The Artists Reception.

The reception OF the Washington Art Club
last night was an occasion OF more than usual
brillisncy, their rooms in Vernon Row being
throngcd with visitors until . late hour. 1t was
estimated that a thousand persons were present
during the evening. Besides the main exhibition
room and the music room, the studios Of the ar.
lists, Poole, Fisher, Browne and ROwzee were
also thrown open to the guests, aforjing a
pleasant promenade through the broad Railways
from one to the other. Many Of tho best works
Of the resident artists were on exhibition, among
which Weyl, kaufman, Biumgras, Poole,
Fisher, Mrs. Fassett, Paris Holmes, ROwzee,

y. II. Miller, Winnie Ream and Guylllun were
represented The subject announced at the last
preceding meeting, "in tight hx," was adml-
rably treated by many Of the artists the sketches
anording much amusement during the evening
These receptions of the Art Club have grown
into such popular favor with the more intelligent
and cultivated classes Of society at the Capt.
tai that they Will probably be continued
at intervals OF two weeks, during the season.
when the latest works Of our artists will be ex.
hibited. Among the guests last evening were
