number of others equally fine, embracing
etchings, table spreads, afghans, lace work

A very fine full length group represent
bead work, which, both as an exhibition of
fine needlework and for perfection as por-
traiture, deserves much praise. 1t is the
work of Mrs. j. D. Blake, of Rochester, and
was much admired.
A group of oil paintings by Miss Stebbins,
of Rochester, embraced some very meri-
torious landscape pieces. In the east wing
art collection the oil paintings of Mrs.
Faitout, the Misses Van Dusen, and Miss
Madge Breckenridge, of Rochester, and the
work on porcelain and china of Mrs. Fait-
out of Rochester and Miss Porter of Min
neapolis were very fine.

Adam Bohland, are hereby rendered the

of vegetables which are of

is mass OF beautiful bloom and foliage
filing the entire building with their III
toxicating aroma. They are arranged in
the form Of g pyramid over thirty feet
