other domestic animals. When she had
learned to draw she displayed such great ac-
curacy and facility with the pencil, as she fol-

played much taste and skill with the pencil

studies, but che expects to make this vicinity
her home.
Over two hundred entries have been made
IN the exhibition at Woodward & Lothrop's
representing most Of the well-known names
Of Washington artists, with number OF
others not go well known. There were sew
eral pictures rejected by the committee, many
from the fact that the prescribed forms OF
entry were not complied with.
Mr.. E. G. Messer, the president of the So
ciety, has several pastel studies of scenery
taken both at home and when abroad. Among
these there is one especially strong of ga
PEASANTS Home;" another is OF s'Evening on
the Avon," and there are several of twilight
scenes. Mr.. Parker Mann's psstels are an
attractive collection. No. AZ is named
which looms up darkly in the
foreground, while the outlining of
masts and spars against cold gray sky is
fine and strong. Near by Mr.. R. NJ.

good marine view In water colors; Mr.. Nc
Donald has q clever drawing, "Mad Cap
Madge," done In his best manner; Howard
Helmick Is new conner, recently from Lon

Irish life. Mr.. Helmick is an American, but
has spent several years past in London or on
tho Continent. e. II. Holmes has several
pictures, but one of Harvest Scene" is
much commended by the artists themselves
as Ia his very happest style. j. III. Moses is
another worker on the climb. On the line are
two specimens of his best, ''November'' and
"Night," in which the sentiment is well
brought out. Mr.. s. Jerome Uhl has two
Enthusiastically fine portraits on the line.
one is OF gentleman in pastel and the other
OF a lady with golden hair in gown of green.
AS already said there are large number of
women exhibitors in the collection and their
work loses nothing by comparison with that
of the men.
This year, and for the future the society
has decided to omit the awarding of prizes as
being comparatively valueess when made even
with the best OF intentions on purely technical
grounds as they too often cause dssatisfac-
tion. Hence, although the same gentleman
who gave the premium money last year again
made the offer this season, the society de-
clined to receive it. Mr.. Dunbar has goodly
number of specimens of plastic work ON ex-
hlbition in red clay, which show earnest work.
