London, Feb. 22.
The Council of the Royal Academy will meet next week to consider the Possibility of extending the period of the Exhibition of Italian Art, which is still attracting immense jerowds daily.
Strong public representations have been made in favour of the Exhibition's continuation beyond March 8, which is proposed as the closing day, and it is known that Signor Mussolini has sanctioned an extension of the loan period until the end of March, There are many difficulties, however, as a considerable proportion of the pictures are lent by private inning the
treasures would also be necessary, art and a continuance of the Exhibition would, to some extent, interfere with Summer Exhibition—Reuter.
