hibition to be held in the old building
where the students have worked for SO
many years. The next exhibition will be
in the handsome new structure which is to
be the home of the Corcoran Gallery, and
with the greater facilities for study which
will be offered there the school will I'M
doubtedly take great strides forward. The
three life and three antique drawings by
Miss Maud Newman, who was awarded the
gold medal on Wednesday, attracted per-
haps more attention than anything else at
the exhibition. Her drawings from the
cast were generally considered better than
those from life. and one of the Venus de
Milo is particularly well handled. The
modelling and light and shadow is good in
all her drawings, and the same is true of
those exhibited by Miss Ford who received
the bronze medal. Miss Quinn's drawings,
upon which she received the honorable
mention, called forth their share of praise.
"A drawing from the cast of the Discobolus

act of throwing the discus, by Mr. Kirk

Very good action was shown in life draw

verdict of visitors that Prof. Andrews may
take pride in the work of the students in
the antique and life classes, where the
main strength of any school must lie.
Serious study was also shown in the por
trait class, which Mr. Hinckley has had
in charge Miss Hunt, who recently re
ceived the prize of $500 for a likeness of
herself, exhibited several good portraits.
Three heads by Miss Arnoinette Connolly
were hung, the best one being a broadly
treated study of an Irishman, which is
very good in character. The portrait of a
friend by William II. Coffin, which was
awarded an honorable mention at the Cos
mos Cub, was again exhibited, and large
portrait of his mother was praised for its
sound treatment and coloring. A head of
