AWARD oE FREE ART SCHOLARSHIPS
The Bric-a-Brac Club met last night at the
residence of w. NJ. Siddons, and elected
Mrs. c. H. Ross, Miss Pringle and Miss
Lille Blue active members. 1t then pro-
ceeded to award its gift of two scholarships
in the Art School. There were nine appii-
cants. The club was convinced of the
worthiness of every one of them and that
to give each one an art education would be
to do good work, beside aiding the estab-
lishment of the Art School. But the club
is small, has but light income and is not
maintained to heap up money nor do works
of charity. 1t was, however, so anxious
to give the applicants encouragement
that motion was on the
point of prevailing to increase
the gift of scholarships to three. A due
sense of economy prevailed, however, with
the hope that other societies or lodges, or
some persons well-to-do, will endow-the
sum is small-other free scholarships, and
thus enable struggling poor girls and boys
with art talent to be educated The club
balloted for over two hours and the enthu-
siasm for this or that candidate was at fever

mere question of endurance the two-thirds
rule was suspended and Charles f. Holland
selected. Belle NJ. Peyran having been al
ready chosen on the first ballot. Miss
Peyran is aged IS, and lives at 412 o street.
and her work shows native ability. Hol-
land is aged 90 and shows remarkable skill
in drawing and pen etchings. 1t is possible
that the Bric-a-Brac Club will still con-
tinue, by disposal of some art works it
possesses, TO crafty its desire to award still
other free scholarships and salve the disap-
pointment of those defeated last night
METROPOLITAN THEATER.-This afternoon
at o'clock, and tonight, at s, will be
the last performances here of the Thomp-
son Opera Company. On both occasions
the charming opera, by Millocker, The
Beggar Student" will be sung 1t is a re-
freshing comic opera. with sparkling music
and most abSurdly romantic plot The
singing of Misses Godfrey and Hall and
Messrs. Seaman and Branson, is especially
successful, and calls out such encores as are
not often heard from audiences here. The
company has had only tolerable season
here. 1t came upon the very heels of the
Carleton troupe, with its high prices and
rich costumes, and dash and finish, and for
a portion OF the week has had to contend
also with abominable weather Musically
it is the better of the two troupes. and
" The Beggar Student" as sung by it, COM
pensates well for the evenings sitting.....
Tomorrow night Goheen, the young
psychological experimentalist, ana who is
announced as a mesmerist, will give sec
ond exhibition at the Metropolitan His
first was decided success. Since then, at
a private entertainment he has per-
formed more striking feats, and has
mystified close observers. We would
suggest that instead of volunteers
for subjects being taken who come
first to the stage, that young Goheen have
the aid of a committee of well-known peo-
pie to select from among volunteers those
who are most likely TO be sincere or to Sc
lect, if that can be done, subjects from the
audience at large.
