copsl Church, for his picture entitled

tops.
This is the third prize won by Artist
Tanner, and his success, achieved as it
has been by sheer merit, is source of
uDmeasured pride to the race to which
he belongs. 1t is remarkable coinci-
dence, illustrative of the wonderful re-
Operative power OF the Negro that
when one championship laurel is wrest
ed from him, he almost instantly fol-
lows up the defeat by stronger and
more enduring triumph in higher
walk of life. Examples might be mul'
tiplied but one is sufficient, George
Dixon loses the featherweight cham
pionsblp, but Mr.. Tanner more than
fills the gap in our prestige by his
triumph in the artistic world.
Mr.. Tanners famous picture "The
Annunciation" occupies a CONSPICUOUS
place in the French gallery of fine arts
at Paris.
