Characteristic forms of English art discussed by Basil Taylor

Hunting and horse-racing were popular sports in the eighteenth century, and painters provided a vivid record of 'The Meet' and The Kill to hang beside portraits of famous horses. But one man transformed the character of sporting art-the most famous painter of the horse, George Stubbs.

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring.

When spokesmen for all the driving schools in Britain hold their national conference the day after tomorrow they will debate a scheme to control the standard of driving instruction. Would official licensing of driving schools be in the public interest? Do motorists favour a 'closed shop' for instructors? Do teaching methods need to improve?
