The chief aims of the club are to make available throughout the dominions reliable information on the conditions of art in England and on the Continent, to advise and guide artists and students on their arrival and during their sojourn in Europe, to give members every opportunity of appearing in public, and to promote social intercourse among its members. It is intended to secure adequate club premises—if possible, with, residential quarters —in a central position, and a general meeting of all dominion artists in London will bo called at an early date. The last meeting was held at the residence of Miss N. Rosenwax, Regent's Park, and among those present were Madam Rosina Buckman, Miss Daisy Kennedy, Mr Peter Dawson, Dr G. A. Pfister, Mr Gibson Young, Mr Joseph •Kaye, and Mr H. W. Braithwaite. Air Peter Dawson was in the chair.
