Ma-earthy Estate havo annually granted substantial sums, to the Academy of Fine Arts for the development of its collection of paintings and other examples of arts, and when mak, ing a grant of £200 this year suggested that the Society might expend the vote Spon a picture or pictures of such Mature as would best commemorate tlie late Mr. Macarthy and his aims in establishing the trust fund.
At the annual meeting of the Society it wasdeeided that that would best be done by having painted a portrait of the late Mr. Macarthy. Suitable photo- ' graphs from which such a portrait may be painted have been obtained, and Mr. Archibald F. Nicholl, of Christchurch, a well-known portrait painter, is' being asked to undertake the commission. The portrait will, in duo cdurse, be added to the Society's collection, which . will later be housed in the Academy's section of the National Art Gallery on Mount Cook.
