(By Tclwrraph.—fipcclnl Oorrecrondnnt.) Auckland, May 23. The encouragement of painting in the Dominion of typical scenery was strongly advocated by the Governor last nwht in. his speech at the opening of the Inhibition of the Society of Arts. Excellency expressed himself as keenly interested in painting, and said that it was a, matter for somo regret that New Zealand Art Exhibitions contained so maiiv pictures of European scenery. Italian, bwiss, and English scenery were catalogued in numbers, and yet Sew Zealand possessed beautiful scenery of a unique kind. It seemed to him that everything popblo should be done to let the kn^ all they could about tho Dominion, lio had been greatly impressed '' 10 in Now Zealand, and lio would rather seo it pictured than Lata Como, °r" | fa " t n in Brittany, or mountains m Switzerland. Tho more pictures that wero framed on New Zealand subjects, tho moro the out side public would know of tho beantio9 of tho Dominion. Such pictures would, indirectly, do, much for the' (ho Dominion by encouraging visitors, ilTxious to for themselves the beaut* spots thus represented.
