ART.
Sir,—To his Worship the Mayor I commend the perusal of the following passago from tho "Spectator's", criticism. of the 'exhibition •of tho,Nov English Art Club;—. "Tho exhibition is.full of interesting things; and what encourages the visitor, even in tho occasional .lapses of interest, .'is the consciousness of a. general effort on tho part, of serious artists towards tho expression of what each feels" to be his true talent, •in opposition to the profound depression- produced by tho spectacle at ,the Royal Academy of onorgy squandered to encourage the worst, proclivities of an enormous public without tho slightest education in matters of art."—l'am, etc., * H. P. VOX HA AST. P.S.—I fear, from his remarks, however, that what Dr. Newman wants-in' art are "Raffles," not "Raphaels."
