No q. "The Girl and Rabbits" ]. T Peale.-A
careful and credtably painted picture. Mr.. P. has
made long step forward, during the past year. In
2l9, " The Seamstress,"
respite, however brief!
No pleased leisure for love or hope,
| But only time for grief"
there is very much to commend. 1t is good, both
in drawing, expression and color. No. S45, "An
Orange Girl" is disfgured by the grossness Of the
features Ii being evidently painted from the same
model as the "Seamstress," this defect becomes
No. rs. sWar Chief of the Onondaga's," s.
Thayer. There are three other pictures by the same
hand which do Mr.. 7. more credit than this head.
No. 27S, The Conpoisseurs," and 3l9, slack Fall
staff" highly credltabe attempts in difficult
walk of art the color in the latter is somewhat raw,
but there is much feeling for graceful composition
in both pictures. To those who would know more
OF Mr. T., refer them to his portrait by Elliott,
the capital head we have before referred to, and
which, il Gas we cannot doubt it is) correct like
-phrenologcally speaking-Mr. 7. is an able
man.
AIR. Ingams merits are OF peculiar charac-
ter his productions are wonderful specimens OF
careful and elaborate finish, always graceful In
design, and accurate in drawing, and he Is uniform
y equal yet, with all this In his favor, we cannot
place Mr. l. among the first rank in his profession
In No. %, W. find all these peculiarities-if we
could find any fault with the picture, it would be the
background and distance; the studies In the fore
ground would puzzle many OF our landscape painters
to equal. In No. l79, we find Mr.. !, still more in
his element; the plct RE- to those who admire this
artists style lis almost faullcss-the LETT is most
exquisitey drawn and celored-we have rarely seen
30 fine an attempt at foreshortening.
No. %. Landscape Composition Innes
This is by very young, but promising artist, who
has three other specimens Of his ability, of which
we prefer las; his fairgrounds are wanting in clear
ness and his foliage appears too much as II painted
from other sources than nature.
No. 30. "Portfait OF q Gentleman"-W. Page,
N. A-Thls artist is painting In Boston, where he
PROFESSIONALLY at the head OF his profession He
has pictures in this exhibition TO our liking, and
nole which are any specimens OF his abilities,
which are Of the highest order.
No. 81. "Rec0lections of the Adirondack Noun
tains''-Jesse Talbot-This artist is making steady
and constant progress; he has four pictures on the
walls, of which we prefer the one above mentioned;
it is characterized by mellow and subdued tone,
which is in good keeping with the subject. No.
1855, "Fruit" evinces Mr. T.s abilities in another
direction. Nos. n and l52 strike US as wanting
force in the distances. The sky is too generally
Mr.. It's weak point-his yellows are chrome-y, and
there is apt to be sameness OF effect In all his pro-
ducons-yet these are but trifles to man of such
acknowledged abilit s, and we look with eagerness
for the series on which he has been tor some time
No. 81. "Ambrose Spencer"-By A. w. Twiich-
ell-We think this the best head exhibited by Mr..
T.; as likeness 1t is remarkably faithful.
No. 3d. "Boys on the Sh0re"-T LeClear.-
There is much that is pleasing In this picture, and
the faults are only those OF beglnner-which
we take Mr. LeC)ear to be-the grouping of
the figures is very happy; IT is somewhat faulty
in drawing. portraitby the same hand is less ere.

No. IS. Portrait" by J. Whltehorne, N. A.
Mr.. w. has an established reputation as a portrait
painter, and we do not know that the public would
be the gamer by any expression OF our opinion Of
his merits out we would submit the fact that there
are in the present exhibition no less than thirteen
portraits by this artist in that OF 1912 there were
seventeen, and in the intervening ones, respecta
BILE representation. Among all OF these, there is
one with any pretensions to anything beyond mere
portraits and the inference draw from these facts
is, that like the joint partnership concern OF Waldo
ana Jewett, criticism is evidently neither dreaded,
desired or deserved.
No IS The Fisherman's Requiem" r. A.
Clarke. There is exquisite poetry in this little de.
sign The dead body of a fisherman lies extended
upon the shore, while his only companion, a noble
dog. is howllng forth his requiem the execution is
hardly equal to the design at dlstance
the body OF the dog has the appearance OF being
part of the man. No. 302 is not so good.
No. 81. "Light House" T.. Thompson, A. Mr..
T. excels in pictures Of this description, Of which,
water being unnatural and the ship badly placed in
II. No 326 is better in every respect, and does the
artist mucn credit neither, however, are equal TO
his {" Market Barge, exhibited in l643.
No. 80 Portrait" by 3. X. Fanshaw, A. We
do not like Mr.. F.'s portraits, and we regret he
should nave sent but one NINA ure-ln the last he
has no superior. No. 343 is worthy Of examination.
No. 80. Storm in the Green Mountains" J. X.
NJ Skinner. The effect in this picture 10 good, but
the light is strongly focused the nil II gives
It the appearance OF waterfall. No. II ls better
picture.
No. 10. Portrait" by ]. II. Cafferty. This is
good portrait, though badly hung, there being worse
pictures below it. Mr. Cafferty 10 making steady
pregress No, sH is spirited head, good in hand
