WORLDS RECORD BROKEN YESTERDAY

have been placed in the Art Gallery
proper, though not entered for pre-
MUM, but at the request Of apprecia-
tive friends.
Miss H. Billings has two studies,
270, which is fair, and III, which is
better. Elsie vocke1's water colors,
Poppies (3OO, Cherries 3O2), Thistles
(3O1), are more than clever. The water
color 3O6, 'Hickory-nut Trees" by
Miss d. N Morgan, is very good work
very creditable. But why say "Hick-
ory-nut Trees? Do people speak of
"walnut-nut trees or beech-nut trees?
Mrs. Pettis' View on Spokane River
(29O is excellent water-color work. 1t
is a pretty landscape and has qualities
of vigor that we like. Mrs. Mentions
water color, Bakers Beach" (2oS), is
a good piece. 1t is breezy, crisp, strong
and Is finished with freedom. Mrs. F.
f. Thompson's Chrysanthemums 2D
is a very good example of conscientious
work, but her "Marcheal Mel Roses"
(27S) are not up to the standard she has
herself set. Miss Billings two deco
rative panels Of Deer" (2S2, 2S3) are a
credit to her. c. Dalton Bonds Wild
Flowers are delicate and pretty but
they are faint. A little more strength
In color, even if 1t was exaggeration,
would have bettered the piece (295).
Latimer's Pool in the Redwoods''
(293) is a charming picture, and Mrs.
Mentions mt. Tamalpais' (31O is good
work. Mrs. Fanny McClatchy-R Rich
ardson has more water-color work than
we have noticed. Notable among her
better pieces are "Still Life" $500,
Globe Hotel, Chinatown" 1853, though
the choice of subject was not good
taste. Miss McCalla has a number of
water-c color sketches and studies that
are to her credit, and indicate thought,
conscientiousness and capacity. Elsie
Vockel has quite a number Of fruit
and flower pieces that we think aver
age better and more to her credit than
the pieces we have mentioned specifi-
cally (386-3S9). c. Tebs has some good
pen and ink work, notably 432, sketch
Of a Mexican plaza, and 431, a wharf
His pen and ink work is strong in Sc
lection and vigorous in execution.
