The days for sending in works of art for the

Academy Exhibition are Monday and Tuesday next. In the mean time, the artists' studios will be open to tbeir friends to come and see their productions. We are strongly tempted sometimes to have a peep beforehand ; but it takes off the edge of novelty, and we prefer getting our first view in the Exhibi- tion, where pictures find their proper level, like men in society. We would fain turn a deaf car also to reports of the wonderful works that are in preparation : these accounts often lead one to form ideas that are rarely realized.
