subjects shown.
L. M. Fetherolf has some very hand
some exterior views, Golden Gate Park,
plaza, mountain lakes, rock scenes, res
licences and a corner in the clubroom-
Jack Steinman and Eta Steinman each
have a very pretty group of small pic
lures. DR.. l. G.. Shaw has four views
ION the road across the American. j.
J. Gormely has two pieces, one being
an excellent exterior of the Art Gallery.
L. NJ. Fetherolfs large portrait group,
outdoor, taken in Mill Valley, is a spe-
cially strong picture.
L. w. Nickel has a large collection
of Folsom, Del Monte, marine and for
est views. DR.. I. G.. Shaw's second col
lection embraces twenty-three pictures,
one a light interior, but the best
being Cypress Point" and Outside the
Golden Gate" The collection is very
attractive one. There are two capital
enlargements in frames by *. u. Burr,
marine views from the shore line with
children on the sands.
F. W. Moore shows river and interior
views; one includes as neat a DIT or
group portraiture as one need wish 10
see w. G. Woods has three sections,
one embracing eight exteriors and one
interior, all very delicate ana taken
with superior judgment and taste as TO
point of view and landscape effects. The
second section by Mr.. Woods is amateur
portraiture with retouching by hlmself;
also some very clever interiors, one pc
ing fash-light His third section con-
sists of nine landscapes notable for fne
foliage reproduction and for a peauu-
full view of the Capitol.
L. NJ Fetherolfs large frame view OF
the Golden Gate is the best marine IN
the entire collection, and is most worthy
of especial attention. The largest plate
in the exhibit by the club and which at
tracts most general attention, probably,
is w. G. Woods night view of the Capt.

is a strong work and admirably printed
Miss Carrie Yoerk has a neat collection
of figure pieces, charming portralture
and excellent for posing.
In the library, also on the south wall,
and at different points. were found
these works worthy Of mention: A very
handsome flower piece by Miss Mary A
Lewis, showing much progress on the

perior study in black and white in the
nude by Miss Kleinsorge-a strong
drawing-and two excellent still-llfe
pieces in oil by the same lady. One OF
the best things in animal painting Miss
Hinkson has done is on an easel in this
room, being study in oil of a dog; also
by the same artist a fine example of oil
portraiture, the portrait of an elderly
lady. Miss Dunlap has here also fine
example of correct drawing, and a diffl-
cult one to do, by the way; it is in black
and white, and gives an interior view
in the Art Gallery, requiring much Of
detail which she has well worked out.
Miss Kleinsorge shows fourteen studies
in oil from life. About some of them
there is apparent weakness in drawing,
but on the whole they do her credit. An
especially strong piece in coloring and
vigorous in drawing is a large canvas,
Apples" by Miss G. F. Merry. 1t is
pretentious bold and commands atten-
tion. Not without some open joints
for criticism, there is about it an atmos-
phere of strength that it impresses one
as representing native talent behind it..
In oil, a handsome flower piece by Miss
Carrie Yoerk; TWO clever hits back at
Master Weisel in the form of carica-
lures Of him by Misses Lewis and Klein
sorge, quite as good, by the way, as any
of WeisePs work; stiTl-life studies in oil
by Miss Dunlap and Miss Yoerk, both
good. strong in color and equally well
drawn; pretty game piece by Miss Mary
Hinkson, and soft, well-finished land
scape by Miss Lewis.
Black and white cast drawing is
shown in the library also, but the ex-
hibit of this order is not nearly so large
as in former years. Fewer pupils evil
IDENTIFY are now in the drawing classes
and far more in the classes, in oil and
in sketch work A lanscape in black
and white by e. V. Mcpherson is piece
in this room worthy of notice for its
good drawing and its boldness. Some
good cast work by X. Gerrsendorfer is
seen, a superior example indeed. A por-
trait of Hiram Clock by Miss Merry is
g very clever work. BY the way, Uncle
Hiram seems to be favorite study at
the school. There are full a dozen of
him here and there in the gallery. His
face really is, because of it's strong lines,
an excellent class study.

On the north wall of the east end of
the library Master Chris Weisel has
seventy pencil caricatures, in which he
takes off, and docs for every mem

! other people and some others evolved
from his fancy. Caricature is not a

has been permitted, however, to serve

work is vanity, over confidence. 1t is
perfectly evident that for one so young
he esteems his capacity too highly, es-

strength and originality that to have

exaltation would be lamentable If he
is impressed with the truth that he is
as yet but beginning and has many er-
rors and that he must be careful not to

slow and sure steps, his future is as
