 This evening at 8 o'clock the exhibi- tion of original drawings from the Gen. tury company and the Scribners will open with private view to which all holders of season tickets will be ad- mitted. The large south gallery is fill ed with over three hundred pictures by the most prominent illustrators of to- day, and ones attention is closely held in studying the perfection to which this branch of art has advanced. The west ern and larger part of the room is filled with the Century company's exhibit, where the drawings of A. Castaigne are noticeable through their variety, in cluding the mystery of night effects, skillful rendering of delicate gradations of light and vigorous character studies. Joseph Pennell is well represented by his expressive treatment with the pen of views in the most picturesque place in the world"-a small town in the mountainous part of France. A scene in AfrttAs mining region by Walter Shirlaw, showing the letting down rocky pass, by means of ropes, heavy freight wagons, is powerfully express ed. Some religious subjects by Leon Guipon are beautiful in technical treat 1nent George Wharton Edwards has well drawn illustrations to stories of Dutch life of the present time, and shows himself equally at home in New England themes such as his "Old-Time Thanksgiving Dinner"
 Howard Pyle shows his mastery of black and white in effective portrayal of episodes of the revolution and naval encounters of the war of 1S12 Max KIeppers drawings of the thorough bred horse are a. pleasure to see, be- cause of correctness of form and ac- lion. The veteran illustrator Thul- st..p's work shows him at his best, and n sketch of an old doorway in New port. R. l., by F. H. Lungren is a strik- ing example of what may be done with so simple a tool as a lead pencil. The pen drawings by Alfred Brennan are marked by ar originality that impress es one strongly.
 Scenes from School Excursions in Germany" by w Zehme, incidents of tramp life in America by A. B. Bake, portraits by Eric Pape of the musicians Stavenhagen and Ysaye, and illustra- tions by w. T. Smedley, l. R. Wiles, c. M. Re1yea4to society stories add greatly to the collection.
 There are extracts of frontier life by F. Remington, who never fails to im- bue his men and horses with life and action. also studies of Indian life by w. Taber, who shows the familiarity of knowledge with his subject.
 When we turn to the Scribners' ex- hibit we find that although not so large At Is a selection from the work of the representative illustrators of the world Among the very first is ranked Daniel Verge who is famous for his illustra- lions for Spanish publications, includ- ing Cervantes' Don Quixote. The ex- ample by him is fine specimen of pure line work with the pen. A set of effec- tive small illustrations by J. Raven Hill for g. detective story were publish ed in the magazine during the year and the pictures by W. Hatheral to Barrie's charming story, Sentimental Tommy" lately concluded, are all shown.
 Four Japanese pictures by Robert Blum, character sketches by the late c. $. Rheinhart and set of carefully drawn tigers and lions by the anima, painter Van Muyden are important ad- ditions. Among the newer men Is Orson Lowell with numerous sketches of the daily life of the Chicago univer- sity in which he displays his contro of the different media of illustrative expression. His pictures for H. c Burners "An Aromatic Uncle" are charming pictures of the dress and
