hung on the waAs, and everything is in
readiness for the opening tomorrow after
noon The award Of the gold and bronze
medals will be made tomorrow morning by
jury composed of three well-known art
lists, Miss Cecilia Beaux, Mrs. Rhoda
Holmes Nichols and Miss Rosina Emmett
Sherwood, but the announcement will not
be made until late in the afternoon, when
the students and number of invited
guests will assemble to learn the result of
the contest and to have a first view of the
ex hibition
The greatest interest centers in the draw
ings, which are entered for the medal COM
petition, and which are hung in the hemi-
cycle. Each of the fifteen contestants sub
mits three drawings from life and an equal
number from the antique, and pretty even
standard is maintained throughout the en-
tire display, one student excelling in one
point while the work of another is to be
commended for good qualities of an entirely
different sort. 1t may chance that the
modelling in the work by one student is adj
mrabie, but the outline may be drawn in
an uncertain way, and another drawing
may be executed with great deal of pre-
cisior, and yet lack the movement and ac
ton that is to be found in the work of yet
another student. The points of merit differ
SO widely in the various contributions that
1t is said to be, to borrow an expression
from the turf, exceedingly difficult to pick
a winner"
A Marked Advance.
In the showing made by the competitors.
as well as in the display made in other
branches of study, a marked advance over
last year is said to be easily discernible,
and Prof. Andrews has good reason to be
satisfied with the seasons progress. The
Inst of students competing for the medals
does not by any means include all of the
capable workers from the antique and life
and Daisy Loomis Sadie Hinrichs and Belle
Davis are among those who show creditabe
work done in the day classes. From the
night life class come well-studied contribu-
lions by Messrs. Hoff, Ethel and Thrall, the
last mentioned exhibiting a series of paint
ings from the nude. Loretto Lowenstein
has on view series of ten-mnute sketches,
drawn from the nude in the special class,
which several of the students organized of
their own accord, and she has caught the
action of the figures in a remarkably sue
cessful manner. Suzanne Gutherz exhibits
an interesting series of sketches drawn
from the antique, and shows one figure in
many different views.
In OIL and Pastel.
The portraits and stil-life studies exc
cuted in oil and pastel hung in the
large room on the second floor. Among the
portraits especially there is some very ad-
vaEced work. Annie Shoenborn is repre-
scented by very pleasing head in pastel,
and Elizabeth w. Bell exhibits very good
portrait in the sarae medium, as well as a
number of heads in oil, possessing many
fine qualities. Maud Newman shows her
ability in solidly painted canvas, and
Antonette Connolly, n. c. McMullen, May
Goodell. Adelina Jouy, W. T. Davis and
number of others exhibit good work in por-
traiture. Anna Hunts rather ambitious
painting of a gypsy girl will attract atten-
ton, will also her still-ife studies. In
the latter field there is very satisfactory

Display in Nutel. ColoIs.
The display of the water-color class is
always interesting, as the students put
much more individuality into their work
done in that branch of study than one
finds, for example, in their life or antique
drawings. Miss Cooks influence over the
students in this class has been especially
beneficial. Miss Cook relinquishes her post
in the school this year and will leave the
city to make her home in Boston.
Perhaps the most striking of the water
colorS is an admirable figure sketch by
Viola Rrockett, uniting it does excellent
color qualities with firm drawing and an
easy freedom of handling. Mrs Ljungstedt
contributes several Of the most original
color studies, and Mabel Mckee is repre-
scented by number of artistic figure
sketches, the one of an old colored mann
Edith Ward exhibits some decorative
flower studies, and Eliza Wood has also
shown skill in handling flowers. Alice VIII
loughby is represented by some quaint
Gloucester scenes, and Lucy Lynch, Annie
Shoenborn, May Catlin. Nellie Weide and
Mrs. X emon are also among those who con-
tribute to the attractiVeness of this de-
partmcnt.
Adopts in illustrations.
The exhibition of compositions and
sketches is another display that will arouse
a great deal of interest among the visitors
TO the school, Ernest Nelson exhibits an
admirable set of drawings that show his
talent for illustration of the decorative or
der. There is noticeably fine effect of
line in his Illustration for poem by Thos.
Bailey Aldrich, and his charcoal drawing
showing group of figures in the half light
of a cathedral, is another excellent contri-
button. Loretto LoWenstein also shows in
a number of good drawings a penchant for
illustration, and Frances Hungerford and
