TIE fret reception for the season, u the aIsts OF
,Le Studio BuilJinQ in Tenth street, last evening,
was rue ovation to Art; and Art on this occason'
yas worldly of the homage paid TO her votafies. IL
w.s a lovely moonlight might, the air was crIsp ana
the .ay oloudess the electric Influences OF the dfy'
clear atmosphere had manifest effect upon the
irs OF the Brilliant throng that crowded tue pas

,.or, ;,pi,or with his assistants had big
boua. well employed in receiving The tickets
of the visitors as they poured IN upon nm. There
c,s Too many fine pictures in the large exhibition
room which demand special notice to admit OF any
nen,.on in so bne1 notice az this aud we must DO
content 70 speak only Of the few very conspicuous
ones which were too exigeaat 20 be passed by. Mr..
Cia,r's Baltimore and Mr. McEntee's "FT-
g-nia." which are ombodimenis OF the times, will
| boar closer scrutiny and much more elaborate
cr;licisu than We eau now besOw upon them. They
are novel in treatment and lofty in tone, and could
only have been painted by artists who had beer
pa. Of TIE scenes they depicted. Equally grand
and large in STYLE but different in feeling was Mr..
/ Biersades "Rocky Mountain Scenery" and each
picture WAS gonuiuely American in feeling and IN
sutject. Among tho most noticeable figure pieces
we've fanciful Santa Claus, and an exquisite piece
O. animal painting by Mr.. Beard, representing e
ioalons rabbit whose imbeeie rage at witnessing the
hleesness Of the tect of bis affections, Is oiHl!a-
bly, ludicrous.
The separate studios of The artists were Lighted
d. NJ usual on these occasions, and visitors had ar
opportunity Of seeing the works in progress. Sons
o. the artists, in addition to their pictures, bad
decorated their rooms with flowers OF remarkable
beauty. Mr.. Gigoux, for example, had basket OF
rsvi3hing rhododeDdrons, roses and camsbas, which
fairly disputed the claims to attention with the
patty finished scene of early Autumn on his easeli
o. did the bouquets in the rooms Of hessfs. Hayes
AID Say dan claim pant Of the attention which would
else have been wholly bestowed upon their wosks.
Mr. Shattuck had most charming picture Of Berk-
shire scenery in his room and Mr.. Clifford was at
home in his brilliantly lighted studio in the midst Of
his mountain gorges and purple sunsets; Mr.. 10
Clear received his visitors in the midst Of bic
beautiful genre sketches and portraits, snd
Mr.. BieIsiadt's large apartment was hung
with trophies from the Rocky Mountains Wick
a,corded we'll with his numerous sketches Of those
wild regions. Mr. Boards studio was full Of AMI
NAL studies and w. Harris of quiet and exquisitsly
finished landscapes Mr.. Church aud Mr.. Casiear,
for some dark reason never light up their studios,
10 he regret of hundreds of curious visitors who
were most anxious inspect their unfinished paint
ings But there were enough beside, for one night,
sud they must have been most unreasonable in their
demands not to have been sa!is6ed with the bealiiet
they were permitted to enjoy on this occasion
