composition Of this picture; the back ground how.

composition difficult to execute and which the artist
has not succeeded in efecting The snow which
predomnates to excess, has much the appearance of
| TONERS stores.
No. II. Purchase Of Manhattan Island from the
Indians by the Dutch in 1926, painted by William
| Ranney, associate Possessor james Anderson. A
well grouped picture, but not sufficient sombre col
orng about it to relieve the gaudy coorng that forms
the foreground The principal figure Is Peter Minuet,
the Director General of the New Netherlands; be-
hind him is Isaac de Raseres, the Provincial Secre-
tary; and on Minuet's right is Sebastian Jansen

Of Kentucky Painted by w. Ranney, associate.
Possessor, Edward d. Nelson: Boon is represented
on horseback and is evidently listening around it
any Indians are near. The bold careless hunter is
well depicted, but perhaps the figure is too youthful

Moss. The Village Pastor, painted by D. NJ. Carter.
Possessor, Charles Ely. This picture illustrates
scene from Goldsmths Deserted Village" as given
| in the following lines -
The service past around the pious man,
With ready zeal each honest rustic
Zen children followed with endearing vile,
and puckd bis gown to share the good mans smile"
The old fashioned Gothic church in the background
is well introduced.
mol No: l0s Portrait Of Lady, painted BY Mrs H;
rather the portrait of young lady, if may judge
from the erlish appearance. The shade cast by the
bonnet over the upper part Of the face and also that
done. The flesh is also very well colored.
l04. The Natural Bridge, Virginia, painted by F.
E. Church, N. A. Possessor, Cyrus w. Field. A.
very good representation Of this wonderful freak Of
| nature.
lo9. Ricbelieu, painted by D. M Carter. A group
Of fgures-too artificial however in their attitudes
illustrating the following lines of the play
| "ArouDd her for draw
| The awful circle Of our solemn church,
Set but q foot within that holy ground,
Ahd on thy ~ hsadys though wore crown
ll3. Reputation, painted by A. F. TAFT In this
picture Pistol is supposed to be represented by
Davidge-atttude good, depicting truthfully the
staggering braggadocio. Bardolph's nose we should
like to have eetle redder and Nym not to have
been placed so much in the background. Perhaps,
however the artist is right in making Pistol oprom-
neLty conspicuous

No. 126 Group OF Children. Portraits. Painted by
| George A. Baker, MA. POssessOr William Post We
cannot say much in commentator OF this picture
There is want Of that expression and Of that ami
matt, in the eyes and features which charac-
teristc Of childhood A family group we should
suppose.
No. l27. Portrait of Setter and Game. Painted
by William j. Hays. associate. Owned by r. Leroy
The dog looks halstsrved, and one OF the fore legs
which is stretched out, is very unnatural.
No. 1874. The Penitent. Painted by Samuel
Walker wicked looking penitent. The drapery
is very good, coloring excellent, but the hair Is
shockingly executed
No. 20S. View Of Montreal. Painted by f. White
field. In this p :ture we have birdseye view OF
the city, which is clearly and well depicted. 1t Is
really unique specimen Of the kind, displaying
much architectural correctness. The only fault we
have to complain of is the appearance OF the water
which is painted too dark.
No. I'll Negro portraits drawn by d. Strother
Owner, William KSmble.
No. 212. A Negro portrait. Do, do. Two clever
depicting the grotesque.

Andrews. Good. The autumnal tints of the foliage
contrast well with the evergreen Of some other trees
No. 220. Portrait of Gentleman, drawn in cray
on, by Vincent Colyer, associate Owner, DR.. James
Sellers, Junior. The light aud shade of the face in
this crayon drawing is well done. The hair, as well
as the moustache, is not so well hit off.
No. 223. View in Jacobs Valley, Kingston, lister
County, N. Y. Painted by James Smile, N A.
Light tibts not sufficiently relieved.
