Art Leyee--B. Y, C..

On Thursday evening the art depart
ment of B. +. C. was thrown open to
the public, and the room was crowded
from first to last by an appreciative
public. There were more than one
hundred pictures upon the walls for in
spection, all of them worthy of careful
study, and some that would have been
a credit to any artist. We do not pre-
tend to understand the rules of per-
spective, or what effect gilt frame
would have on a brown picture, but we
think we know picture when we see
it, and think we know a good one from
bad one, and we certainly do know u
natural looking picture when we stand
in front of it. Looking at these pic
lures carefully, we failed to find bad
one, but did find number which
caught the eye of the visitor instantly,
and provoked expressions of praise.
Nearly all the fruits, flowers, &c, were
drawn from nature. Miss MicklebOrO
is the teacher in this department, and
the work of her pupils is the strongest
praise of her ability.
Miss Florence Wallace, a graduate
this year of this department, exhibited
fourteen pictures, four of which were
especially meritorious. '.Lacing the
Sandal" was splendid. "He Loves Me |;
He Loves Me Not" was also an excel
lent thing. The crayou portrait of Mr..
Lee j. Sharp was as natural as pho
tograph, but we believe the "Summer
Idyr' was the gem of the exhibit. Her
fruits, flowers and game pieces were
also very fine.
Miss Flora Clinksnbsard exhibited
nine very creditable pieces, including
one from life and one pastel portrait,
all the others being from nature.
Miss Jennie Ladd had thirteen pic
lures to her credit, including portrait,
horses, flowers, &c. Her lobster was
excellent.
Miss Gulia Walker exhibited four
pictures, all good; but the "Dutch-
mans Lunch" was the one which at
tracted and deserved most notice.
Miss Marian Duvall showed nine
good pictures. Her thanksgiving din
ner was enough to beget hunger for
the good things which were so naturally
placed on the table.
Miss Flossie Charles had fifteen
pieces to her credit, including portrait,
flowers, &C., and one, s'Writing to
Mother" from life, . good picture,
with good name.
Miss Margery Minter exhibited three
good sketches Of fruits and flowers,
from nature.
Miss Julia Rutter was the exhibitor
of eight pieces, all COED, including one
portrait, flowers, fruits, landscapes, &c
Miss Hattie Beamer showed foul
pieces, fruits and flowers, all very
creditable.
Miss Allere Ware exhibited eigh
very pretty pictures.
Miss Kate Van Hoy had to her credi
five excellent pictures.
Miss Bessie Wallace showed her ar
tistlc skill in the production of five
pieces. Her emusic Study" was very
good, but her fishes and nets was heI
best, and 3 very creditable piece o
work it was.
Miss Minnie Stoughtsn and Mis-!
May Grabeck eash had three very at
tractive pieces.
One thing about all these painting
which we noticed particularly was thu
smoothness of the work. There wa
no piling up of paint, as we have Otter
seen, and which we never could admire
Some of the young ladies have only
been taking lessons one year. and a few
two years. None longer than two, VI
believe, except Miss Wallace. Th'
display was well worthy of the Baptis
college, or of any other school in ou
state.
