of Chicago, and Alfred Sieglitz, two anna
teurs. who ara world famous.
Mrs. Antrim comes in for most favorable
mention in connection with the exhibition
for her fine work in retouching and finishing
negatives. The best specimen of her work
in this respect was on the picture OF the
Spanish fruit seller, which was given the
place of especial prominence as charac-
ter study in being the only one reproduced
In the catalogues. Further interest at
taches to this picture from the fact that
Mrs. Antrim herself was the model OF what
was decidedly one OF the most picturesque
bits hung on the exhibition walls.

Lizzie Simms, colored, was arraigned in
the police court yesterday by Policeman
McNamee, charged with keeping an immoral
house. Lawyer Campbell Darlington rep
resented the woman, and as the eyiednce
was insufficient to convict her Judge
Miller dismissed the case. The policeman
then attempted to rearrest the woman aud
charge her with vagrancy, but Lawyer
Carrington protested against his action,
saving that it had heen shown that she was
hardworking and has employment. Judge
Miller ordered the policeman to let the
woman alone, aud said that he did not
propose to allow policemen either to run
his court or to make vagrants OF hard
working people.

The field for the aw ards IN the IasU
class was extremely limited, as there were
hardly more than half d dozen interiors IN
the exhibit. Mr.. Dodge received the first
medal on an interior made by gas light,
while the second prize went 10 Mr.. William

1t is greatly to be regretted that the
limited classification shut out from any
award some of the best AMI most artistic
work In the exhibit, as there We're many
pictures which would not properly come
under the head of portrait, genre, ETC.,
and which still were fully as worthy of
recognition.
Mr. Max Hausmann, one of the best of
the Washington amateurs, showed, among
others, an exquisite study, IAN Evening
on Upper Au Sable Lake," as full OF
poetry and color as the Inspiration Of an
artist. Mr.. Wallace G. baDcock showed
an unusually beautiful study in this same

showing OF the kind ever made iu this
city up TO th2t time, the exhibition just
CLOSED goes beyond il in many ways.
This years exhibit can certainly lay claim
60 more general excellence, as there were
comparatively few really poor prints
shown. Another feature which demon
gtrates the stimulating effect Of these public
exhibitions upon amateurs generally is
the marked manner iU which the exhibitors
have endeavOred to enlarge their field OF
work. The tyro, as a matter OF course,
turns to outdoor photography, chiefly
landscapes. but an exhibit puts All SORTS
ofnew ideasintohis headand the fascination
of genre work, portraiture, studies IN
light drapery and posing stimulates him
20 new efforts in new lines.
Another striking Characteristic of the
exhibition was the individuality OF the
work, and in no one exhibit did it show
more decidedly than in that made by Mr..
Dexter Thurber. MI. Thurber's really

picture au exquisite suftness, while hap

Spinner" while showing the clear cut
outline of a classic profile, is Some what
heavy in effect.
Mr.. H. P R. Holt shows among Others some
beautiful studies in a sadly neglected line,
i. e., in still life. His "Primroses" was
especially delicate and well arranged and
should help interest other amateurs in this
charming field of work. Mr.. Eugene T

wide range of work, showing not only high
technical ability, but the impress OF true
artistic feeling. Mr.. j. ii. Harper showed
