R. |. SCHOOL OF DESIGN.

At the museum OF the Rhode Island
School Of Design last evening a private
view was given of small collection of
paintings recently acquired by the school
and loaned by friends.
Seven examples OF the somewhat
peculiar style of Joseph Linden Smith are
shown. "The Tea Rose" beautiful
figure by Z. ii. Blashfield, is loaned by
John G. Pegram. Two earlier specimens
of Elihu Vedder are loaned by Jesse Met
calf and Isaac G. Bates, who also loan sew
eral works OF George Inness. DIR. A. T..
Ham loaned two OF George rulers shad-
owy pictures. A head by r. A. Bridgman,
is loaned by DR.. Millar.
The large canvas by Jules Sallen, which
was presented to the school by Charles
Fletcher, is on view, also figure by May
nard and fine piece OF genre painting by
Hugo Salmson.
The collection occupies but a small COR
ner OF the large gallery and for that rea-
son may not impress the visitor as il sep
arated from the permanent exhibit.
In a very quiet way the School of Design
is building up a museum that 10 worthy of
the city and that is sure to advance the
art sentiment of the people as they take
advantage OF the absolutely free oppor-
tunity to see and study the masterpieces
in the museum.
Many new pieces have been recently
added to the sculpture gallery, and beau
tiful collections of antique japanese and
Chinese keramics, embroideries, etc., are
displayed in cases.
The museum is open every day except
Sundays, free to all.

The Duchesse do la Rochofoucauld, who
was once upon a time-and only few
years ago-loyely Mattio Mitchell of Ore
gon and New York, is said TO be one Of
the most charming hostesses and one of
the most brilliantly clever women in sun
ny France OF the truth of this assertion
people who have the average opinion
of the clever Frenchwomen may have
doubts, but of tho duchosso's beauty there
Is only one opinion. She IL remembered
I'm New York rs lovely girl with per-
feet figure, superb snowy shoulders, which
she always drapcd with chiffons, gauzcs
and tullos In OF shoulder fashion, which
showed TO the best advantage the very
classical contour Of the lovely shoulders
Miss Mitchell also had regular features,
bronze gold hair, complexion Of dazzling
pink and white and lovely eyes like aqua
marine Jewels N n haunting shade of blue
gray. No wonder that Paris imagines
Senator Mitchell's daughter - clever in
every way as she is pretty.

Hoyt's latest farce, entitled "a Black
Sheep" drew large and fine looking au-
dlence to the Providence Opera House
last evening. Everyone came prepared TO
have jolly time and the good
nature OF the audience communicated
itself to the players and they
were jolly, too. IL was O rollicklng per-
formance, in Hoyt's popular vein. Be-
sides, il was new and naturally, there
was considerable curiosity to see what
had been evolved by the polite
producer OF sidewalk comedy. 1t
was not in the least disappointing,
from the play point of view, and IL was
really enjoyable as first class vaudeville
show. The scheme permitted the presen-
tation of number OF leading speciality
artists, who sang, danced and disported
themselves after their own peculiar FASH
ion, and everything was bright, and much
OF IL was new.
A harum- -scarum chap called Hot Stuff
becomes heir to fortune, and he assists a
stranded variety company 10 get TO New
York from Arizona. He accompanies
them to take possession OF two
millions. A peculiar Will and
the efforts of presumptive heir who
Is bad man, and his accomplice, schem-
ing young woman, make n slender story
that sustains the interest while the play
ers have high jinks for nearly three
hours.
otis Harlan Is talented specialist, and
his efforts struck the popular chord. His
hearty and spontaneous action and speech
are his strong points.
Mr.. Harlan has friends in the Provi-
dence Press Club, and they gave him
south County black sheep at the end OF
the second act.
The episode tickled the audience,a and the
actor, and the sheep itself said word
after Mr.. Iiarlan's humorous remarks
about his present.
"a Black sheep" will be seen this even
ing aud tomorrow afternoon and evening.

OF New England, as prophet. 1t was
after his recent fight with Ed Binney that
/ had quite long chat with him. In the
course OF his remarks he said: 81 want
to give you tip. Don't yop bet a cent
against Billy Smith in his fight with Joe
Walcott. have fought them both, and
know what am talking about. Smith
will win i'm at least seven rounds" This,
coming as ii does, from maW who has
sized the two up by experience, should
influence a great many followers of the
sport, but ! must frankly state that
think that you viii find that Walcott is
victorious, and that the worst he will get
anyway will be draw. / have seen both
men in the ring, and have studied their
methods OF fighting, and i cannot
see that Smith, in a fair and
square battle, is capable OF defeating
the colored lad. AT the time of this
writing there are rumors that the con-
test is not TO be on the level, In regard
to this ! would state that II any deal is
fixed, it will not be between the fighters
but on the police end. You know that it
could be easily arranged to have the au'
thorities step in alta given time allowing
the referee to declare the contest a draw,
in which case the men would divide the
money. and as Music Hall will be packed
to the doors, their share will be consid-
erable one. f~
A great surprise was sprung on the
pugilistic world when the announcement
was made that Muldoon's Pickaninny"
and Young Starlight were
matched to box Is rounds at the Charles
bank Athletic Club, March II. Ii was
generally thought that Bobby Dobbs, the
133- pound challenger OF the world, who,
as well as Starlight" is in Rob
Roy Benton's stable would be the one
to meet the I" Pickaninny." But Benton
whols always on the alert, and one OF
the best informed men in pugilistic af-
fairs, uses great tact in making matches
for his men, and offered to match "Star-
light" who is some fifteen pounds lighter,
instead. This was a very wise move on
his part, for il the "Picksninny" is victor
ious he can then have Dobbs to fall back
upon to retrieve lost laurels.
