This was the first use made of the Ladd collection and there has been at all times since a series of framed photographs on exhibition In the lecture-room. This exhibit opened and closed with a free open evening and one or two open evenings have been a. fea ture of the more linportant succeeding exhibitions. The attendance on these evenings has in numbers and interest Justified the experiment. Following the Van Dycks Tvere a series of exhibitions of the early northern artists Durcr. Cranach, Shoengauer. Van EycK, Mem'.lng and others, illustrating the series of lectures given by Miss Osgood under the auspices of the Portland Art Class. For the last lecture of this course an exhibit of Rembrandts, previously planned but postponed for the lecture, was ar- ranged and like the Van Dycks remained in place two months, with two open evenings. From the first of the year, though with some necessary Inconvenience, the collec tion of photographs was drawn upon by the Portland Art Class, but on account of Incomplete numbering could not be generally available. In June, however, the rooms were closed that the work of completing the system might be accom plished and since the reopening. August 1, the collections are freely accessible to all visitors At this time the East Room was opened, where the books and photo graphs may be consulted and enjoyed.

On November 20, a loan exhibition of about 125 original Durer and Rembrandt prints was opened. Appealing strongly, perhaps, to a limited number even of cultivated people, the attendance can hardly be said so far to have" Increased, but the usefulness of the exhibit must not be underrated on that account, and we can congratulate ourselves upon the opportunity of presenting such rare ma terial The influence of such exhibitions upon the taste and Judgment of the pub lic cannot fall to be felt. The important phases of the work of both masters is fairly represented in superior Impres sions.

The latter knew, however, i when they detailed him as chief over ed the Canadian courts from trying land cases, but provided In section 6 for them to be setttled in -England. It Is reasonable to suppose that If Douglas knew this, when he offered Will iamson assistance if he would settle somewhere else and his assistance was civilly refused, he was simply "bluffing" when he threatened arrest and sending to Hudson's Bay It is also supposable. and then from a letter of Dr. W.
