PAoJoEs uul nc idll0u, IOr the IDEA was ZOO SUD
tie to o0 expressed in realistic form. In this
painting there is much of the sensuousness
which pertains to the East, but it is not often
sively displayed, and much of the detail, such
as the Rarlands which deck the royal craft, and
the expression on the faces of the different
characters are remarkably portrayed.
Munthe's Norwegian Winter Sunset is a
most attractive effort, full of poetry and senti-
ment.
Charles jacques Landscape with Sheep"
is in the artists best style. Rene Menord, in
the Portfolio for September, 1875, SAYS whom
ever he paints hens perched on a cart, ducks
dabbling IN brook, or anything of the kind,
his work is intensely realistic. Humerlin
says OF his landscapes that his congenital inca
pacity to see color often causes him to be rep
resented unfairly. His green's are the rawest
of green's But in his etchings, or in photo
graphs from his pictures he is charming.
In the PRESS yesterday, the writer referred
to Inness as deceased This was an error. as
Inness is now in Europe. The mistake arose
from the fact that there was large sale of the
artists works before he left this country, and
in some way the writer got the idea that it
was post-mortem sale.
THE EVENING.
A very large crowd filed the galleries and
floor of City Hall in the evening, and it was
difficult getting about. The young girls with
raffies flew in every direction, button-holed
everybody and collected much scrip for the
object. The band discoursed splendid music,
and the tableaux were not only prettily con-
ceived but capitally executed. The refresh
msnt room did thriving business and the
decorations were much enhanced by the two
electric lights, which were employed for the
first time. The feature of the evening was
the drill by 45 young ladies in space "a feet
square, under the captaincy of Miss Mildred
Green. There were three companies of Is
girls each-the Lion, Eagle and Wizard-and
they marched and counter-marched, wheeled,
broke into column of threes front, formed
stars, and performed other evolutions with
great skill amidst loud applause. Tonight
there will be a drill of young lads under
Master Nickerson, and tableaux.
