The record-union., 1899-09-12

The Willards and Banvards made
successful hits all week. and in spite
of Levy's threat to blacken their eyes
in the estimation of the public they
have the satisfaction that the Citizens
Committee has given them high rec
concentrations and has stood by them
in this contract The Citizens Club
agreed to pay the teams $3.50 each and
supposed that the contract had been
duly delivered to the players It was
a surprise to them that a forged con-
tract for a lower amount had been
used.
There are a number of fine exhibits in
the decorated china department this
year. Fully dozen large and deli :
| cately arranged cases testify how skill :
full has been the work of the ladies in
| charge of these exhibits Miss Emeret
Kennedy has several splendid cases,
showing painstaking and artistic work.
The other exhibitors in this depart
ment are Miss Edith Hughson, who has
many large cases; S. r. Church and
Miss Dora Maier All of these ex-
hibits are very fine and they have at
tracted a deserved notice They are in
the art department.
In fancy work there is a wonderful
variety of good exhibits 1t comprises
Battenburg work, silk embrodering
crocheting, and all lines of work done
| by needles and hooks. 1t is well worth
/ the time and careful attention of all
who are interested in such work to go
| up into the gallery and see what a
fine display the ladies have presented
for the nubIic admira tion
SOME GOOD PICTURES.
AS before stated in these columns, the
art hangings are numerous and of a
! high order. Without entering into
anything like an extensive or technical
criticism Of the paintings, a few of
! the more attractive will be noticed
from day to day.
j. w. ClaWsons picture entitled "Por-
! trait of Lady (52) is one of the finest
portraits ever seen here In coloring,
background, features, and detail, it is
pleasing and strong. 1t is not generally
known that the subject is the artist :
wife.
j. A. Stanton's marine Q2) is fine
study, good in coloring and conception.
and it is inspiring to peep at it.
|
Wanderer'' (296) is a splendid water
color, ship, a fine glimpse of sea,
phantomlike sails, and gulls wheeling
above the sails.
M. Burralfs Haying'' (30S) is as fine
rural transcript as one will see in
many a day. The load of hay, the
trees, the entire background, and the
details are cleverly worked out. 1t is a
water color.
| L. p. Lotimer's Golden Gate 313)
! is strikingly real and beautiful a hap
py conception throughout
| Tonnevold's Sunset" (4O is a strik-
| ing little picture Cattle drinking their
fill at eve, a flaming sky, and beau
tiful blood red reflection in the water.
Joullin's Blanket Weaver 900 is
a fine conception, but his "In Zuni
Land Q53) is even better. His Guard
ing the Prisoner" Q2O is better than
either however, striking leaf torn
from natures great book. The bound
soldier in blue lies before his highly
bedecked Indian guard, who sits watch
ing his quarry. Everybody should see
this painting.
Jennie L. Huber has a good exhibit
this year. and her work shows marked
progress in conception and execution.
Her storm QSO is Fascinating, but
her "Violets'' (22D is a masterpiece
that arrests the attention of every lover
of flowers. Among the Pines QS6)
is another bit of her work that shows
marked progress. Her Roses (l94)
has also attracted favorable notice.
Mrs. Gelwick's Apples" (22O are SO
well painted that lovers of that fruit
are reminded of old orchard days. 1t
is a good picture.
Louise ]. Conrad is happy in her
"Quinces'' (27) which has attracted
considerable attention and much favor
able notice.
Susie S. Looseley is very clever in
Peaches COD and one who looks
upon her luscious collection feels that
the artist had skill in every touch of
her brush.
In the Los Angeles collection Zetta
B. Richardson shines in a fine Offering
of good work, very clever for an anna
teur Her Portrait" (525) which is
of her father, is strikingly natural in
every detail. Her "Petunias'' (526) and
Portrait" (52O show very fine work.
Many critics say her number 525 is
the equal of any portrait in the gal
lery Her pink rose in water colors
(542) is another clever bit of painting
