tion was opened on October 27 by Mrs. E, S, Cunningham. The exhibition displayed works of art by Clab members and without doubt it was the best that Shanghai has ever seen. The quality of the work and the manner of the technique of the various exhibitors showed a very high standard and the members of the art club and the committee can well be complimented.
'A thing that struck the writer was the catalogue, a very beauti-Fully illustrated book, printed in the very highest tyre of printing, with strations, which is distributed free.
Coming to the exhibition itself, fas one enters the hall, there is large canvas of junks by Dr, Arthur de Carvalho, one of the exhibitors, which is striking both for daring trid for colouring and the manner in which the paint seems to have been used. The effect is strong and pleasing. In the main room downstairs there is a very happy and pleasing group of pictures, well ar-Tanged. The water colour section on one of the walls, by Mr. Sutu, the promising young Chinese artist, shows a wealth of, colour and strength. This young artist is leav. ing for Paris very shortly, and his pictures in both rooms are well worth seeing. Their characteristics have a style of their own.
