ACADEMY OF THE VISITATION.


was held yesterday morning in the large
school hall of the convent The room was
overAowing with a cultivated and fashion
able audience-parents and friends of the
pupils. Tho exhibition rooms on the lower
story were decorated with specimens of the
pupils work in oil and water color painting,
crayon drawing, china painting, and deco
rative needlework. All Of this work
was very good, while some of it showed
high order of ability Particularly
noticeable were the screens and chairs om-
broidored in the Kensington stitch, by Miss
Clara Lansburgh, of this city who ranks
first In embroidery in the academy, and of
Miss Goldie Wallach, who took the second
honors the fine arasine needlework Of little
Ada Carson, the fine china painting of Misses
Katie Jones, Annie Murphy, and Ada Nor
gan; the handpainting on silk of Miss Ada
Morgan the water color paintings of Misses
Elise Stellwagen aud Estelle Huyck, and the
crayon drawing of Miss Marion U. Oyster.
Miss Lansburgh's oil painting was also remark
ably fine. A class of ladies, not properly
pupils but who are receiving instruction in
painting from the sisters, produced some
noticeably fine work. Miss Emily Brooks
exhibited a landscape. copy of " Beatrice
Cenci," and very fine Madonna and
Child" Mrs. Hugo, Miss Bernodine Tyson,
whose Basket of Peaches" was exquisite;
Miss Jones and Miss Murphy also contributed
some excellent work. The general iudg-
ment of the cultivated audience about the
exhibition was that either these pupils pos
sesscd exceptional artistic ability or that the
acedemy's instructors were exceptionally
skillful.
The exercises commenced at 10 o'clock in
the school hall. On the stage were seated
Fathers Murphy, president, and Dinney, pro-
tessor of Gonzaga college, Chapellc and Bo-
-
Patrick's. Father Murphy conferred the
premiums. A pleasant scene occurred when
the gold medal for excellence In painting was
conferred. The work of Miss Elise Stell-
wagen and Miss Estelle Huyck, both genre
scenes, vase, drapery, and shell, was so
nearly equal that they were directed TO draw
for the honor. Miss Stellwagon won, and
Miss Huyck taking tho medal placed it
around the neck OF her successful competitor.
