THE NEW ENGLISH ART CLUB.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOB."1
SIR,—The notice of the New English Art Club opens thus :— " Candidates for election to membership of the New Reglish Art Club will not be required to submit works, but their names, duly proposed and seconded must be sub- mitted before election." As this quotation from the constitu- tion of the Club is apt to mislead the general public, I shall be glad if you can find space for Rule 3, which reads as follows :—" Each member may submit two works, their acceptance being subject to the decision of the jury." In other words, members are not necessarily exhibitors, and it is no uncommon thing for an artist's work to be rejected.
That "it seems a:pity that moderation cannot be arrived at by our New English Cub artists," is a delicious piece of advice from one who talks of "a combination of insular conceit and plagiarising tastelessness."—I am, Sir, &c.,
T. TRYTHALL ROWE.
5 Hounds Gate, Nottingham, April 30th.
