1.-THE old regime" when Richmond was at
the hight of its ancient glory, and the
highly respectable butler Of an aristocra tic
family was the impersonation Of It's wealth
and pride. The water colors, photographs.
and erayon drawings are also exceedingly
attractive, the last especially awakening
wonder al the great progress that has been
made in that art. Nothing in the entire
display shows this 50 fully a. the marine
pictures taken by Mr. Dayid VI. Little, an
amateur, with the eye of an artist aud the
skill of professional photographer. On
tue outer wall OF the W est gallery on one
side Of the entrance are eight pictures Of
yachts in motion, taken with such perfect
! accuracy that every fold of the sails, and
the delicate tTacery of the ropes are clearly
defined, while the ripples at the bow and
the foaming waters astern so admirably
reproduced that little imagination is needed
10 hear the swish of the rushing waters
and the music OF the breeze PLAYING through
the cordage. On the other side of the
doorway are other pictures by the same
gentleman, among them two companion
pieces, one of the bow of the yacht under
full sail, the other of its stern, each faith
full miniature Of the scene it represents.
The southern displays attract every one,
but are best appreciated by few classes of
citizens, scientific men, miners and mining
engineers, all in whose occupation much
wood is used, and farmers sons, young men
whose minds are turned towards the West,
but who have not yet decided to what new
region they will betake themselves. With |
