THE ART EXHIBITION.

Third Notice,

Mr T; Ryan exhibits half-a-dozen water colour pictures, one of which, No. 29, " Paul Junction Mountain, Great Barrier," gained 4th prize in competition No. 1. Mr Ryan's colouring is generally cold, and in the present exhibition does not show much improvement in this respect. The " moun tain " in the drawing just mentioned ap pears to be a very insignificant affair, to judge by the flax bush which is not very far distant from it. Perhaps there is a fault in the perspective. The sea pieces by this artist are painstaking, but they are con ventional, and lack force.

In Mr C. D. Barraud's water-colour, No. 38, " Mount Cook from Lake Pukeko," the foreground is the bost portion, the sky being hard and unplcasing. It is hung too high to be properly seen, which is an injustice to Mrßurraud's work, deserving, as it is, of being looked into. Mr N. Barraud exhibits one or two pleasing drawings, Nos. 08, 57, and 73.

From Mrs Halcombe's easel there aie quite a number of pictures, chiefly in oil. This lady deserves great, credit for her d.ligence and carefulness, as well as for the success attuined. But her manner is, speaking generally formal and hard, and some of her work looks too much like botanical illustration. Mrs Halcombe c.pies Nature very closely, but does not seem to make good pictures. The small canvaß numbered CO, by Miss Ridings, is a meritorious work. The mean ing is evident on the face of it; a bueh stream i. finding its devious way to the sea. Tho foliage Imb been carefully treated, and the foreground is distinct and not hazy. Iv many ol the pictures of tho present exhibi tion a glarirg f»ult is the incompleteness of the foreground. It seems as if the artists made rough sketches of what they wished to p^t upon canvas or paper, and then, going away to their studios, forgot what had lain at their feet and just around, and had therefoie been compelled to fall back upon their imaginations. This failing is very noticeable in Mr J. J. Howard's oil painting, No. 42, "AtTe Aroha," the foreground of which is singularly vague and indistinct. Beyond tho tree-trunks there is not a single object for the eye to rest upon, an error which a little more observation would have avoided.

Of native birds there aro several credit able pictures. Miss L. White's "Pigeon and Kakas " (No. 55) certainly deserves tho fiist prize of its class. Miss Morton and Miss Vaile also display talent in the same direction.

Mrs Burcher's "Group of Birds, &c," No. 45 (not for competition), is in several respects a capital picture. The uppermost bird is realistically portrayed, standing out from the canvas in bold relief. Tho hare (?) beneath is, however, flat and insubstantial, and the lighting of the whole is somewhat confused. It is not clear in which direc tion the light falls on the objects dis played. We como now to the flower pieces, of which there is a numerous collection. Miss Fripp certainly deserves the first prize in Class A with No. 20, which shows a great variety of blossoms, well-arranged and well-painted. Some of tho other competi tors display but a feeble arrangement, and that of a very few flowers. Miss Gardner takes first prize in Class B with No. 6, a painstaking drawing, wanting in concen tration. Close at hand will be seen com peting piotures of merit by Mrs Hetley, Miss Lush, Miss Fenton, Mrs Orchard, aud Miss Ridings, Mr Leech's study ,of New Zealand trees, No. 21, is a pleasant littlo picco, soft in colouring and careful ip the execution. It receives a certificate in competition No. 6.

At the western end of the hall Mr Josiah Martin's "mezzotint" photographs make a splendid display. Thoy are in every way a great advance upon anything of the kind we have seen in Now Zealand before. They are adequate and worthy representations of the beautiful scenery of our islands, and should have a place in the Colonial Exhi bition which is to be held next year in London.

