Mrs Bullock's pictures deserve uotico as being ehuodt tho only attempts in tho Exhibition at figure tapresontation, a department of art goner ally neglected in tho colony. Tho neglect j< oasily explained by the facts that tha cultivation of the arts is comparatively a new pursuit here, and that, thefe is almost an entire lack of oppor tunities. When "lifoclasses" have become J an institution in Now Zealand, \vo may ! look for tho developemont of some artistic fc3ndenoi«3 which are now, for want of scopo, quite latent in out wicldcrs of tho brush. For the present a.ll efforts, or nearly all, are confined t<3 iandscapo, whero indeed thoro 5s plenty of room for improvement. If wo da not mistake, Canterbury is ahead of Auckland in the matter of " life classes.'1 Last year, it will bo rcmomborod, some very creditable, sketches from tho lifo wore «nG up for exhibition from Christohnrch. lliss 3. Onthwaito has two pictnros in the present Exhibition, Nos. 3 and 25. The latter is the moro important. It gives a distant glimpse of wator through a break in a tangled bush, part 3of which tax carefully painted, Tho foreground, however, gives one the idea of confusion, which, it may bo urged, is inseparable from a New Zea land bush scene. Mrs Halcombe, who was lust year tho exhibitor of some care fully-executed water-colours, this year employs, in Nos. Cl and 51, oil as the medium. The colouring is, however, «rude; and it would be bettor if simplor subjects were attemptod. No. 13, "Wait ing for tho Boats," by lira T. Morrin, mani fests considerable taste. Out of simple materials, a very pleasing littlo scene has been arranged. A number of othor ladies, come of whoso names are new to us, contri bute pictures of varying degrees of merit— Miss Abbott, Miss Hossack, Miss O'Hanlon (57), Mrs Wright (55), Miss Kenderdine, and others. The Exhibition waa woll patronised during Saturday evening. On Saturday MrDrummond's oil painting "Evening" (number 22 on the catalogue) was sold to Thomas Peacock, Ew}., M.H.K., for £20.

Wltneaa cautioned htei that if ho continued he. would u-et into trouble. He discontinued taking his horeo und drny through tho land, but ho and his son continued to trespass, and in Anguat, Sep tember, and December trod down his grass and otherwise injured his property.

AN INTERESTING CASE

Tho Wlfo of a Fraudulent Bankrupt

Dlßgorses £1,100.

Ok Saturday afternoon tho local police authorities received information from tho Commissioner of Police at Wellington to the effect that a fraudulent bankrupt named Goorge Townshend had been arreßted on board tho s.s. Coptic just before eho left Plymouth, but that there was reason to be lieve that his wife cumo on to Now Zealand in tho vessel. Sergeant Pratt proceeded on board tho Coptic, lying at Queen street Wharf, on Saturday afternoon, and very coon found Mrs Townshend, who was travelling under tho assumed name of Mrs Weaver. It transpired that before Sergeant Pratt'a appearance on the scene Mra Townshend had received a cablegram, her husband's solicitor advising her to givo up the money she had with her. When Sergeant Pratt made known to her that ho wanted tho "swag," sho at once handed over to him £1,100 in Bank of England

notes. Mrs Townshend has written the following version of tho affair: —" I notice with con siderable surprise nnd indignation a para graph in this morning's ' Herald ' headed 'A Clover Capture by tho Auckland Police.' I beg most distinctly to say that at tho aug- I'cution of tho respected purtsor of tho Coptic fMr Rao), I called at tho Police Office to ascertain if they hud any advices from England respecting my husband's affairs. At the Bamo timo I showed thema cablegram from my husband's solicitors in Leicester, England, instructing me to hand over the money to the proper authorities, and as the police authorities had produced a telegram from the head office in Wellington requesting them to act in the matter,! delivered the money as stated,and now hold their receipt for the samo. This was dono before any" application was mado to me. although by so doing I have left myself andfiveyoung children almost penni less in a strange land. I feel it my duty to state that I was treated with the greatest courtesy by tho police outhor itics, who advised me to return to the Coptic and not to trouble about parting with my money until I was asked for it. When Sergeant Pratt did apply for it I gave it up without either 'eloquence' or 'forco' boing used, just as I would give myhfo if it would avail to save my doar husband from tho trouble which his misfortunes, and not his faults, have brought upon him. (Signed) Hakiuet Townshknd.' Mrs Townshend states that £500 will cover all her husband* liabilities.
