BEAUTIFUL PICTURES.
Artist Leavitt's Free Exhibition of
Still Life.

Ordinary people who do NOT pretend to
know anything about pictures, NJ we'll
ms connoisseurs OF art, are delighted,
when the announcement appears that
Mr.. Edward {. Leavitt has opened his
studio again for their inspection of his
work.
This fall the exhibition consists of
about seventy paintings of unusual ex-
cellence even for Mr.. Leavitt.
The subjects are similar TO those pre-
viously exhibited, but the treatment
shows another step in advance. Every
year visitors think that he has reached
the limit of absolute reality and beauty
in his expression of still life, but every
year shows a distinct gain over the year
before. In the management OF light,
purity OF color and delicate drawing OF
detail the improvement Is most notice
able. and although his earlier work is ex-
c%ellent, the later examples impress I'M
as having more facility and ease OF treat
ment.
Many OF Mr.. Leavitt's paintings are
done to order and these are painted with
careful regard TO the room which they
are to decorate. Such things rs the col
or of the carpet, the wall paper, the
style of furniture are taken into consid-
Grafton and especially the lighting Of the
room. Sometimes the problem Is very diff
cult and perhaps undressing, but in
the finished work nothing OF the labor
necessary TO produce IL appears.
Nearly in the center OF the studio Is a
large canvas not quite finished which
has a wonderfully delicate tone and is
extremely decorative . in composition.
When il 10 complete II will undoubtedly
be one OF the best things that Mr.. Leavitt
has painted, and in las present state is
very interesting, as showing something
OF the artists methods.
His marines are good, too, but other
painters can paint marine while no other
painter paints still life as Leavitt paints
il, so the visitors are apt TO admire the
fruit and flowers and fish more than the
Sakonnet studies.
Every body should go and see this COL
lection which is shown without money
ana without price. Everybody Is well
come, whether personally known TO Mr.:
Leavitt or not, and no one will be asked
to buy anything. One does not need 10
be ar artist to enjoy the paintings, neither
Is il necessary TO be n hundred yards dis
tant to appreciate them.

THE DEFENDER WINS.

Mighty Good Showing.

NEW YORK. July 2O.-The Nigilant
made n good showing to-day in her hrst
race against the Defender, and was
beaten in elapsed time only minutes
and - seconds on a 30-mie run.
1t was practical victory for the De-
fender. although It IS possible that when
both yachts have been measured the
time allowance TO the Nigilant may be
eufncient TO wine out Defenders small
,dvantape. After the race to-day the
ogiclals would not announce either boat
bod won. but contented themselves m
swing that the Defender had out-saiied
he Vlgilant on elapsed time.
From the best unofficial measurements
so far obtainable, however, 1t is though1
that the time allowance viii be between
one and two minutes So that in all pro-
liability the Defender has put a victory
10 her credit in her first race, thouSh py
an exceedingly narrow margin.
The official measurements VIII probably
not be given out for some time, but the
Judges may announce Monday which
yacht Is the winner
While all the yachtsnen are consratu-
Iating each other that the new Ameri-
can champion is apparently faster ana
better than the old one. they feel pride,
too, IN the TACT lIldl l4lt NNi1''''i VI

race that either boat could beat Nalkyrie

To-day's race was the first OF two con-
tests arranged by the New York Iatcht
Club for a special 500 silver cup.
The course was outside Sandy Hook,
where the trial-races and the information
al contest with the Nalkyrie will take
place. IT consisted OF q beat OF fifteen

The second contest will take place on

that the quality of the two yachts may

LIBERAL CONSOLATION.
The Liberals are ceasing to discuss the
causes that shattered the party,
and are concentrating their interests on
what the future may bring forth. The
Daily News. the Westminster Gazette,
and other leading organs take precisely
the game view as previously expressed
that Parliaments with great matorities
always show a tendency 10 fall 10 pieces,
and that the overwhelming strength OF
the Conservative majority VIII compel
Lord Salisbury 10 legislate in favor OF
land, church. and sectarian education
on lines which will lead to a rupture
in the Liberal Unionist ranks.
Regarding the permanence or great ma
jorltles. Sir William Harcourt. speaking
To the electors Of Monmouth. reminded
them OF how, in 1886, the Liberals wete
confronted by a majority in the House
of Commons Of 12G. which majority was
finally converted into a minority OF forty.
TORY INTRIGUE.
a significant article in the Times. In
which the Liberal-Cnionists are advised
20 abandon home rule and start airesh
on the old party lines, attracts atten-
ton, as It Il supposed TO have been IN
epired by an influential adherent OF Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain's besides forecasting
what may happen II the Tory inirigues
are successful in weakening the Liberal
Unionist element I'm the government.
The symptoms Of the intention OF the
Tories TO guide the government policy
with maeterful hand. independently Of
the feelings Of the Liberal-Unionsts, has
become so pronounced that 1t Is not
really premature to predict that Mr..
Chamberlain and his followers will be
obliged to submit to or desert the exist
ing coalition.
Thus, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach tells
his constituents that about the first at
tack Of the new government Will be the
undoing OF the effects Of Sir William Har-
courts democratic budget. be returning
large sums TO the landlords In rebate
Of the amounts paid by them.
Similarly the Tory candidates announce
that the public funds must be used freely
TO assist denominational schools, and in
the districts they promise TO repeal the
cotton-duties.
Lord Salisbury undoubtedly begins his
administration OF the government I'M
hampered by single pledge, but his sup
porters having heartily and honestly
promised much. will insist that their
pledges be carried out.
