his lot it is not likely thai more
than ten will be accepted for admission
TO the fair. The ten. however are eX-
ceptionally good and place the standard
high. Many of the pictures sent IN are
copies OF different kinds. None OF these
can be admitted, as the principal requisite
in a picture for nigh art exhibit IS
origin ality. 1t NAV be made rule that
pictures sent must have the artists name
on the blank, as the display Is not going 10
be loan exhibition.

praise from the critics of the English

While in Japan Mr.. Wores worked most
of the time on pictures having for their
motive the life and daily habits of the
people. lie also gave some attention to
landscape, with the result of producing on
canvas some of the wonderful color and
fine atmosphere Of the Orient. Each one
of his pictures has some point of attrac-
ton peculiar to itself and strong in
originality.

pleasing everybody, Their beauty would
be admired by any one, while their strength
OF drawing and color would call forth en-
cOmiums from all artists 1t is possible
