British and captured the enemy's fort.
Mr.. Kaiser familiarlzed himself with
the history OF the battle and then
originated the scene. which he de-
signed to paint. He worked early and
late until he had produced his master
piece. The coloring Is excellent. the
perspective absolutely true and each
iigure brought out in bold relief, The
picture is full of animation and life
and tells It's story plainly. Every de-
tail has been brought out faithfully,
nothing overlooked. nothing sighted.
The many friends Of Mr.. Kaiser are
proud of his success and feel assured
that he will accomplish still greater
things. The painting Is now on ex-
hibition at FOG Houston street.
