California Hotel and forever will it
stand as a monument to ice-water BAN

No prettier breakfast table could be
conjured up than the horseshoe of
white linen, yellow chrysanthemums
and feathery fern, the product of the
clever Mrs. Josephine II. Fosters deft
fingers.
Banks Of woodwardia filed the inches
and corners; a great yellow and white
heart of blossoms was suspended from

San Francisco lovers of art found a
treat at the Palace Hotel yesterday on
the occasion OF the opening of the sec
ond annual exhibition of the News
paper Artists League. The Maple.
room and its annex, in which were
displayed in a most attractive manner
the clever drawings and paintings of
local newspaper and magazine artists.
was crowded during the day and even
ing by the patrons of the exhibition
to whom the first day was allotted for
the purpose of giving them chance to
make their selections from the large
collection. In the opinion of San Ffan-
cisco's best critics who viewed the dis.
play the present exhibition excels the
one of last year
This years exhibition is larger and
possessed of more merit than the ini-
tial show, and includes the work of
many more artists The line and wash
drawings, the water colors and the few
but spIendidly executed oil paintings
have an attractiveness for the; visitors
that holds their attention. A noticeable
feature of the exhibition, is the coll
lection of caricatures of prominent men
of San Francisco. Another is the we'll
arranged collection OF posters. There
are also a number of Illustrations that
have been reproduced in the daily pa
pers during the past year.
The work of the color artists has been
displayed 10 a great advantage. and it
provokes much favorable comment.
This work is striking because of the
difficulties that attend their produc-
tions by the brushes of men who are
daily accustomed TO work almost en-
tirely in black and white.
AS evidence OF their appreciation of
the artistic work of the local artists
presented forstheir judgment. the pat
rons of yesterdays exhibitions were not
slow in making their selections. which.
however. will remain on the walls of
the hall until the exhibition closes next
Saturday evening. The sales. which
were exceptionally large. did not evil
dence any preference for any special
line OF work. the demand for line draw
ings being just as strong as that for
water colors.

Lorng Club Scores success.

The first concert of the twenty
eighth season OF the Loring Club was
given at Native Sons Hall last even
ing in the hearing of large audience.
David w. Loring. the director, was
prevented through an accident from
conducting the concert. ". c. Stadt-
field carried out the work with genuine
success. The singers were found not
one whit less effective than in former
years, and of all the fine numbers
superbly sung special mention should
be made of the tender Interpretation
of Mendelssohn's THE Voyage" The
merry, quaint and whimsical number.
The Three Chafers,' by iTruhn. was
rendered with stunning effect and ad-
mirable judgment. Miss Ruth w. Lor-
ing, the pianist, accompanied the sing
ers effectively and A. A. Macurda and
W. r. Kneiss, the soloists, rendered
their respective numbers artisticalIy.
