In spite of the fact that the Pavilion
is well worth seeing, and that every
display is now in good order, the
crowds yesterday afternoon and last
night were not what they should nave
been. There was one satisfactory feat
ure last night, however-there We're
hundreds of spectators in the art
gallery, and they studied the hangings
carefully. the catalogues being in evil
dence.
There is an interesting display of
amateur talent among the hanglngs,
especially seen in many of the still-llfe
themes that abound in the Oakland
group. Miss Hinkson of Sacramento
made a good showing in this class, her
work being superior.
One of the strongest and most I'M
pressive of the professional exhibits is
Cattle CAB, by William Hahn, de-
ceased, formerly a well-known San
Francisco painter One seems to be
but a few feet from two lazy oxen,
which have been startled from chew
ing hay; and they look up quite nat
urally from their surroundings of hay
and hens in the barnyard, but seem to
be resting from their cud- chewing only
for a moment The tone of the picture
as the artists call it (and this simply
means its general effect by the com
bination of light, shade, color, etc), Is
very striking. Every detail of the work
seems thoroughly and naturally worked
out, the total composition being such
as appeals to the observer.
In portraits the head $50, by Mrs.
l.. Sleeth, is one of the striking hang
ings, as is also a head by c. Jorgen-
sen CO., which is equally striking in its
naturalness.
G. Jonnevold has a number of very
striking pictures among the hangings
particularly one called Marine" (26),
which gives a charming glimpse OF
coast in the moonlight. The coloring
is soft and the subject throughout is
handled so as to make one feel that he
is viewing the main on a night when
the moon is peeping through clouds.
Hard by this is r. d. Yelland's
Evening Marine CID, which is a
coast view at sunset. The colorings are
rich, the sky being a deep crimson,
which is beautifully reflected in the
water, the general effect being poetic
and inspiring.
No. "a is a striking marine study by
c. Won Perbandt In coloring and gen
eral composition it is wholly unlike
either of the marines just mentioned
but it is equally we'll done, it's somber
colors being quite suggestive Of a gray
or foggy day There is no more strik-
ing contrast than in the three pictures
numbered 20, 81 and "a; all these are

different mood, r conceived and
handled by different artist.
All of Won Perbandt's pictures are
worth studying-"A Landscape" (62)
1.-The Edge of the Wood (63), and
"Redwoods" 6D. They bear evidence
of careful study and artistic handling
softness mingled with strength being
their browning glory.

is a native of San Jose, but has gone
to Europe to devote her life to ANNA
painting, in which she seems destined
to succeed quite well.
A. W. Best's Chinatown" (9o) is {

Oriental.
Grace Hudson, whose Indian paint
ings are we'll known all over the coast
has several very clever exhibits. Amone
these a very small painting called "Al
Indian Boy" Q3O, will attract atten
ton. Her subjects are all we'll posed

mind the idea of a day that has beer

with careful studying.

Richard L. Partington's Deer Pad

suggestions that the well-known news

as well as he now draws.
