I r J The Evening Pott says ':— A magnificent water-color painting of Milford Sound, by Mr Jphn G«Hy, the pelebrated Nelspn .artist, is on vf^w tqwlay at MrJJabks'bn's. one; of the finest specimens of colonial art we" have yet had the. pleasure: of-'lobljCnftTat, and ...will repay well a visit of inspection, the varied and extraordinary beauties of tbe wonderful Mitfotd Sound scenery- being depicted with marvellous skill. The size of the paipting is unusually large.for-a-water-oolor,' its dimensions being fift by 3ft. It is valued at 100 guineas, and is on its wav to Melbourne fop sale.* It will be fouwarde'd by nest steamer. Mr Gully long has held tho recognised rank of premier New Zealand artist, and the present painting is one of his happiest efforts, indeed, in Mr Gull v's opinion, it is his best work with the single .exception bf the ohe he supplied to the Sydney Gallery. We haye no doubt it will have crowds of admiring visitors during the ensaing week.
