Daily Colonist (1893-10-29) . y andwith a small gloved hand on uiy coatbIobvo, whore 1 can feel it yet. So 1 wont after sorvico to toll tho pas-tor honr much I was pleased with hischoir, etc., but he was gone. Westminster abboy is whoro the Queenwas crowned fifty odd years ago and hasnever since its erection or consecrationgiven .a mush and millc sociable. 1 visited the NatitJiial gal-lery because it was the day when artistscome to make copies of the old you see old and gray artists ]>eg-ging away at copies ot Rubens, andyoung and pretty girl artists — prettierthan any of the pictures they are paint-ing—and all at work regardless of pass-ing and curious petjple.

Then J askod herwhat price she wiia going to put on it,Init she callod an attendant, who arrest-in e and confined me in the Hogarthroom for half an IN TILI-; NArroNAI. ( They are very severe with people whointerfere with artists who are working. Tho works of Turner have been oftencriticised, and e3|)eciallj by the un-learned.

Speaking of tho collection, Iwill say en pa-sant that it was the onlyroom in which no artists were all the other masters had studentsand venerable artists clustered aboutthorn, Hogarths disorderly house wasstill. 1 am not surprised.