As to the loan collection, it is unneces sary to particularise, as each picture is fully described in the catalogue. The studies from life by Miss E. K. Sperry, Nos. 104, 110, 111, are very striking, and evince great power in the artist. "Italian Cattle," by Chialiva (No. 112), is worth examination, The mezzotint engraving (No. 125) "Ascen sion of tho Virgin," is stated to be unique in this part of tlio world. It is the work of the celebrated German engraver of the last century, Charles Hers, after the painting by Guido Reni. Mezzotint engraving is very little practised now, and may be said to be almost a lost art j hence it is pleasing to be able to examine a first-rate example of tho old school. We are informed that LSO was some eleven years ago refused for this particular engraving. In one of the ante-rooms are exhibited up wards of a hundred sketches by the Presi dent of the Association, Mr Watkins. They represent the work of making a picture in all its many stages, from the roughest out door sketch to the finished composition ; and they should be of great value to students. They are, of course, interesting to all others who possess any artistic taste. The Exhibition closes on Saturday next, and we certainly hope that by that time success sufficient to justify the raison d'etre of the Association, and to encourage the members to proceed with vigour, will have been accorded by the public. The character of the Exhibition has been as high as could be reasonably expected, and the same remark applies to the number of objects offered for inspection. A danger-to whioh some of the students appear to be subject is that of imitation, artistic plagiarism, an evil against which the Association is, if anything at all, a pro test. If its members are not original, and cannot paint New Zealand nature as they themselves individually see it, then there lis no reason for their separation from the old Society. With many it is a question whether Auckland is large enough to sup port two art associations ; and there is only one thing which will justify their existence, and that is, genuine success.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The San Francisco Service.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,-~& /jew weeks ago your correspondent "J.M.,"in drawing a comparison between the speed of the Capo mail steamers and those of the Pacific Mail Company between Auckland and San Francisco, asserted that the Pacific service was behind the times, Permit me to correct your correspondent. The distance between Plymouth and the Cape of Good Hope, via Madeira, is about 5,780 miles; and between Auckland and San Francisco, via Honolulu, 6,897 miles. So far from the Cape service having been . performed in 18 days " any time during the last five years," the average yoyage for 1883 was just a fraction over -30 days, equal to 12-04 miles per hour. This, I may add, was not ap proached five years ago. The average speed of our contract steamers between San Francisco and Auckland for the past ten months has been 1223 miles per hour, and the average passage 20 days 2 hours-a by ijo ffloans discreditable performance even in these/'fosi'" days. That our own service is capable of being yery much improved, I freely admit ; but we have i>o need to fall back on the Cape line for examples of excel lence.—Yours, &c, Mekcatob. October 14, 1884.

The Art Exhibition.

{To tho Editor.)

Sir,—ln your Jgsue of October 22 appears a lettor from Mr"Alfred Sfrarpe, from which I cull the following:—" To be sure, J oould have made it a sunset scene and bathed the whole in golden light, but I had never seen it at sunset, and was afraid of committing some local anachronism of colour by paint ing what I never saw—a course that would havo answered for the Society of Arts Exhi bition (where pictures are judged only by art stah.dfl.f4_i), but'not for the exhibition of a Society whim TOrJf's nre in addition expected to dispfay 'glfj&Jy local fidelity." Now, sir,' J dß_jb|_ nojt you have obsorved, as well as a great many others, that Mr Sharpe cannot tolerate hos tile criticism, be it ever so delicate, and he is also so thoroughly satisfied with himself and his pprfpfmances that he immediately takes advantage of tho press to try and justify them. The very spgeppg remarks about the class of work suitable tor' the ex hibition of the Auckland Society of Art sare undeserved, andcertalulysofroro Mr Sharpe, who has had every opportunity afforded him for the fair exhibition of his works. Whether tho end in view for which the new Society was inaugurated has besn achieved, viz., a truthful rendering of New Zealand scenery, &c, I leave the art publio of Auckland to de cide, instancing the prominent pictures in the Exhibition numbered in, catalogue 5, 8,17,18, 30, and 36. In all my New Zealand experience and observations I, for one, have seen nothing like thena.—-Yours, 4c, Me-IJssj. Auoklani. Society Arts.

Dear Sir,—Being a Arm non-believer in patent or proprietory Medicines, my testimony may be of some value to you. Last week I suffered acutely from severe contraction of the nerves of the neck and shoulder. A friend laughingly suggested St. Jacobs Oil, and I invested in s bottle, rubbing it well in at nigU before retiring; The feeling of warmth and counter-irritationjj experienced almost immediately was very strong ; and I am pleased to state that I awoke next morning with hardly any trace ot pain. A second and less prolonged application cured me . completely. A bad chilblain on my car was re moved with one rubbing. You may mention my name as an authority on St. Jacobs Oil,—l remain, dear Sir, faithfully yours, D. Benjamin. GOLD MEDAL, CHRIBTCMORCH, 1882. GOLD MEDAL, CHRISTCHURCH, 1882.
