energies for long time to the collection Of
works by American painters. sends not less

Inness. 1t Is largo canvas and rep.
resents an approaching storm. The light
OF day is obscurcd by the clouds which cast
over tho whole landscape most curious and
mystical gloom. Another picture by the same
artist. Moonlight Night" is loaned by Mr.
James W. Ellsworth Of Chicago. Tho scene
appears to be in ono OF our own suburban
towns. perhaps in New Jersey. and the light OF
the moon falls in long lines through tho grove
that surrounds n country house. A deeper
shadow In the wood is relieved by small
brush fire. The scene Is peaceful and 1t is
very like moonlight.

teen examples OF his in oils aud water

studies at HouRhton farm, all water-color
drawings. and all very interesting notes of
