high order of merit. Harvest Time" No.
5, is a landscape agreeably selected, in
which Il single figure as a model has been
happily introduced, the shocks of corn
compose well against a background OF
trees, and the sky is a choice interpreta-
tion OF autumn atmosphere
No. 6, by the same artists, "a New
England Pastoral" is a simple compost
tion, treated in a broad manner and pleas
ing tone. The remainder of the work Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Carkhuff is not wanting in
interest, and evidences careful study in
the making Of pictures of an artistic ma
ture.
W. F. Peabody, the secretary of the
club, exhibits ten pictures. of which two
striking portraits showing a wise selec-

work are in class special.
Mr.. Peabody has other portraits. par
ticularly portraits of three young ladies
which please me better than his work in

Helen E. Williams exhibits four nor
traits. and as the models have been well
selected. the exhibit is quite attractive
and the work far above the ordinary.
No. lsO, the best of her exhibited work
suffers somewhat from the white margin
which surrounds the print and detracts
from the interest in the real merit of the
picture.
OF the four pictures exhibited by W. S.
Davenport, his Spring" No. rs, seems TO
possess more than common worth.
The impression given by the picture is
that the artist has selected the most on
perfume moment for picturing the warmth
OF spring day, just as the leaves are
opening, and nature is awakened by the
warmth into shaking off the long sleep of
winter.
Miss Rebecca L. Webster is represented
by five pictures. four OF which are inter
esting pictures of children. OF these No
lSi is the picture of an unusually attrac-
tive child. but the frame being circle
will seem somewhat lost among the other
frames. In No. 1S2. THE Butterfly" Miss
Webster gives a daintily posed model
quite suggestive of the title The pose
is fine in action, and the arrangements at

DR.. +. A. st. Clair exhibits ten pictures,
of which No. 10. Feeding the Pets"
seems the best of his exhibited work The
group of cattle which are being fed is
presented in realistic manner. but the
charm of the picture is in the fine rem
dering OF the distant fields
J. A. Massic has FIVE prints in the ex
hibition. Those who remember the work
of Mr.. Massie of year ago will notice
that his prints are less brilliant. and
therefore truer in tone value. His "Har-
vest Time" No. i30, is a pleasing study.
which would be improved by printing in
a warmer tone. Roses" No. 13i. shows
poetic feeling in the picturing of a single
rose branch with two half-opened buds.
Some will say the picture lacks vigor. but
more vigorous print would have de-
tracted from the subtle feeling of the
composition.

that little is left TO encourage. The
pathos OF the picture is unmistakable.
There Is no gladness of the harvest days;
that Is all Of the past, and ahead there is
nothing to look forward to, only the
dreary days of waiting until spring ap-
pears and the gladness Of the new life is
again at hand.
All of Mr.. DAVIS work is marked By
seriousness OF purpose that presents
stronger than words can do the senti-
ments that he places upon doing things

Miss Julia Bullock is represented by six
pictures. Her work this year has fully
maintained its former average. In No. 55
portrait, there is evidence of skillfuI
massing of the shadows with a treatment
OF the flesh tones, such as is found in the
work OF g. c. Cox. In Memories" No.

see no reason why photography should
not be on the same footing as paint
ing in this matter. except that it Is
only recently that photographers have
begun seriously to make pictures for
the sake of the picture: and that few
photographers comparatively have
made a study of pictorial art in its
wide sense. A jury for an exhibition
OF photographs should certainly com
prise at least one skilled photogra
pher, for the same reason that jury
OF painters alone would desire TO have
among them a sculptor when judging
sculpture. The exhibiting sculptor
would be entitled to have an advocate

Madame Zsulavsky's Work.

Among the new exhibitors the work of
Emma de Zsulavsky takes a prominent
place. Madame Zsulavsky exhibits the
largest number of prints accepted from
any one exhibitor, and her work is replete
with individuality. showing that while she
has evidently absorbed much from the
work of others she has not been affected

charming study in simple. effective pos
ing somewhat Gibson-iike in the arrange

No. "a, Fairy Tales" by the same ar
tist. is an example of strong expression
realized in the treatment Of an interest
ing child posed in a heavy chair with an
open book in his lap. The dreamy ques-
tioning expression in the face OF the child
shows either strong feeling in a child SO
young. or the skillful direction Of the
artist who made this delightful study.

the same artist, is somewhat remindful In
its treatment OF the work Of Count Won
Gloeden, and her No. 199, Ethel; A Por-

BY Il. HOBART NICHOLS.

The real question is, Shall photo
graphic exhibitions be characterized by
art or by mechanical skill? This is
SO broad question that IL admits Of
very little discussion. II is simply
a matter OF point of view; a personal
equation which must be decided by
those who control the exhibitions
There are many people whose mathe-
matical sense predominates, and they
enjoy a photograph not for itself, but
as the result OF precise mechanical
operation. On the other hand there
are those who are appealed to most
strongly through their aesthetic sense,
and a photograph TO interest them
must be poetic and artistic-in other
words. must allow some play for the
imagination. To discuss the relative
merits of the two classes of persons
would be as useless as an attempt to
determine the superiority OF the
mechanic over the artist. or vice
versa.
