congregational Church.

The art exhibition closed last even
ing with the reception rendered by
Mrs. H. S. Krouse to the society of
Utah Artists. There was fair num-
Der present, but the attendance was not
so good as it should have been, con-
sidering the fact that this was the last
opportunity to see the finest collection
of paintings ever displayed in this city,
or territory.
Mrs Krouse, assisted by Mrs. w. S.
Mccormick, Mrs. Judge Henderson, Mrs.
Ellsworth Daggett and Mrs. r. S. Rich
ards, accorded the guests a. gracious
welcome. An hour was spent in exam
lining the paintings. after which an
exceptionally fine musical programme
was rendered.
Mr.. H. S. Krouse played the "Galop
de Concert" a brilliant composition
of his own, in his usual highly artistic
style.
Mrs. Jennie HawIey Woodrow sang
More and More by Tasti, and, for
an encore, that exquisite song, "Day
Dreams" 1t is a matter of comment
that Salt Lake city's favorite contralto
shrows q decided improvement every
time she sings in public.
Miss Tillie Phillips also sang most
charmingly ASK Not" and the appre-
citation Of the audience was shown by
warm and repeated applause.
'Valss' Of Nymphs and Fauns," by
Bemberg, was surg by Miss Winston
in the perfect manner that has made
her so great a favorite among the music
lovers Of this city. Miss Winston has
sung her way into the hearts of the
public and her place the : is a, perma-
nent one.
Mrs. Silva was in excellent voice and
her sweet, high soprano was never
heard, to better ADVANTAGE than in
Happy Day." by Strelezli.
The new baritone, F. w. King, sang
THE Creole Love Song in way that
showed an unusual cultivation of a
hearty enucore he gave 1.-THE Drinking
Song" with pleasing effect.
Mr.. Krouse's sympathetic accompani-
ments and the beautiful violin obliga-
toS by Mr.. Willard Weihe added great
ly to the charm of the vocal numbers.
Before the close of the musical pro-
gramme Mr. n. L. A. Culmer made a
of artists in which he thanked the
public for the interest shown in the
exhibition. and for the favorable COM
mentS made. He said the artists were
stimulated to great efforts by the gen
eral appreciation Of what they had
accomplished IN the past. He also eX-
pressed much gratitude to the ladies
who had given the reception in their
honor.
The art exhibition closed with eclat.
It was a fitting close for an institution
that has ben an honor to the CITY, The
paintings were all meritorious AS a
collection they were magnificent Here
and there a discord was perceptible.
A few pictures were "spotty," a. quail
ity that is an abomination to the soul
Of an artist.
There was a lack in a few cases OF
that Capitalization that should be
sought after, and a few paintings were
crude because Of the lack of good
were fine and have proven that we
have in our midst prince of portrait
painters. some fine landscape artists
and some whose versatile talent shows
equally well in several departments.
