INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL MA7CII.

The English and Scotch gentlemen played a
match on Saturday afternoon at the Oval ground,
Kennington, in which old Harrovians, Etonians,
Carthusians, &c., took part. For a long time the
game was carried on with unabated vigour without
any definite result. Sides were then changed,
and by a very successful run down H. Craw-
ford scored a goal on the part of Scotland, he be-
longing to Harrow School. It was very well encou-
raged, and obtained the applause of several hundred
persons assembled. A. Baker, on the England side,
had several times tried hard to obtain a goal, and
at last succeeded, so that the match terminated with
a goal for either side. The following were the
players :—England—H. Thornton,. Harrow ; E.
Bowen, Wanderers; A. Baker, N. N.'s.; W. Crake,
Harrow ; E. Freeth, Civil Service ; E. Lubbock,
Etonian ; A. Nash, J. C. Smith, R. Vidal, West-
minster School ; C. W. Alcock, Wanderers ; W.
Buller, Barnes, F.C. ; and A. Morton, 'Wanderers.

FINE ARTS IN NEW YORK.

-a-

Snedecor's Gallery is already recognised as one of the
best places in New York to buy first-class pictures by
American artists. Mr. John Snedecor, the enterprising
proprietor,
and his courteous assistants, have made his
large and handsome looking-glass and picture-frame st
as well as the artgallery, one of the most attractive estab-
lishments on Broadway. Here may be found a variety of
articles for the decoration and embellishment of a man-
sion—notably a splendid collection of bronzes and sta-
tuette groups, by the famous John Rogers and other noted
sculptors. One of the two galleries is exclusively devoted
to the exposition of a large assortment of choice en-
gravings, of the English, French, German, and Ame-
rican schools. Mr. Rudolph Fink has charge of
this department. In the gallery of paintings constant
changes are going on, owing to the rapid sales effected,
and the accession of pictures every week or two, so that
crowds of people, representing the wealth and fashion of
the city, are attracted there daily. Among ti ose now on
view a fair number are from the easels of Llme of our
most distinguished artists. Mention of a few cf these will
suffice to show the high class of talent represented. " Light
and Shade," a charming little rustic picture—children
feeding ducks, the landscape part by James M. Hart, the
figures and ducks by A. F. Taft. A choice little "Land-
scape " by James M. Hart, and a little " Marine " by M. F.
N. De Haas, exhibiting some of this artist's extra-
ordinary skill in representing moving water. W. N.
Beard has a fine picture—" Landscape and Deer ;"
S. R. Gifford contributes a clever "Marine ;" and
M'Entee has a " Twilight" landscape, replete with
poetic sentiment. Here are also some fine landscapes by
William Hart, George Inness, W. Thompson, and others.
" Out in the Sun," is by Lambdin. A. F. Tait has a "Cattle
Piece ;" George Hall has a picture of a "Spanish Girl and
Fruits," and "Rest by the Roadside," is an odd picture by
Hennessy. Of course, there aro many other pictures, both
figure and landscape, worthy of mention, if space would
permit, but we cannot close this notice of Sned cora'
Gallery without an allusion to the fine "Bust of Edwin
Booth," in his famous character of Hamlet, by Launt
Thompson. It is a fine specimen of the work of this rising
sculptor—indeed the great actor may congratulate himself
on his good fortune in having two such artists as Thompson
and Le Clear, to hand him down to posterity iu marble and on
canvas. We append the following from one of our exchanges
—B. F. Reinhart's studio : Among the late works of this
really fine artist (who has recently returned to this city
after a long and successful career abroad) is a charming
cabinet picture, entitled "The Faithful Guardian." Its
design is full of unaffected simplicity, and the story is
admirably told. The dog, a perfect bit of character and
artistic execution, is represented as keeping a faithful
watch over his two little friends and playmates—a pair of
truant urchins, who lie sleeping in the grass under the
grateful shade of overhanging boughs. The drawing of
the fore-shortened figures of the children is masterly,
whilst the colouring is rich and in harmonious keeping
with the character of the subject. Mr. Reinhart has two
or three other spirited little pictures underway on his easel.
Among which may be mentioned one, replete with action
and expressiveness, entitled "The Yound Heels of Old
Virginia," which promises to be an exceedingly fine pia
turn when completed. It is being painted to the order of
Mr. Charles Osborne, a prominent gold broker.—Corres-
pondent of Anglo-American Times.
