These  artists  and  all  I  shall  refer  to  subsequently
belong  to  a  new  and  flourishing  society — "the  Anglo-
Australian  " — constituted  for  the  purpose  of  holding
exhibitions  in  the  colonies  of  Victoria,  Adelaide,  and
Sydney;  and  after,  to  invite  the  resident  Australian
painters  to  an  exhibition  here.  The  list  of  members  is
long  and  honourable  5  several  of  the  Royal  Academy
magnates  are  on  the  roll  and  it  is  supported  by  the  lead-
ing artists  of  to-day — Mr.  Yeend  King,  for  instance,  one
of  the  strongest  of  our  landscape  men.  All  visitors  to
the  Royal  Academy  in  1889  will  call  to  mind  his
successes;  and  primarily  that  beautiful  type  of  the  old
English  village  street,  down  which  a  loving  couple  are
walking  to  church— for  it  is  Sanday — as  quaintly  told  in
the  not  to  be  forgotten  title,  "  Between  a  Saturday  and
Monday."  At  the  Grrosvenor  the  same  year  was  Mr.  King's
"  Miller,"  flour-crusted,  yet  leaning  over  the  doorway  of
his  grist-room  waiting  for  a  somebody  to  pass,  and
with  a  bouquet  for  that  body — truly  admirable  in
power  of  painting  and  colour,  in  execution  unaffected,
and  masculine  in  treatment,  tender  and  strong.  Here
is  a  canvas  destined  to  teach  the  artist  and  try  the
critic  sorely  to  describe  its  charms.  Mr.  W.  Bromley
is  an  artist  of  the  same  type,  with  much  of  the  same
view  of  nature,  daring  great  things,  and  doing  them
well — his  powerful  water  colours  at  the.  Royal  Society  of
British  Artists  are  impressive  in  their  restrained  force.
