Though no formal meeting of the Wash
ington Water Color Club has yet been held
the date' Of its annual fall exhibition, which
is to - held in the Hemicycle of the Cor
coran Gallery, have been quite definitely
fixed. Exhibits will be received on the
18th and 10th of November. The private
view is to be given the evening of the
Both, and the exhibition will be open to
the public from December to 10, inclusive
This makes the exhibit about two weeks
later than usual, but it has been so ar
ranged that it may not conflict with the
exhibition of the New York Water Color
Club, which is to be held in the Fine Arts
building in that city from November 8 to
December /.
The other exhibitions of chief interest
and Importance to be held during the fall
and early winter are the Carnegie interna-
ticnal exhibition of oil paintings, which is
20 be held in Pittsburg from November
to January /; the annual exhibition of oil
paintings and sculpture in the Chicago Art
Institute, from October 30 to December s.
and that of re Philadelphia Academy, the
date of which has not yet been announced.

Mr. l.. Amateis the sculptor, has been in
vited by Art Director Jas. b. Townsend to

Buffalo-where, by the way, it has attracted
very considerable attention-to the South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian expo
sition, which is to be held near Charles
ton, S. c., from December l. 1901 to June
1, 1302 This is very substantial comuli-
ment, as it carries with it "exemption
from the jury of examination, except
for medals and awards" and an exemp-
ton from all expenses.

This exhibition is of rather unusual in
terest, for though the south has been rap-
Idly increasing in wealth in the last dec
ade, 1t is still almost an untrodden field
in the world Of art. Every effort there
fore, is being made to secure works Of
art from the Buffalo exposition and from
prominent painters and sculptors, in order
that the display may be thoroughly rep
resentive of American art. 1t is purposed
also to exhibit at the same time and place
unique collection of pictures by the
painters of our colonial period and sue
ceeding years. Full particulars blanks
etc, can be obtained from Mr. Jas r

would be bad for him, and he carries his

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, October 1. 1901.
1t was at restaurant in the e. IS de
Boulogne, the evening of a great race. One
table in particular attracted my attention.
Course after course had been served, and
the walters were bringing the precious
liqueur bottles. handling them with solemn
ity, like sacred vessels. 1 had been struck
by the display of fruits. grapes as large as
plums, peaches that looked as If modeied
out of wax and delicately painted, hot
house Strawberries utterly out of season,
one to the mouthful. l had been struck
with the floral decorations. struck with tho
attention the gypsy orchestra was paying to
this table.
How much expense is represented by
that table?" 1 asked my waiter in conf
dence-"that table Of eleven covers, look
ing like an oriental parterre?'
II just saw the bill,'' replied the waiter.
"It amounts up to 5000 francs ($1.0OO.'
"Is it possible?'
twenty-five louis a head is not exagger-
ated," he answered, when you remember
that they have been drinking wines at so
and 100 francs bottle, that the table has
LOCO francs of flowers and that they have
been eating fifteen-franc peaches and three
franc Strawberries"
"Apece?'
APIECE. Exactly They are from the
Brussels hothouses, and this restaurant
has to bid against the millionaires and
princes of all Europe for them. Remember,
also, that the man who is paying for it
won fortune on the race today. Oh, I've
seen better than that" said the old garcon,
shaking his side whiskers II have seen
them bring four sterlets from the Volga
that cost 1000 francs. l have seen a table
decorated with one long garland of lilies
of-the-valley when they cost a franc the
stem"

waited on us a few days before when the
son of an American millionaire paid the
bill and tipped him 81, brought out the good

Now baseball trust 10 organizing
with $50, 900, coo capital designed to
merge the American and National
leagues, abolish all independent own
ership, dlsband superfuous teams
limit the number of players in each
club, adopt an interchange system
by which weak clubs can be strength
ened without expense or friction while
the baseball players will be at the
mercy of the organization and will
have to accept whatever salary the
employers see fit to give and play
wherever required. The usual argu-
meut is made of the enormous saving
of expenses that can be effected. What
is overlooked is that the scheme will
take all the sporting zest out of the
game. When once it is made a great
m .chine, all there is of life will be
taken out of it.
