ART GALLERY. 65 
H. Chaloner Dowdall lectured on “ Principles of Art, with special 
reference to the Ex-Lord Mayor’s Portrait.’’ On each occasion the 
programme was augmented by vocal and instrumental music. 
During the Exhibition, a series of “ Talks on Art” were given by a 
number of gentlemen in the Exhibition on Friday afternoons (with 
the exception of the two above mentioned, which were delivered in 
the evening) and these proved a very attractive feature. The 
following is a list of the “ Talks.”
