Mr., F. F. Bale has just placed on exhibition
at his gallery some very fine paintings.
Bracket, who takes rank as the best painter
of fish in New England, exhibits splendid
salmon trout and some brook trout that would
excite the admiration of all anglers.
Paul Weber displays one of the best examples
OF his style in a landscape entitled "New Eng
land Hsymaking." The picture is quite large
and occupies the south wall of the gallery. On
the left is quiet pool into which some cattle
are making their way to avoid the midsummer
heat. On the right narrow path thro ugh the
grass and low bushes leads up to superb
group Of trees whose foliage is admirably exe-
cuted. On the right rises steep hill. In the
middle distance the haymakers are loading
their rack, while, ia the far perspective, rise the
blue hills, and the spirs of the village church
The sky is fecked with few light feecy
clouds. The painting is full of the dreamy re-
pose thai characterizes hot summer day. 1t
possesses great breadth, and is handled in
mastery manner. The atmosphere is perfect.
The coloring could not be improved. We do
not wonder that the artist received $500 for it
q short time ago.
G. r. Grant, formerly of Portland, now one
of the rising artists of Boston, whose pictures
command $3.50 readily, exhibits a charming
fgure piece, a rustic maiden walking through
the fields on an autumn evening, the bright
streak of light in the horizon, left by the set
ting sun, throwing out her figure in stroug re-
lief. The face is very sweet, the pose of the
girl easy aud graceful. Mr.. Grants pictures
are not finished with that nicely that marks the
works Of many artists but they possess great
merit.
Champney has "Harvest Time at Upper
Bartlett" on exhibition, and it displays all this
artists well known characteristics.
Wesley Webber's ''After Storm" is one OF
the best examples of that artists style, and

Vie President Of this association, whose valu-
able services has b-en constantly devoted to the
public schools Of this City for more than q

Resolved. That we wish publicly to bear ties.
tlmopy that in our connection with the de-
Ceased we have always recognized in him that
kindness OF heart and sincerity of purpose
which marks the nobl- man, and that sln gu ar
devotedness to his work thai becomes the earn
est teacher; and that in bis death we have lost
kind friend and associate, and the city
