Things
drawing in the north room by Mr. Edwin II. Blash-
field &" His Ludship"-a small sprig Of nobility COB
bling his soup under the sterny benevolent eye OF an
elderly WATERWAYS the centre of popular enjoyment all
through early evening but this was not for lack OF
good things elsewhere a small study of head by Mr.
r. c. williamson, No. l4i; J. f. Murphy's Group OF
Old Trees" No. l73; Mrs 0ieahemer Fowler's
Angelica Kluimaunish q Morning" No. l76; Mr. e. W.
Edwariss "wung Out" No. 1S1; drawing by j..
T. Milet, Hackeling Flax" No 1873; preparing Fish
for Market" by NJ. Burns, No 222; the spirited draw
ing OF Mr.. c. S, Reinhart, Coal Breakers, No 22l all
deserved and all r--ved due attention. But perhaps
the drawing in this that the warmest praises
from artists aud from all who had eyes, the charm
ing drawing by Mr. Leon Moran, Looking for the
Cows" No 1877 As delicate and spirited IN drawing as
it is sweet in conception this is thoroughly enjoyable
little work.
In the other galleries caught sight OF Mr.. 4. B.
masculine niece of work. Mr.. e. S. RcnharIs The Jolly
Sailor Inn," No. 238-but wherever lind Mr.. Rein
hart we shall a strong hand aiding a
clear eye record its of fe and how much
,arger and stronger these drawings look in the original
than in the boundaries of the magazine page for
which they were made Mr.. W. I. smedey
has sunny subjective Old farmers
going back to the time "When We Boys" No.
PAS In the corridor vigorous study, Old Wharves,
on River Wilham," No. 407, by Mr. Alfred Parsons;
and in the west room are three of Mr. Bicknels new
process prints OF which much has been said or
sung, and which may be compared with Mr.. Walkers
work in a similar kind, believe, in the northwest
room OF Mr.. BickneIls three, No. 444 " On Cape
Ann" seems to be much the finest, though No. 46l
"November Snow" Is good work, too. Mr.. Walkers
plates seem to us TO delicate feeling for
iure and poetry in the treatment They are less
conventional than Mr.. Bicnes, and without being IN
the least hammered initiative, belong more 10 the
the inspiration that comes from study Of nature more
for sake than for the sake OF art In Mr. Bick
nes case, the impression is one directly opposite to
this.
