Further on, in this room, Moonlight, 326, by him,

No. 254. Amt Maria Elma NJ. Cove. Miss Cove
is young artist, whose crayon drawings Tor two or
three years past have gained her some reputation.
More recently she has tried her hand at obs, with
good deal of promise.
No. 255 Mount Everett. j. b. Bristol. Almost lumin-
oushe picture the electric atmosphere
belonging to such scene. The rosy hight upon the
hills IL very vivid and the shadow of the clouds upon
the rest Of the landscape il equally well painted. OF
The several pictures which Bristol has in the exhibition
this seems 70 us 10 hnve the most merit. No. 81 Re-
collections OF Sunny Lands, little further on, Is, how
light.

room No. 49, the River Bank, and further on in the
fifth gallery No. 44s, are all BY A. F. Bellows, and
all marked specimens Of his choice of subjects and man

Summer, the warmth the gladness the richness, and
the repose Of the high of the year and seem 10
have been painted in some of the rus Of the re-
treats Of nature. Bellows whether he creates or APP
prop istes-and he must have learned TO appropriate

two figures giving bit Of color 10 the landscape and
bit of sentiment TO the picture, shows high appreci-

No. 266. Deserted Homestead. Jervis McEntee. Mr..
McEntee is another Of most promisng young ART
sts In bis pictures also there is sentiment well as
scenery always as characteristic the quite other but
not lass marked feeling Of Bellows. In the October

all the details of the picture in perfect unity, while

There are some admirable hgure-pieces and several
good heads in this gallery. but it would make art
Gle too long to note them. We refer particularly 10
works by johnson, Baker White, LIE Clear, Ryder,
No. 346. The Three Friends It. Hicks. A quiet,
truthful little picture harmonious in treatment US in
the peaceful agreement of the three friends, little
girl and her two pets, dog and kitten. MIR. Hicks,
we think, has not even here departed from his usual
walk this is unmistakable famiypiece Of three
portraits.
No. 349. Grimslkins Dream. w. II. Beard.
Mr. Beard delights in character in animals and per-

nesses of bis fellow-men. He finds great pleasure,
doubtless in Hsop La Fonaine and might illustrate

No. 37. Platte River Indians Encamped-Albet
Bierstadt; and 2lS Emgranx Camping, in previous
room, will recall TO the spectator large picture OF the
