Some of the Features.
Though last night was one of the
most inclement of the season, and ex-
ceedingly disa greeable for turning out
to any entertainment, the Art Gallery
was crowded with a representative au-
dience in attendance upon the twelfth
annual exhibition of the Sacramento
School of Design, W. F. Jackson and
Miss NJ. Blanch instructors, and Chris
Jorgensen in charge of the water color
class. The Museum Association had
not anticipated SO large an attendance,
considering the clustering weather, and
was much surprised and gratified by
the outpouring, which for the entire
evening numbered over 700 people.
So many, however, were prevented by
the weather from attending, and so
many failed to complete their examin-
alton of the several hundred pictures
last evening that it was resolved to re-
open the exhibition for one night more.
The pupils bearing the expense of these
affairs could i'll afford the cost, bu. sew
eral public-spirited citizens have fur
nished the necessary means, and con-
sequently the hall will be open again
from 7:30 to 10 Wednesday night, and
a programme of music will serve to add
to the entertainment, but of course re-
freshments will not be served as on
last evening.
The programme last night was as
follows: Vocal solo, Mr.. Carroll, Miss
Mae Carroll accompanist; vocal solo,
Psalm of Life Mrs. Moeller, music
by Mrs. Genung, who also served as
accompanist For an encore Mrs.
Moeller sang ''Violets"; tenor solo, Mr..
Jorgensen of San Francisco, Miss Car
roll accompanist. He sang 1.-The Holy
City, with good taste and effectively,
and responded to an encore; vocal solo,
Mrs. W. R. Stone, THE Angels Sere-
nade," with cello obligato by DR.. Prem
tfce Miss Anna Shaw accompanist.
During the evening the ladies
served to the hundreds of guests free
chocolate and cakes in the vestibule of
the main hall, and in SO dainty and
tasty a manner as to charm all who
partook.
The exhibition, which is a complete
and unbroken success, is the largest
the school has made. 1t is in the char
acter of subjects less varied than some
which have preceded it, but this is the
judgment of all that not before have so
few Indifferent works been shown. In
deed, it is conceded by the most exact
ing critics that the general plane OF ex-
cellence is broader and higher this
year, and that there are no really poor
pictures shown. This is very crafty
ing to the instructors and very encour-
aging praise for pupils.
The exhibition is much augmented in
attractiveness by the addition of the
exhibits of the Sacramento Camera
Club, and also by the exhibits of the
new class in water colors, though it has
had but eleven weeks instruction.
Some notes of features Of the exhibi-
ton are appended, and will be COM
pleted in later issue:
IN THE LIBRARY.
The south walls of the library are
given up to the exhibits made by the
Sacramento Camera Club. at the re-
quest of the Museum Association and in
honor of the School of Design. There
are $50 pictures shown, and they make a
most attractive and entertaining ex-
hibit and do high credit to the club.
L. E. Graham shows river and mount
ain views and a notable picture of the
strike wreck of 1894, also beautiful in
teriors of the clubrooms. F. Kohler
shows outing views, the Truckee Ice
Palace and some especially handsome
mountain landscapes. Leon Androt has
a large variety of pictures, the more
especially effective being rock studies
one large club outing view is notable.
Carl Neubourg has a handsome sun
shine view of the Capitol and some
neat exterior views.
c. w. Tozer has a superior collection
of outing views in Yosemite. 7. l..
Shores outing studies speak of river,
camp and game. Nourse and Little
field have very large collection, rang
ing from portraiture to landscape and
interiors to marines. The mountain and
lake views and the portraiture are espe-
ciaIly fine.
S. B. Nourse has large piece shown
against the library mirror that has a
great deal of deserved attention. 1t is
of band of sheep on dry pasture on the
lower Truckee. It is remarkable in fine
light and shade and landscape effects.
c. B. Brown has a collection of pictures
taken along the rail-" and T. B. Hall
has group of small views of interiors and
rock scenes and of fine stock on his farm
place. The exhibit is small; it ought to
