lery two admirable specimens OF his work. One rep
rcsents black bass pungng down through the water
the other brook trout under similar circumstances
Tho difference in tho mode OF treatment is based the
well character habits OF the species of fish
TO which either of the examples belongs. The artist
has been vcry happy in representing the sense OF
movement Of the fishes through tho water. In pro.
ducing this difficult effect Mr. Trumbu has boon, as
usual, very successful.
William Hart has on exhibition at this gallery his
new picture, which no calls 'Catio in the Woods 1t
is pretty and pleasing landscape in tho last adopted
style OF the artist. There is nothing very strk-
ngly original for recalls many other by the

cuted. Tho group OF cattle coming out Of the woods
has carefully studied and painted with fair
cess.
