The chairman said he WIS happy to report
that both in Europe and America the work
of the Association was making rapid progress.
He sincerely hoped the Legislature of virgil

fere with what this and kindred associations
were accomplishing. The Association wanted
neither State aid nor patronage, and only
asked to be let alone.
The Secretary, Francis j. Barnes, read the
following report:

ness now carried on by the Association:

RRACKFTTs SALMON.

There are four pictures now on exhibition
Goupus by Walter NJ. Bracket OF Boston, which will
convince any who them that possess one OF
the shpanters In the world They represent four
scenes IN the life aud death Of the Salmon In the first,
the unconscious victim approaches the Hy which float
ing The rapid in the second he Is hooked and
aOundering in the air; III the third he is curvng and
flashing IN his death struggle in thsYater and in the
last he is lying in all his beauty sUpine the grass.
Like all our specialists in art, Mr. Bracket is
strong only III direction, and for this reason
the second and fourth Of these pictures greatly
superior to the first and third. The water is painted
with painful uncertainty and lacks the Transparency
necessary successful rendering OF the movement Of
the fish But the moment he is taken out Of the stream
be is entirely the power Of the artist and is repre-
seuted with marvellous vigOr and skill. The fourth
picture the dead Salmon is by far the best Of all IN spite
OF the lack Of proportion and perspective in the back
ground The fish could scarcely be better done. It
severely, yet boldly drawn, and the svery shades Of
hight upon the coat OF the salmon rendered with
'eehng and power which are very unusual.
