PROFESSOR wr1n.s LECTURE.

Raphael and His ", rk Discussed Last
 Evening-A Large Audience-Raphaeps
 Work in the Vatican-The Next Lecture.
 A large audience was in attendance at the Yale art school last evening to hear the fourth in the series of lectures being delivered by Prof. Weir. The subject of, the lecture was "Ra- phael and His Time" Prof. Weir first showed views of Florence, where Ra- phael studied composition and express sion in the works of Masaccio from 1504 until 150S. Among the views shown were those oe the bridges for which Florence Is famous and the Pelagio vecchio, with the arcade and beautiful finely sculpturel pillars.
 Prof Weir said that Raphael had the rare quality of combining science and art He and Perigino were each pupils of Mesaccio. Creative art of the sort shown by Raphael does not originate in the fancy of the painter, but the con- captions are so strong that they become realistic.
 In the later work of Raphael we notice the influence of those artists who surrounded him in his early years. Raphaels father was also painter, and Prof. Weir showed view of one of his pictures, "The Madonna and Child" Raphael was sixteen years of age when he became a pupil of Perugino, who had a warm affection for him and re- garded him as a companion. He stud jed from nature, form and action and painted when but twenty years of age the "Coronation of the Virgin" one of his masterpieces. In 1519 he painted 8 tapestry design for Leo X on the same subject and proved the saying of Michael Angelo that a true artist needed no preparation. Raphael fol- lowed to a great extent in the lines of Perugino The artists of that day copied from contemporaries with great freedom, and it was not considered plagearism, but the way of genius. Raphael borrowed from Perugino, but also improved on him. Raphael had in his early work great skill in portraying the female figure, and later became equally successful in painting the male form.
 We notice change from his copying Perugino as he comes under the infiu- ence of the Renaissance.
 Raphael achieved the greatest tri- umph in his art in the Vatican at Rome, where he was assigned to the decoration or the papal palace, while Michael Angelo was assigned to the decoration of St. Peters. Raphael is the presiding genius of the Vatican. Michael Angelo has been called the prophet os art, but Raphael is the high priest of art. Raphael died at the age of tl1irty-seven on the anniversary of his birth.
 Prof. Weir will deliver his next lec- ture on April on Nuremberg and AL bert Durer."

Given q Housing Heception,

Boston, March 26.--A rousing recep- tion was given Hon. Theodore Roose- welt at Cambridge this evening at the final football talk of the season, when the New York police commissioner spoke on Playing for Harvard He did not, as said said, give the New York "cops' day off for nothing. He had something to say and he said it. He spoke straight at the students. The burden of his talk was that there should be none of the much talked of Harvard indifference. He said there had been a tendency towards it, but the enthusi- asm of the evening proved that there were certainly better days coming. He emphasized the fact that every man who makes an athletic team owes an extra devotion to his college and if he does his duty he is devotedly praised by Il .000 Harvard graduates. The way to success in life was to risk self for the benefit of @ great cause, and Har- yard was good cause to begin on.

The tournament will be opened on Monday evening, March 30, In Madison Square Garden. by Albert Garnier, champion of Belgium, and Jacob Schaefer. MT. Daly will go to Boston tomorrow night to confer with Schaefer, who is practicing for the tournament in Boston. This conference is made necessary by the fact that the three stars have found it impracticable to change the style of game which they have adopted, viz, 1S-inch balk line for the reason that the shortness of the time between each of the three tour naments in this city, Chicago and Bos- ton leaves them no opportunity to alter the style.

PORTRAIT OF CAPTAIN BARNES

Exhibited at Shuster's Dry Goods Store-
 Painted by MT. Kyle-A Copy to be Added
 to the Grays' Collection of Pictures of hx-
 Cap aims.
 In one of the show windows of Shuster's dry goods store on State street at the foot of Edwards street is to be seen an oil painting of Cap tain F. Paul Barnes, who was captain of the New Haven Grays in lS46. The portrait is of much interest to military men, especially old members of the Grays. Members of the Grays have re- uuested of Captain Shuster that they have a photograph of the portrait taken to be placed in the collection of pictures of former captains of this well known command. This picture of Cap tain Barnes will help complete the col lection os the pictures of former cap tains of the command. Captain Barnes was one of the most famous scenic artists of his time, and painted scenery for many of the best known theaters of the country. He was captain of the Grays only a few months, owing to the fact that he was called to Boston by important profession engagements. The above mentioned portrait was painted by Mr. Kyle, who was a noted portrait painter of hrs day, and who happening to be in New Haven for a time to recuperate his health, did the work then. The picture never received it's finishing touches as MT. Kyle was called home suddenly. 1t is, however, considered a good portrait of Captain Barnes. MT. Kyle was the father of Mary Kyle Dallas, the gifted writer for the New York Ledger and who suc- ceeded to the place of the late Fanny Fern. wife of James Parton, on that paner
