WON A NOTABLE PRIZE.

London Royal Drawing Society Medal
Goes to . Girl Of I6
The award Of the bronze medal of
the Royal Drawing Society Of London
this year Is a matter of enthusiastic
interest to young art students all over
the world, inasmueh as it was won by
q young woman only 16 years OF age,
Miss Nellie Kuck.
Since the earliest Inauguration of Of
fering prizes for the best work among
any given artistic line artists of un-
doubted genius from Canova and Thor
valdsen have entered into eager COM
petition for the advantages which such
badges of distinction carry In their
train; for where they do not include
years Of study under most favoring
conditions, as they so often do, they
bring to an artist instant and wide
spread recognition; and it ought to
serve as stimulus to the youngest art
student in Philadelphia, Boston, New
York or Denver that youth Is no har
sinister to such honors. The drawing
which obtained for Miss Kuck SO dis
unguished a success is entitled "The
Young St Cecilia" a charmingly COM
posed decorative panel, chiefly inter-
esting by reason of its original and
novel manner of treatment. Perhaps
X was her own sweet youth in the
blOed that led her imagination away
from the additionally mature Cecilia.
and made it dwell rather upon the
heavenly maid when Inspiration first
dawned upon her youthful conscious
ness With a few clever, effective
strokes she has achieved the sweetly
serious face and pose Of the young
saint, the vell-grouped, raptly listen
ing angels above, topped by the con-
ventionalized figures Of music and Doe
try. The whole gives evidence of fine
poetic fancy, excellent art, and Is par
tculariy strong in the decorative har-
mony OF its lines Two years ago Miss
Kuck was awarded Lord Leighton's
prize for her drawing The Mermaid"
and he then-always so ready to en-
courage youthful talent-reeommended
her to adopt the artists profession. In
fact The Young st. Cecilia" repre-
sents her third success, as last year she
obtained the George Kekwieh's prize
