1ssrruTg.-Thc male School Of Art, in connection with
the Cooper Institute their reception last evening

the pupils ability. The male department is situated on
the upper foor and many really artistic drawings may
be found there In the devoted to perspective the
drawings by Messrs r. Scott and T. d. McMurray, are
especially worthy Of notice-those of the former
Ihe drawings from casts, marked A. Gordon very
perfect Four large cmyon sketches, IN the next !
room, taken from NEUROLOGICAL subjects, not |
wanting in merit One of Venus in sea shell |
promises, when finished to fully repay tho student for
Apollo marked Otto Schrudcr is also admirably DONE
In the mechanical and other departments there are
many drawings which display great merit The same
lack OF variety which noticed existing in the female
department exists here also. This understand is
owing to paucity of subjects for copying in the school,
The number Of specimens in the male department is
considerably less than those in the female This be
accounted for by the lady students having great deal
more time at their disposal for study. Dodworth's band
as ON the previous evening was present. and performed
some of the choicest musical compositions The annual
commencement lakes place this day.
