By The Way In Art      The Vancouver Sketch Club is decidedly on the up-grade, and the monthly exhibition held on Saturday, though the number of pictures shown was small, indicated a considerable advance in quality. Compared with the work put on the walls of the club-room at 342 Pender street west, four or five years ago, last week's collection was very much more worth while. Several examples by a new member T.W. Greaves, showing delicate handling, and one of them that was mounted in a frame of filigree work, made in Egypt, was an object of art that might well be coveted by collectors. Mrs. Wattie's large flower piece at the end of the room showed dashing quality, good color and drawing; a highly decorative panel. Mrs. McC. Creery's mountain landscape was a water color of much merit. Mrs. Gilpin's strong B.C. landscape in water color and pastel was exceedingly effective.      John Scott is an industrious member of the club, whose sense of color and accurate drawing, combined with pictorial effect, make his work very interesting. M.B. Sutherland is another masculine member, his handling shows increasing intelligence, and the same may be said of the Messrs. Pratt - A. and C.      The exhibition would not recognize itself without a work by the veteran water colorist and poetical painter of the mountains, T.W. Fripp, and he was there with a goodly picture which needed no signature. While some of the pictures verged on an assured style, T.W. has got there, and long ago passed the experimental stage visible in most amateur exhibitions. The production of a style being the result of a very large number of efforts and a consequent experience of the best way to do things, whether in literature, or art, stylists are rare and therefore prizable. Maud Sherman was back with a good sketch; and Margaret Wake, another stand-by and valiant friend of the club, exhibited a telling portrait of a gentleman who had passed his youthful prime long enough to have strongly marked features. Among other exhibitors were A. Power, N. Knight, and Mrs. Winning, who each exhibited meritorious work.
