THE ART PAVILION.
The art pavilion has proved one Of the
most attractive features of the Fair.
Sculpture is represented by Mr; p. y.
Valentines colossal bust Of Humboldt, his
penitent thief, his admirable busts OF Maury
and Mosbv, and a small figure Of Judus IS
CARROT in the act Of throwing down the
thirty pieces of silver. In this latter sub
iect Mr.. Valentine has developed most de-
cided talent. tits pronounced by critics to
he a beautiful study, and Well worthy OF a
place among the highest specimens OF the
plastic art. As study for students OF
anatomy, its title to position IN any
academy is undoubted:
| Sheppard has on exhibition his painting
of the Bushwhacker," and portrait
| The former is well-known TO our citizens,
having been. and deserYedly so, the object
of GREAT deal of attention while on exhibit
tion at Bideood's some time since.
| Elders reputation is well sustained in the
two Dortraits he exhibits. One isa portrait
of Colonel G. W. Munford, the other a
Genne" portrait of little girl. This lat
ter.is pronounced "gem" in the way OF
portrait painting. The subject beng one III
which the artist could give rein to his fancy,
he has availed himself Of the hcence to lntro-
duce a coloring, and the accessories OF a
globe of gold fish, a book of painted PIC
lures, a table, and some drapery, which,
without detracting from the faithfulness OF
the portrait, raise 1t at once into the more
refined and difficult sphere Of the fancy
piece. The acknowledgements OF stili
| fife-harmonize admirably with the head
and the ov1e pose of child reading.
| Major w. b. Myers has on exhibition a
| three-quarter portrait of Charles DICKENS.
| 1t is strong in touch, in fine tone, ana IN
perfect harmony, and is SAID 10 be me
likeness. He also exhibits portrait Oh u
| lady.
Attracting no little attention IS fancy

decided talent.
