A. still further addition to tho Baillie Gallery is the exhibition of magnificent etchings by Frank Brtuigvyii, together with another collection,. done in-colours, by Charles Maokay. They were -placed on view for tho first time yesterday afternoon, mid cannot fail to give a great amount of pleasure to the visitor. Very characteristic of Brangwyn and full of life and vigour is one, "The Towpath," and another, "The Bakers," while very beautiful is "The Apse of the Cathedral, Messina," and also "The Old Mill, Bruges." The colouring in those of Charles Mackay is very delightful, notably in "The Fish Market," and in the Venetian scenes.
