AN OVERTURN. " ,,.
On Monday afternoon Mr. T. feenicic was
driving a pair of horses attached to a van
down Strangways - terrace towards the
North, Adelaide railways-station. When
near the triangular plantation the animals
suddenly turned, and the van was upset.
Mr. Sellick was not seriously injured.
A good general drapery business in one of
Wellington's best business thoroughfares is
for sale owing to the failing health of the
present proprietor. Full particulars will
be found advertised in this issue.
"The Pillar of Salt is the title of a story
of station life in South Australia, a copy
of which has reached us from the author,
Mr. Robert John Clow, who was born
near Alice Springs and who spent much of
his early life in the Northern Territory.
He has also had large experience of pastoral
pursuits in other States of the Commonwealth.
From Mr. A. J. Daplyn, secretary to the
Art Society of New South Wales, we have
received a copy of an excellent manual
for the student in oil and water colors. It
is entitled Landscape Painting from Nature
in Australia," and it contains six full
page reproductions of pictures by W. Lister
Lister, president of the Art Society of the
senior State, as well as a frontispiece and
other illustrations by Mr. Daplyn himself.
The author writes:-"Art, of course, is universal,
but there are many schools, each one
embodying conditions not found in others.
Should an Australian school arise-and this
is probable-its- characteristic will he a
vivid rendering of light, an element which
differentiates Australia from most other
parts of the world. This quality has been
much dwelt upon in this work-my brother
artists may say to excess; but the work is
not written for artists, but rather for the
student, though it is hoped that all may
find something to interest them."
