When one considers that but year has
elapsed since the last exhibition, perhaps
a brief account of the work they have
accomplished will not prove uninterest-
ing. With but one or two exceptions
last winter, and when one considers the
number that have been finished since
that time by the few interchangeable work.
ers. the labor accomplished seems a mon
umental one. Take, for instance the
faithful labor of ourvfavorite scenic ar
tist-Harwood. Since last year he has
competed and placed on exhibition a
OF his beautiful reproductions of Utahs
f2-rest views, pictures. each of which is
finished thing of beauty. He studies
nature closely and is. Well rewarded in
the result. llss

Evans, has but nine,r but they all. bear
the impress of thought and labor. while
Individuality is the keynote of his sunny
brush. HIS work does not follow nature
SO closely. and partakes more of an I'M
aginative form. lerr
John Hafen. the most earnest and de-

OF any of his brother9artists, who finds
in her smiles. tears or frOwns the warmth,
light or chill of his existence, and who
finds her varying mood each more be-
witching than the last. is one of the most
faithful Of the workers. He has Il pic
lures in the exhibit, and besides their in
dividual work he, together with Mr..
Evans. instructs a large and promising
class of pupils.
Mr.. Culmer also exhibits II of his
charming little productions, and while.
unlike his brother artists, he does not
follow art as profession. his work
shows that he is not wrong in INDUCING
his love of the beautiful to its fullest
extent.

What do | consider the best method
for success in our Art socety?" said Mr.
Culmer We'll. think ii can be summed
up in one word-un:ty. We should not
forget that each artist has different
turbed. Each artist should give each
other artist all the freedom in the world,
providing his ideals are high and his in
rentions DrdiseWorthy. Kindness conSid-
Grafton and a helping hand are more eff

rating of each others work should.

exhibit which are not executed IN the
most approved style, but which, in my
opinion are more artistic than some that
are better painted.
There ought to come a time to the
artist when he should cease 10 th-nk OF
his paint or pigment. or If he, does think
