and misty Weather, Cape Cod" The
latter is done almost altogether in cool
blues and grays; the distance is well shown
and the whole very atmospheric.
Near this hangs When the Woods Are
Green" by r. M. ShurtIeff of New York,
which Is an admirable painting and most
attractive one, dealing with an uncommon
ly difficult subject with great ease and
realism.
might Time" is an odd painting by Ben
Foster. At first glance it is so dark that
nothing but the night is discernible. but as
ones eyes become accustomed to the lack
Of light CLINT of water, a haystack, a
field and flock of sleeping sheep become
visible.
From Former Washingtonfans.
Mr.. Everett Warner and Mr.. Parker
Mann, once prominent young Washington
painters. but now numbered among those
from New York. are both well represented.
IA Salt Bark" by Mr.. Warner, is possibly
one Of the most picturesque paintings in
the exhibition and one that will likely
claim the largest share of admiration. The
bark Is seen lying at the wharf with her
impertinent little tug beside her, just as
the sun has set. illumining the oceans
mists with rich but gentle radiance.
"Wind-Jammers," by George Gibbs. is
without doubt the most dramatic painting
in the entire exhibition. 1t pictures graph
ically the deck of a schooner during a fierce
gale on wild sea. 1t is full Of action and
life and possesses delightful smack of the
bracing salt wind and the dashing water.
Mr.. Birge Harrison shows an odd painting
of a distant city across a lavender snow
plain, and Mr.. Charles Rollo Peters of Cali
fornia a strikingly fine one of the ruins Of
the Mission of St. Antonio de Padua by
moonlight.
From Local Easels.
With these should be mentioned as spe-
cially worthy of notice picture entitled
February Day, Washington, D. Co. by
DR.. David Kindleberger. 1t is an odd
shaped canvas just a yard square, and is
done much in the style of a pastel, but so
full of atmosphere and poetry, notwith-
standing the LONELINESS of it's subject, that
it cannot but receive the highest COM
mendation.
1.-The Last Gleam,' by Mr.. Carl Weller,
is an attractive picture, as Is also Moon
light" by Mr. Siebert. Mr.. Childs two
paintings are strong and characteristic. and
Miss Bertha E. Perrie shows that she can
manage oils with the same pleasant re-
suits that she has heretofore produced with
resented by two good marine paintings, and
Mr.. Sawyer, Mr.. Oertel, Miss Hanson and
Mr.. Nye also show excellent canvases.
The Genre Paintings.
One Of the few genre paintings is of a
familiar scene in the Center market

which is in every way most attractive

from an improvised stand heaps of the
festive wreaths and ropes, while the air
is full of winter freshness and Christmas
cheer.
'"The Music Lesson" by Ruth MCGOWAN,
is another picture which will find many
admirers, both from the daintiness of its
composition and merit of it's execution.
AS rule the still life paintings are of
small interest and make the weakest por-
tion of the exhibition. but here they con-
