No. 224. _Boy and Dog._ BRITON RIVIERE, R.A. Dog unmuzzled, boy hears
policeman's footstep.
No. 235. "_Every dog has his Washing-day._" Pet just been cleaned and
brought into drawing-room. Doubtful reception by Papa and other sisters.
Hardly up to the usual form of W. Q. ORCHARDSON, R.A.
No. 292. Mr. PHIL. A. MORRIS, A. calls this "_La Belle Americaine_." Is
she? The tone of this belle is rather loud.
No. 303. A wonderful picture and portrait, by LUKE FILDES, R.A. "LUKE on
this picture and on----" any other portrait, and you'll find this hard
to beat. Wealth of colour, colour of wealth, _affaire de Luke's_.
No. 318. _Major E. R. Burke._ Admirable portrait, by HUBERT HERKOMER, A.
See how the Master of Bushey has dealt with the Hair! As might be
expected from a Hair-comber with a brush in his hand. Will be remembered
as "_Burke and Hair_."
No. 411. _Mrs. Arthur Sassoon._ Charming. Sweet simplicity.
You'll say this _as soon_ as you see it. HUBERT HERKOMER, A(ngcore).
[Illustration: No. 361. Scene at Dollis Hill.]
No. 463. _Sir Oscar Clayton, C.M.E._ Bravo Mr. F. GOODALL, R.A. Good
entirely. Artist was thinking of adapting refrain of popular comic song,
"_Ask a P'liceman_," and writing under portrait legend--
If you want to know who's this,--
"OSCAR CLAYTON."
But it was unnecessary, as the portrait speaks for itself.
No. 473. _D-T-erioration;_ or, Sir EDWIN ARNOLD, K.C.S.I., commencing as
a book-maker, and laying "two to one bar one." "ARNOLD'S first exercise"
in this character is depicted by JAMES ARCHER.
No. 600. _Tum-Tum The Melancholy_, By JOSEPH MORDECAI. Is HAMAN hung
too?
No. 703. "_Nobody looking, Mother, You can prig something out of the
Money-box._" But the vigilant Verger has his eye on them. Such is the
story told by BLANDFORD FLETCHER.

latch-key. Rousing the neighbourhood with pantomime door-knocker.
Situation graphically depicted.
No. 759. _By the Linn Pool._ By NOBLE. Charming. Must be of course;
_Noblesse oblige_.
[Illustration: No. 487. Primrose Dames.]
No. 794. "_Out shooting._" Very much out, shooting. Nothing to CROWE
about.
No. 886. _A Smile._ Delightful. This Miss is as good as her smile. JAN
VAN BEERS.
No. 1028. "_Please to remember the Ninth of November._" Lord Mayor's
Procession stopped by photographer. "Now, then--wait--where you
are--when I say three!" And as they were taken, so they are cleverly
represented by WILLIAM LOGSDAIL.
