Lieut.. William H. Jackson, a former
Worcester boy, will in all probability
be among the lucky ones to get COM

sets volunteers, has been forwarded

William A. Bailey and officers of the
new Worcester and Webster Street
Railway Company inspected the road
yesterday morning. The party was
driven along the entire route. Much
admiration was expressed for the new
car house at Oxford which is construct
ed according to modern ideas. Bad
weather has caused several halts, but
the opening Of the road will not be de-
layed seriously .in consequence. The
opening of the road will probably not
take place this week, but early next
week the officials believe trial trip
over the rails will be possible.

The Fifth Exhibition of the Wash
ington Water Color Club.
PRIVATE VIEW THIS MORNING
The Quality of the Pictures is Un-
usually High,
SOME NOTABLE WORKS

This evening the fourth annual exhibition
of the Washington Water Color Club opens
with reception and private view. and on
Monday morning the doors of the galleries
at 1920 Connecticut avenue will be thrown
open to the public, to which the club eX-
tends hearty welcome. The exhibition
will continue during three weeks, and no
pains have been spared by the members to
make it q thorough success. The quality
of the pictures shown this year is unusually
high and while there are no sensational
pieces-thOse before which the layman is
prone to eXclaim "stunningr'-the quiet
sincerity and truth of the display cannot
fail to make a strong appeal to those who
understand and appreciate an evident ten
dency toward the highest standards in art.

of satisfaction in comparing the work of

club has held.
In Black and White.
The department of black and white,
which in former years, 1t will be remem-
bered was apt to be little weak and I'M
steady, is this year fuller and more
healthy, as it were, than in any of the pre-
ceding displays. Black and white is al
ways looked upon by the public with
great deal of interest, perhaps because the
public understands form better than color
so it is particularly gratifying to find this
feature figuring prominently. The hon
of the room are shared by William
Fuller Curtis, Walter Stone, newcomer
and George Gibbs.

Mr. George Gibbs three Illustrations show

below the strict criterion by which home
work Is measured. Indeed, it is said by
those who know, and are qualified to judge,
that there are a number of pictures cata-

Wanted and widely advertised New York
Water Color Club that would cert ainly not
pass muster at the hands of a Washington
jury; which all goes to prove what the
more discerning members of the artistic
fraternity have for q long time Stoutly
maintained. namely: that without question
there is in the United States no city the
size Of this that can boast as large and
strong a cOterie of water colOrists, nor any
that can approximate the quality Of their
output. 1t will be noticed that many famil-
lar names are absent from the lists, and
the club certainly feels the loss of such
strong workers as Mrs. Barney, Juliet
Thompson. Mills Thompson. Victor Men
delef. and several others who. for one rea-
son or another, were unable to send any
thing this fall. But on the other hand the
works of men like w. *. Stone. w. A.
Sharp and w. II. Holmes give a dash Of
Virilty and masCulinity that distinctly
raises the tone OF the collection. However,
the ubiquitous critic is never absent, and
there will probably be some visiting the ex-
hibitiOn who will find works that they will
declare should never have been hung: and,
to a limited extent, the charge may be
true, for such pictures are bound to creep
in; but these same Self-constituted judges
should remember, to reverse an old maxim,
"hdt IL one mans poison may he another s
meat, and that the only way to derive the
full benefit from such a display necessarily

StrlcteSt decoration to purely pictorial sub

The hanging committee is to be congrat-

difficult task. The majority of people

it may lose in being ''skied' tof which there
IS not a single instance), sor by unpleasant
contact with some color scheme diametr-

of the club. Mr.. Moser, also deserves great

largely to success. Und0ubt eddy. while
