ANOTHER CONTEST
Third Exhibition of the
Sketch Club.
Some Very Charming Work Which
Delighted Visitors at the Opening
Reception Last Night.

A very pleasant affair was the opening
of the third semi-annual exhibition OF the
Sketch Club last night. The rooms of the
club are at sos Montgomery street. They
were crowded with people interested In
amateur art, and these are not few. The
club is com imposed of young ladies. many of
whom are in the Art School. They go on
sketching tours whenever they feel like it.
and these trips have resulted in many
charming little sketches, which will adorn
the walls of the rooms until the exhibition
closes on Wednesday evening.
There are some twenty-seven sketches In,
oil and thirty-three in watercolors. while
dozen black and white and two model
ings complete the collection.
Kate Burgn has a very pretty marine in
watercolors. A study of violets by Maize
E. Nichols is gem in its way.
study of the same subject by Stella
Austin in water colors is really very credit
able and was much admired. Taken alto
gether, the mem bers seem to do better
work in water colors than in oils. There
worthy of notice. Among them are Ger
trude Dugan's "Marsh." Lillian Vesaria's
CLOUDY Day." some studies by Josephine
NJ. Hyde, some black-and-white sketches
by Carrie E. Rixiord, Blanche Letcher and
Nellie Murtha. The only engraving is by
Bertha Henicke Taussig, after design by
AIbprtiEe Randall Wheelan. This is the
design on the back OF the catalogue. and
both the design and engraving are very
we'll done. There are two examples of
modelling by E. j. 7. Rum bold.

punch bowl suffered tremendously from
the numerous assaults on its contents.
