NATIONAL GALLERY.
GIFT OF PICTURES. (paass association tblegbam.) WELLINGTON, November 12. Mr D. Hope Johnson, of Sydney, has presented to the New Zealand Government a set of six pictures depicting the founding of each Australian State, painted by John Allcott. The historical data were collected by Mr Johnson when the New Zealand cruisers were in Sydney. The latter gave Commodore Swabey a picture of historical Australian ships for the New Zealand Navy, and sent over by him the collection now mentioned. They will be placed in the National Gallery at Wellington when it is built, and meanwhile are on view in the Turnbull Library. Sir Joseph Ward, in thanking Mr Hope Johnson, expressed a desire to arrange with him for a similar series on New Zealand subjects.
