The judge said the work formed a most interesting collection, particularly the figure and portrait section. There is evidence, he said, that the amateurs are improving en their work. One picture, representing the pains of Christ in supporting arms, gives evidence of remarkable patience of arrangement, and is'most convincing. Another fine piece of work is a Maori woman's head, in which'the skin texture and general treatment are excellent.
