Lady Glasgow And Her Daughters.

THE pleasant, unaffected manners of Lord Glasgow’s daughters have been frequently remarked by the numerous visitors who have been honoured with an invitation to Government House, or who have otherwise come in contact with them. There are, therefore, many people who will be glad to possess a momento of the Ladies Augusta, Alice, and Dorothy Boyle, in the shape of their excellent photographs, which appear on this page. Lady Glasgow has already become well-known in this colony, though her stay herein has not been of long duration. Wherever she has gone she has won esteem and admiration, and has made herself exiemely popular. There is not much to be said about the young ladies individually. As yet they have no distinct public personality. Two of them are accomplished musicians. Lady Augusta Boyle plays the violin, her master at Home being Herr I’ower, Professor of the Koyal College of Musicians. Lady Dorothy, the youngest sister, plays the ’cello ; whilst Lady Alice draws and paints. All, of course, speak German and French well. The young ladies are very fond of riding, and sit their horses naturally and gracefully. Tennis and c oquet also claim their attention. They are well seconded in their various out-door exercises by their brothers, the Honourables Edward and James Boyle. The studies of the young ladies are conducted under the supervision of Miss Holroyde, whilst Miss Hull teaches the two younger boys, at least during their stay in Auckland. Our pictures are from the photos most recently taken by Mr Chas. Hemus. In lighting and posing they sre, as will be seen, perfect, and the photographer has conclusively proved that photography and art may and do in many cases go hand in hand. Photographers have vied with each other in courtesy towards this journal, and in Auckland and Wellington in particular they have behaved with the greatest kindness on all occasions. It is hard, however, to do special honour to one or other for fear the others who have behaved just as generously should be offended. Mr Hemus’ photographs as reproduced speak volumes for themselves, and need no further eulogy than this that they are equal to the best work turned out by himself at any time, and that they command instant attention as really artistic sun pictures.
