The PILGRIM Fathers AT PRAYER.-A large paint
ing with this little is on exhibition at GoupIs by
Schwartz, having arrived here recently from Paris
1t represents the Pilgrim Fathers holding their first
day of public worship at Plymouth, January 2l 1921
The meeting is held in large, rude building in the
middle Of which is the PASTOR Elder Brewster, In the
act of prayer Grouped around him are all those who
aferward became distinguished, though they were not

Near the pastor stands a large man who is repre-

made plaything of.
Nor does the presence Of cradle seem to us in

that band of God-seeking and sefdenying pilgrims
Otherwise the picture has a good deal of merit as
work of art 1t is strong IL color correct in drawing,
and effective in the grouping of the fgures as

lately into vcgue-pictuIes admired for certain
prettinesses patent to the vulgar than for historical
truth and conscientious treatment.
THE LOST STEAMSHIP HUNGARIAS.-Mr p. p.
Kelly of the Division avenue Ferry, Williamsburgh,
has handed us scrap Of paper, which was found ina
bottle floating in the Ferry clip on Saturday Lass by
carpenter whe repairing the bridge at the foot of
