The annual exhibition of the kilo-
hama Art League will open next Mon
day. The committee completed hang
ing the pictures yesterday, and now
the ianitors are at work cleaning uF
and putting in order the rooms of the
League in the Tregloan building. The
exhibitors and their friends will have
the first peep at the pictures--a pri-
vate affair-on Monday evening. On
Tuesday afternoon the rooms will be
thrown open to the public. No adj
mittance fee will be charged. The eN-
hibition will continue for about three
weeks.
There are tifty-siN paintings in the
collection, and while the number is
smaller than last year, the general
tone is better. The average grade of
| tn work all through is much better
than ever before. 1t is very notice
able fact that the paintings exhibited
! at each annual show of the League
are much better than those of the
preceding year. The advancement is
steady, and most encouraging. There
are no very large canvases on eNhi-
bition, but there are some exquisite
small ones.
Naturally, Howard Hitchocks pic
lures take the leading place in the
exhibition. He has fifteen pictures
hung, and some of them are water
colors-an unusual departure for Mr..
Hitchcock. But the water colors are
strong enough to stand the severe
test of hanging side by side with the
oils, without the latter detracting
from their value. The most exquisite
thing that Mr.. Hitchcock exhibits is
"Sunset on the Waiakea River" 1t
must be seen to be appreciated. This
picture forms the centerpiece, and
over it the committee have hung a
portrait of little girl--a color sym
phony that is fayorite of Mr.
: Hitchcock's. "Kealakekua Bay" "Sea
and Cloud" and the companion pic.
lures. peace" and "War," all from
the brush of the same artist, justly
occupy the best positions.

tention, and she also has a portrait OF

armchair, that will attract genera
attention.
